Pregnancy tests are IMPORTANT, as a mom to 3 (with 3 years of infertility on my last baby) I totally get that. But, what do you do if the results really don’t feel “clear”?
This is a skim of the full article here.
The author, a nurse with extensive knowledge on pregnancy tests and hormones, reassures readers that false positive tests are rare and that a faint line, even if barely visible, is likely a positive result. She also suggests having others look at the test to avoid seeing a line that isn't there due to hope or fear influencing perception. The article provides helpful tips on why a line may be faint, when to take a test, and the effectiveness of different pregnancy test brands. The author recommends waiting a few days and occupying oneself with enjoyable activities before taking another test for a clearer result.
1. Faint lines on pregnancy tests are often positive results, as false positives are rare.
2. Other people should look at the test to avoid seeing a line that isn't actually there due to hope or fear.
3. The author recommends taking a test a couple of days after your expected period and suggests using a dollar store pregnancy test as they are just as effective as more expensive brands.
