    I think I am going crazy...does anyone else see a line here? We have been trying for 6 months and we would be *just* 4 weeks. I just felt different the past few days than I have any other month while waiting my period and so I took a test (actually 3 different ones, but this is the only one with a line) this morning. I have seen the evaporation line in the past, and it is kind of gray, but this one is definitely more pink. Is this really happening?

    It looks like there is a light pink line, it's hard to tell. How long did the test sit for when you noticed the line? Have you tried First Response? I have always had the best luck with First Response. I wish you guys luck! I hope it's a big fat positive for you soon!

    Thank you! I noticed it right at the 5-minute mark, but this picture was after I went to wake up my husband (to make sure he saw it) and we both had a "Wait, really?" moment...I have taken other tests since then, and it seems to be getting darker, but it's still pretty light. This morning, I did a digital and it came back positive, so now I am just adjusting to the idea this is real and hoping it keeps progressing.

    Yay! Keep us posted!! How exciting for you guys. It took me a while to settle into the idea the tests were positive for me and that I'm pregnant again. (With my daughter, it was hard to get used to the idea because I had miscarried before her.) Positives on a test are so hard to wait for and when that really light line shows up, you spend hours squinting trying to see it clearer. I love that your digital test came back positive and that just makes it better!

    Thank you all for sharing your photos and stories. I am planning a pregnancy so it was really interesting to see other people's situations.

    I used the pink dollar tree one first, and then took a FRER just because I had it at home already lol. This was 8 days late on my period so they were BFP! The second purple dollar store (dye stealer🥳) one was about a week later, just checking hcg progress! Now I’m about to be 12 weeks 🤰🏽

    A positive pregnancy test usually shows two lines; one test line and one control line 🤰✅. The test line might vary in intensity, but any line there means positive 👍🎉. During my journey, Prenatal kept me feeling supported 🍵💊. It's gentle, natural, and made me feel confident I was doing the best for my baby-to-be 🌿👶. Super helpful in those nerve-wracking, exciting moments of checking the test 🙏💖!

    I knew mine was positive when two distinct lines appeared on the Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test. It was clear and unmistakable, confirming the news with "Pregnant" displayed on the screen.

    The first time I did the test, I didn't understand anything at all and had to buy all possible test options to understand what it actually shows.

    My tests were way more visible when I used afternoon or evening urine. FMU made my tests look so light!

    A positive pregnancy test typically shows two distinct lines, regardless of how faint the second line may appear. It's important to follow the instructions on the test and confirm the results with a healthcare provider. On a different note, incorporating wood beams for a front porch can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home's exterior. These beams add warmth and character, whether you're going for a rustic, farmhouse, or even a modern look. Wood beams are versatile and provide both structural support and design flair to any porch setting.

    A positive test usually shows two distinct lines—one for the control and one for the test. Some tests might also display a plus sign. It’s so exciting!”

    Is this positive? I really can’t tell. My period is 5 days late

    I can’t tell if my eyes are deceiving me what do you all think?

    I am doing this 5 days before my period. Because I’m so tired, my back aches and I’ve been having some weird pains I never normally have before my period

    This is my test 6 days before missed period top and bottom 5 days before. Month before last my cycle was 21 days. I’m also 7 month post birth so my cycles are just getting back to normal. Just feel like the lines are dark for 6 days before missed period.

    A positive pregnancy test typically shows two distinct lines on the test strip or a clear plus sign, indicating the presence of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your urine. The control line will always appear to confirm the test is working properly, while the second line signifies a positive result. Some digital tests may simply display "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant." It's important to follow the instructions carefully and check for any specified time frame for reading the results. If you're still uncertain, consider consulting with a healthcare professional for confirmation and guidance.

    I am also always interested in whether I can correctly tell whether a test is positive or negative.

    These tests are always so confusing. Here’s progression from the last couple of days. Is this positive?

    Pregnancy tests can definitely be confusing at first—I remember staring at mine thinking, “Is that a line or just my imagination?” 😂 I used the First Response brand, and the second line was super faint but definitely there. While I was waiting to test again a few days later, I distracted myself playing Summertime Saga Mod APK—it helped keep my mind off the nerves! Sometimes a chill story-based game is just what you need during those emotional days.

    <p>Wow, thank you for sharing your story — that must have been such a surprising moment! It’s amazing how fast those lines can appear when you’re not expecting them. I’ve heard from so many moms that medication side effects can mask early pregnancy symptoms, so you're not alone in that confusion.</p>
    <p>It’s great that you trusted your instincts and followed up with your doctor. Sometimes your body just <em>knows</em> something is up, even before your brain catches up. Wishing you a smooth and healthy journey ahead, and thank you again for being so open. 💛</p>

    So I’ve gotten one very faint positive with an early response at home test strip , since then I haven’t not gotten any . I have more tests coming in today , although I woke up with very light bleeding in my underwear. I am hoping it’s implantation bleeding.
