Hi bees!
I've been an avid stalker of Hellobee for a few months now. I stumbled upon it in the midst of my baby fever (which will not go away) and became a devoted reader with my first miscarriage. I am so excited to finally be a member of this wonderful site! 
Anywho,
I took an early pregnancy test this morning. It still may be a little early to, but I don't know because we're not charting and my cycle is irregular. In the 2 minute result window, the faintest, almost non-existent line appeared. I'm wondering, is it worth it to wait a week or so and take another test or should I take this with a grain of salt? I really want a baby!

@DeerLily: Do you have a picture? They say a line is a line, no matter how faint. Try testing again tomorrow morning with FMU, you might get a darker result!
-
@mrsdoo I dont!
I tried to take one, but the line is so almost invisible my phone camera couldn't pick it up.
I've been having a ton of symptoms very odd for me, so I hope that's a good sign. Thanks!! -
That's what my test was like with my Lo--barely there. I say test again in a day or two!
-
Congrats! Don't wait a week!! Wait another couple days and use a frer - you should see a nice positive line!
PS Post pics, we love pics!

Clear blue has a pregnant/ not pregnant test that states what you are. I'd get that one and test first thing in the morning.
-
Definitely don't need to wait a week! What kind of test was it? I got a barely there line on a cheapie at the same time as a very clear (though light) one on an FRER.
However I strongly recommend against the digital that was mentioned above. I got a (false) negative the day AFTER a positive with those. They're not as sensitive as good tests, and way more disheartening. Plus, it's more fun to analyze a line.
That being said, I'm 100% with those who say a line is a line. If it was within the window, you're pregnant, congrats!
-
Give it two or three days and try again! The first time I tested I thought I was imagining the line, it was so faint. But three days later I tested again and it was clear! I say a line is a line!
-
@qbbride when I do my next test, I will for sure!
@torchwood It was a rite Aid brand test, womp womp. I wish I could afford the more expensive tests!
@mrs.garland thank God I'm not the only one! I feel like I'm imagining it!
-
@DeerLily: My favorite tests are the dollar store ones. I like that they aren't blue dye tests (which are known for false
.) Best wishes! -
@simplyfelicity
I'll try that next! I was afraid they wouldn't be as reliable. Thanks

Yes I second @simplyfelicity:'s recommendation about dollar store tests! I find them surprisingly sensitive and cheap!!
-
@DeerLily: I had a similar super faint, am I imagining it, line on an Internet cheapie (wondfo) and dollar store test. Dh could see it too so that was the only way I knew I wasn't imagining it. The next morning, I used a first response (ok, and wondfo, and dollar store) and got clear, though light, lines on each.
I think waiting a day or two will be sufficient- and highly recommend getting some dollar store tests! I had a bunch of them, and a two pack of first response to confirm any questionable faint lines. (No, totally wasn't crazy, nope.
)

My test for my LO was so faint I couldn't capture it in a photo. I immediately took a digi after and it said pregnant. Try again tomorrow!

Crap, I accidentally deleted my comment.

@DeerLily: did you retest?
