: : hi,

: : I have been ttc for about 2 months now...well heres the deal. I took a test today and the -window had a really faint line...took awhile for it to show up, and couldn't see anything in the +window....should I just wait to restest next week? My boobs have been really sore and I did just get over my period but it was like 6 days after and my husband and I had sex on the 6th day....also is there a number I should call if I had a defective test?

:
: : thanks Heather =-)

: I would say the test is probably negative. You can only get pregnant wyhile ovulating and that occurs roughly 10-14 days before the start of your next cycle depending on how long your cycle is. I have had pregnancy tests where the test line is faint and all that means is it is working. There is a number on the side of the box you can call to ask them, I did the same thing.
: If there is a faint line in the +/- side then it is pry positive. I had one so faint you could honestly barely see it, well I am 17 weeks pregnant now. But anywho, I woudld say it is probably negative.
: Also usually you need to wait until your period is due to test, this gives your body time to produce the HCG pregnancy hormones, which is what the test tests for. If you test to soon they may not be high enough to test yet.

hi thanks for the info.....I'll probably wait until its time for me to have my period again to take another test or even worry about it....

thanks alot
heather
