Pregnancy Test?

I just recently took one, and I'm.. a little confused.
I'll be taking another one tomorrow morning, then a doc's appointment on Tuesday, but I'm just wondering if this has ever happened and what the outcome of it was.
So, of course, the Cross means you're pregnant, and the Negative symbol means you're not.
What happens when the line finishing the cross (up and down line) is completely solid, and the negative portion of the line is barely filled in?... =/

I'm a bit confused by your description, but usually, a line no matter how faint is considered a positive. Good luck with whatever result you're hoping for!

It sounds like your test could have been faulty, but as the previous thread noted, any faint line is a line. I'd take another test and if it's positive make an appt with the doctor. Good luck!!

You're likely to get more clear results first thing in the morning.

in my experience, a line is a line, no matter how faded.
I didn't do that test though

I believe the test checks for HCG in your urine. The further along you are in your pregnancy, the darker the line. If you've conceived within the last few days the line would probably be faint.

you do have to make sure you do get enough urine on the strip...

I've always used first response, which doesn't have a + or - sign, just one or two lines, and it's never given me a false positive or an unclear reading. (I'm not trying to concieve)

if its a faint line i bet you could be pregnant but the hormones that turn that line darker aren't super strong in your system yet. Good luck with whichever way you are hoping - let us know!

Your are probably pregnant. I took a test on my lunch break and saw no line. I dumped it into my waste bin at home. After work I told my hubbie that I took the test and it was negative. He wanted to see it and we went to the bin and THERE was the line, 5 hours later I'm pregnant! Weird but true.

did you read the directions PP? most tests say ignore the results after an hour, because then it's not reliable.
