Faint positive? Help!!

trishwille · September 2020

I got these two tests as faint positives or so I thought. These were early, only 9DPO. Then I went the day after midday to the doctor for a urine test and she said it came back negative but still is very very early. I am freaking out:(

From the Welcome, New Member post.

7. Do not post pictures of pregnancy tests.

8. Avoid listing symptoms and asking the community if you are pregnant. The best way to know if you are pregnant (and to keep your stress levels down) is to take a test and consult with your doctor.

From the TTGP Guide, which states:

Am I Pregnant?

First thing: it is against the forum rules to ask if you are pregnant (straight forward or in a round about way) and to post pictures of HPTs asking about lines. A line is a line=pregnant. The only place you can post your HPT is What Does A Positive Test Look Like in First Tri. If you are looking for a success story, the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Trimester; Pregnant After Infertility or Pregnant After Loss boards are best suited for your question. We can not tell you if you are pregnant, so please don't ask. Take a test, if it's negative, lurk some more and get to know the community. If it's positive, congratulations, please move on to your BMB or First Tri and participate there.

Honestly, a faint line at the doctor is negative. They won’t say a pregnancy test is positive until the test line is as dark as the control line. Only time will tell.

Agree with @chindimples04, this was not an appropriate post.

For OP and anyone else lurking, the urine tests at the doctors office are basically dollar store cheapies. They are not early pregnancy tests, and they are substantially less sensitive than an FRER. It always blows my mind when people come to the doctor before even missing a period and want us to “confirm” it. Unless we are doing a beta, what we do is not sensitive at all.
