Default hpt questions

hi everyone!
well I think I finally got a positive, but I am not sure.
I used the Walgreen's brand tests (didn't like the name brand ones before)
and it says to read results at 3 minutes..well it's a faint line (did it 2
days in a row in the morning) and then at about 5 minutes the line gets
darker....does the extra 2 minutes or so make a difference in the test
results???

thanks for any feedback!

Any line, however faint, that shows up within the
stated time period on the test is a positive. Congratulations!

Best wishes,
Ericka

Faint lines also count as positive, especially when they get darker!
Congrats!!

thanks!
that is what i was hoping for.
it's hard to fully celebrate when the results are either slow to show, or
faint. kinda like it's saying "well maybe you are and maybe you are not"

thanks for the good news!!!

thanks!
i was hoping for something like that!
it's all very surreal still, and with the faint lines, it makes it even more
so.

As the others said, a line's a line! Congrats :-)
I got a very faint line with this one, in fact the first few times I tested
I think I missed it. When I tested a week or two later (when scared I was
m/c) the line was darker.
