Pregnancy Test Question....faint line after 2 1/2 mths of pregnancy???

Question

I went to the dr back in May and found out that I was pregnant. The first pregnancy test I took to find out I was pregnant showed lines that were very dark. well, sometimes I don't feel any symptoms and I wonder if I'm still pregnant. Everybody says this is normal but, being the paranoid person I am, I went and got another pregnancy test and took it. This time the second line was real light. What does that mean?? I drank alot of water before I took the test, could that affect the results? Please help, really nervous, won't have next dr's appt until July 18th and no one mentioned anything at my dr's appt about low hcg or anything. Baby was normal with strong heartbeat. Please let me know if you have ever had this happen to you. Thanks.

Answer 1

pregnecy test from the shops are weak in the truth 90%

a test from the doctors are 99.9% accuracte

Answer 2

ok im a pee-on-a-stick-aholic and also very paraniod ive lost two babies so i have reason to be. The reason your line is gettin lighter is because hcg (the hormone used in pregnancy tests) starts to decrease around 10-12 weeks because the placenta no longer needs too much of that hormone to sustain the pregnancy. Its at its peak in the first and second month because the placenta is not big enough to be on its own supporting the baby. But mine actually started to decrease at 9 weeks so it can start decreasing earlier just depending on the person. No worries when i take a pregnancy test now i can BARELY see a line and i have to hold it up in the light to see it lol and i KNOW im pregnant lol im 17 weeks lol

Answer 3

I done 4 tests to find out if I was pregnant all had very faint lines. I am now 6 months pregnant baby is fine. The only time I feel pregnant is when bubs kicks. My first pregnancy I was sick for 3 months and felt pegnant they are all different. If you are worried go up to the docs and just tell them you are concerned and they will probably use the doppler to listen to the heart beat just to put you at ease.

Answer 4

A faint line is still a positive line. You are still pregnant, your baby won't just dissapear without any symptoms of a mc.  The water you drank may have deluted the hormones in your urine, but they were still there since you got a faint positive.  Just relax and be happy that you aren't sick! If you are still worried, call and talk to your doc! Hope you feel better!

Answer 5

You are still prego, don't worry.  As long as a 2nd line shows up, faint or bold, you are pregnant.

Answer 6

Its the water. You would know if you had a miscarrage. I was the same way with my son. Try to relax and not think about bad stuff. I went out and picked up a baby heart monitor. Any time I got worried, I just put the headphones on and listened to his little heart beat. It will be very fast. My sons was always on my right side.
