Yes, definitely take another test! These symptoms sound very promising, and so give it at least another week or so, and test every 2-3 days. I've been pregnant 3 times and 2 of those pregnancies never showed up on a home pregnancy test. Sadly, all of those pregnancies ended in miscarriage, but that was for another reason, not because it didn't show up on a home pregnancy test. So it's not a bad sign if you're actually pregnant and it's not showing up on a home pregnancy test. It's just that those tests aren't always accurate. A doctor can do a blood test in the office and it's nearly fail-proof.
I should also say, though, that my husband and I've been trying to conceive for 4.5 years, and I've had all of these symptoms before without being pregnant. I know that isn't very encouraging, but I just wanted to let you know that I totally understand where you're at, and that feeling of excitement you get, wondering if what you've been waiting for has finally happened! I really hope that you're pregnant, but if not, don't give up! Good luck, sweetie!View Thread

So sorry to hear about your loss, too! I know what you mean about the cheap tests...I've had a false positive before with a dollar store test. The Early-Pregnancy-Tests strips are supposed to be very sensitive and reliable - the best on the market - but it looks like I'll have to be more careful about following directions. I guess the second line can appear when the dye line gets soaked with urine, but it doesn't actually react by changing colors (because there's no HCG), and so it disappears. And then sometimes, after the urine dries, the residue sticks to the dye line and makes it appear darker (an evaporation line), and so for both reasons they tell you not to read the result outside of the time. So frustrating though, I feel you! GOOD LUCK! Hugs and Baby Dust right back at ya!View Thread

Thank you so much for your thoughts and advice, all of you! I've been using the Early Pregnancy Test Strips (from early-pregnancy-tests.com), and I was told by customer service to interpret the result only at the 5 minute mark. I've tried a couple more times since then with no positive result at all. Also, my BBT dropped today and I started spotting so I believe AF is on the way...
...I feel like crying. I'm tired of doing this over and over. It will be 2 years since we lost our first and about a year since our second and third...nearly 5 years of TTC in all. But I know some people have it worse, so I guess I just have to hang in there.View Thread

I know most people are here looking for answers, not to give them, but has anyone here experienced a positive pregnancy test with a disappearing test line? I've had 3 tests in the past day that came up positive but then faded away within 10 minutes. Some websites say this is probably a positive, and some say it's probably a negative. Any one out there have any ideas? I'm going to keep testing, but I thought I'd ask.
Any help would be appreciated. We've been TTC for 4.5 years and had 3 early losses. I'm high risk so I need to find out if I'm pregnant ASAP so that I can start getting daily injections.View Thread
