Hi everyone,

I took a CVS brand hpt a few days ago and after about 5 minutes got a faint blue line. In about 20 mins. the test looked as it had two lines with nothing in the middle (see below). I am not sure that this really is a positive result. I think this could just be an evaporation line. Any opinions? Thanks in advance

Hey, it looks like a real line to me! Evaporataion lines are usually grayish not blue. If in doubt you could always take another test. I think you got a BFP!!!!!! Congrats!

Looks like a postive. Did you test again? If not I would just do it again. Hoep this is your month!!!

Thanks you ErinK508 and Fran!

I have tested again and gotten just one of the lines a few times. But, I also got a few negatives... Of course, this probably depends on the time of the day I tested (sometime I have tested during the day) and how much hormone was in my sample! ... my AF is due anytime now (I am really irregular, but should start between Tuesday (7.1.08) and tomorrow). Well, I am just confused ... and I really do not have so many other sign. Little abdominal discomfort and breast tenderness- but could be just AF coming.

Thanks again. It helps to have another opinion as I just cannot focus on my work and keep on thinking about this...I will keep you posted.

Thank you for your encouraging thoughts Letsgomyeggos. You must know how frustrating it is to just wait.... And I have been feeling as if I was gonna start for sooo many days now (little cramping), but I just thought it is my mind playing some tricks on me.

When i was pregnant I was crampy for the first 2 months! Really Crampy!!

Oh... I hope it will not get worse. Actually, it is not too bad, but I have been feeling bloated and just been having discomfort in my lower abdomen- it is hard to describe and localize... almost like "burning" sensation sometime =). But no worries, it is there, yet not too bad

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Are you going to have a blood test? My clinic does same day.. as long as you go in the morning.. you get a result by noon!

If I have not started by next Monday, I will go. I just want to make sure I will not start... To be honest I am little scared as I was not planning on this. But I am already at the point in my life that it will be okay... I think my significant other will be shocked though (I have not mentioned this to him and I am not really sure how he will take it).

Oh wow. Well.. I'll take your baby if you're not sure haha!!

That's sweet... but you know, my eggs wont be around forever, so I think I will try (I think, in general having a baby after 37 is much more difficult even in vitro).

And I have this awesome site to and people who I will hopefully help me in my struggles. But, thank for offering!! Smiles!! Soo... how many children do you have?

Good luck to you!! It is so difficult nowadays to have time for starting a family. And I think we are always taught "try not to get pregnant'... But I can tell you that I work with some of this stuff and that although it is more difficult after 37, many many many women have no problems what so ever before 45!! And since you already have one, it will give you a huge advantage (it is so weird, if you have one before 37, your chances of conceiving are much higher after 37...like your body knows... ) Well, I am 32, so that is why I think I should really just hope for the best!

Thanks again so much for your support and I know you are going to be just fine. My best wishes to you!
