I am breastfeeding my one year old so I do not get regular periods. I was bleeding for 4-5 days (light flow compared to my usual) and stopped on Thursday but I have been super nauseous and thought that my period seemed weird. I took a test today (so a week since I stopped bleeding / spotting) and saw the faintest line ever right away that got darker over the next hour . I took another test and it did the same. It is so faint I am not sure if it has color.
What are the chances of two evaporations line on a pink dyed test?
Then you need to call your doctor if you are concerned. If you are not TTC, and temping and/or taking OPKs since you're breastfeeding and have wonky cycles still, there may be no way to know if you're PG or not except for a blood test. That's why I said wait a few days and test again. We cannot see inside your uterus to know, and definitely can't advise you if you don't know...
If you're positive the tests are positive, then why are you here? Schedule an appt with your doctor. Tests are NOT supposed to be read outside the test window, so it doesn't matter how dark it got an hour later, once you hit the test window period, that's it. THAT is how dark it's supposed to be when read. Period. Again, if confused, you could try a different brand of test. But if still concerned, CALL. Your. Doctor!
I'd think that 4-5 days of flow would be a period...some bleeding is possible with pregnancy, but that seems like a lot of it. You're saying that both the test line AND the control line were very faint, or you're saying that you took two tests and both of them had faint test lines? If the control lines were faint, you probably have a bad batch of tests. If the control lines look normal, you may want to test again in a few days to see what the test line looks like. if it's still there, call your doctor. My guess is that you had a period and are dealing with some bad tests, but it's possible that you're pregnant and had some implantation bleeding, or perhaps had a CP so HCG is still showing up on your HPT because it hasn't dropped all the way to zero yet. but the only person that can confirm anything for you is your doctor, so you may want to give them a call.

I'd recommend waiting a few days to test again, unless you get AF in the meantime. If you are concerned, call your doctor.
