Not so sure i'm pregnant...

Ok so the pregnancy test i just did had the faintest pink line, so i did another and it has a faint line too!!! so i am assuming i am pregnant, but at the same time i am wondering if maybe i am not, has anyone ever experience this before? really faint lines, it is 3 days before my missed period but i always test before period and this has never happened, any ideas

Thanks

Yep, had it happen all 3 pregnancies! Test with your first pee in the morning and it should be brighter. Then call your midwife or doctor so they can blood test you and they can find out what your levels are at. I had to take progesterone supplements with all 3 because my progesterone levels were too low. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

test with your forst morning pee and see if it is darker. you could still be very early, thats why its faint. my early tests(1-about 12 dpo) are always faint. also what test dod you use? many out there detect higher levels of hormone so may be fainter than others.

Congrats!

To answer your question about working until term. I am thinking that I will take clients until the end of the year, since I am due in Feb. I don't think I would want to work with the chance that I could go into labor myself.
