Am I Pregnant?


Question Posted Friday September 5 2008, 2:21 am

I havent had my period for 2 months, I usually get it every month on the 25th. A month ago I had light bleeding(not my period, I know for sure) and I vomited 1 time, but after that I got no other symptoms, they just went away. I've taken at least 4 Crystal Clear pregnancy tests and they've been coming up with a very faint line and Im not sure if it's positive or an Evap line.
People keep telling me to try the ClearBlue Digital test but others say they give one result on one day and a different result the next day then someone told me that the First Response pregnancy test is the best one out there. I don't know which one to use. My boyfriend and I agreed to take 2 more home tests and then get a Blood test. I've been told that any line, even a faint one, means Positive but I have no symptoms except light abdominal pain. No vomiting, no sore breasts...Im confused, Which home test is more accurate?

Ok.. I believe you should take the ClearBlue test. It usually comes with 2 in there for about $10 and it isn't always changing when you use it. It should stay the same if your for sure pregnant. Take one one day and then take another one 3 days later. This will tell you digitally if your pregnant or not. They're very accurate. Now, if you are pregnant, you may be one of the lucky ones that don't have symptons even when you hit 5 months pregnant. Everybody is different. And you may be lucky enough to where you don't even show at 5 months. There are some people that don't put on the weight until later..later on. But, I would take that test and it should give you the accurate answer.. Good Luck!!!

Some home pregnancy tests are better than others, obviously. According to a couple of studies done, First Response and Early Result Pregnancy Test are the two best kinds to purchase because they are slightly more sensitive than the others.

I suppose you can find either of these at your local pharmacy or Wal-mart for a reasonable price.

Your best bet for an accurate pregnancy test is to have a blood test done at your clinic.

There are many reasons why the line may be light. Your body may not have produced enough hCG yet (the hormone pregnant women produce). It could be that you have a tubal pregnancy, which could prove very troublesome. It could be that you're simply not pregnant or that you're waiting too long to view the test.

Anyway, I think you definately should pick up the couple of home pregnancy tests I have mentioned. You should also have a clinic test you to make sure everything is alright with your body anyway. Even if you're not pregnant, missing two periods is not normal and could be a sign of some underlying health problems.

Sometimes women do not have any "symptoms" of being pregnant. Some women have a lot of the "symptoms" when they are pregnant. I have gathered that sometimes the "symptoms" are actually a sign of bad things--my sister was violently ill with a baby she miscarried, my mother had horrible acid pain when pregnant with my brother who has some mental disabilities, my mother was ill when she was pregnant with babies she miscarried, etc. Of course, I'm not saying every women who has morning sickness has an unwell baby--I'm just saying that if things get out of control then that could be a sign that something is wrong with said baby. SO, my point it, not everyone has sore breasts, morning sickness, fatigue, etc. :)

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

P.S. Home pregnancy tests can show false-negatives, meaning you are pregnant but it keeps saying false. I had a friend that took these tests throughout her ENTIRE pregnancy and it always showed false ;) even 9 months into it.
There is no such thing as a false-positive for home pregnancy tests. If it shows positive, you're positively pregnant :) even if it's just a faint line of a "positive" reading.

All the home tests are about the same.
They're all pretty accurate if done correctly.

You can be pregnant with no symptoms but
a missed period. What I suggest is just
stop wasting money on the home tests.
Go get a blood test so you know for sure.
You can get one for little, if anything,
at you local health department.
