Wife and I are trying to get pregnant. This came up like this at 5 am. We took another one (first response early detection) at around 3 pm but it came negative. Just confused and a little bummed out.
Can mods create an auto mod that just replies with this link on any pregnancy test posts? I swear to God the only things I'm getting in my feed from this sub are these pregnancy tests anymore. And as somebody who chose sterilization because pregnancy was a traumatic experience for me that I never want to experience again it's anywhere from inconvenient to annoying to upsetting at times. Maybe include something about magnets in the auto mod because those are actually confusing.
I made a comment similar the other day. I've had two miscarriages and still no child and the last thing i want too see is constant positive pregnancy tests.
Early in pregnancy tests are more accurate in the morning because of the concentration of HCG (the pregnancy hormone) so it’s not uncommon to test positive in the morning but be negative in the afternoon when it’s still super early. A positive is a positive and false positives are super rare compared to false negatives so congrats!
First pee of the day has a higher concentration of HCG - a.k.a. what a pregnancy test measures. Test again first thing tomorrow morning. Her eggo is looking preggo.
Yes the picture I posted was from morning pee at 5 am. The second test which I did not post a picture of came negative which we took at 3 pm. Now we know morning pee is best. Thank you
A tip for tomorrow morning, get your wife to pee into a cup or something then you can test multiple strips at the same time. False positives are rare but I personally have had one with these kind of cheap tests so for peace of mind I like to test a few at a time to confirm!
When the pregnancy is very new and the line is faint, testing in the afternoon might not get an accurate result because pee will be more dilute than first thing in the morning. Only test with morning pee! Test again tomorrow morning.
It’s always best to test with first morning pee (it’s the most concentrated and can detect better).
Unless that’s an evap line I’d say it’s def positive! And to have her test tomorrow morning again too
As someone who went through infertility, I KNOW how to read a pregnancy test. Your wife is pregnant! A line is a line no matter how faint. You can be cautiously excited and keep taking tests to see the line get darker. AM pee is more concentrated so you'll get the best line with the first pee of the day.
Try first thing in the morning. That’s what told me. And the dollar store one worked great (fyi). Thought I was being cheap and it would get it wrong. Nope. Was accurate. First thing in the morning.
First pee of the day is concentrated, never bother with an afternoon pee unless it's a strong positive in the AM.
If my years of TTC (with my now almost 6 year old!!!!) and reading lines are any cred, that looks to me like a good indication of an early positive.
All the sticky baby dust wishes to you and your wife! Remember, no matter the tests, it's all in the air until you have the ultrasound. My mom never once got a positive on her tests, and yet here I am having made her a grandma.
That is a very light line, which is still positive. However, that chemical builds up over night, so it may just not be enough at the end of the day to test positive again. Try again tomorrow morning or after she holds her urine for about 3 hours.
Test looks valid. HCG levels fluctuate throughout the day, especially if urinating often. Tests also have different hcg thresholds, so they may not darken at the same rate. I suggest testing in a couple days to confirm, or to get a quantitative beta draw.
First morning urine is more concentrated. I would say it is positive. I found out I was pregnant withy daughter around 3-4 weeks. The lines were very faint.
HCG doubles and I would take a break and retest in a few days. As long as it is within the correct time frame, it's very accurate.
I’m not an expert, just a lady who tried for a while before getting pregnant. This looks positive to me. Usually hcg is highest in the morning which is why tests are taken with the first morning pee. Depending on when your wife ovulated and how much water she drank today, the afternoon pee might not have enough hcg to get picked up. This could also be a faulty test since these strip tests are usually cheaper and sold in big batches. I’d suggest she takes an early response test tomorrow morning for more accurate results.
Usually early on you want to test first thing in the AM when the hormones are the highest. A faint line is usually a sign it is positive. Test again in the morning tomorrow or in a few days.
That’s positive. First pee of the day is more concentrated. It’s common to test positive on the first pee of the day and not later in the day. Have her take another test tomorrow morning first pee of the day again.
This may sound dumb but the picture of the morning test, was picture taken in the morning? The lines can fill in if sitting around all day. Looks pretty positive to me
We’ve been trying for a baby and this is the first time a test came out like this so I wanted some opinions. We just don’t want to get our hopes up just to have them brought down.
She’s pregnant it’s just super early and her pee became diluted throughout the day it’ll get darker even when taken at different times of the day as the days go on
First morning urine is always the highest concentration of HCG. It it was positive at 5:00 am, it’s positive. She can always retest with first urine tomorrow if you want to confirm.
Wanted to come here and say that if she is taking any supplements with biotin it will make the first response come out negative!! First response specifically has a reaction with biotin and it will make the test appear negative
You’re pregnant 😂 your hgc levels aren’t gonna make it appear as pink if you’re testing early! I wish I could tag my own test here so you can tell the difference 🤷🏽♀️ because I always test early now I found out a 3 weeks I was pregnant (I have 2 kids so this will be my 3rd)
So I will say I used tests exactly like this caus they were cheeper for bulk and had so many false positives on these it wasn’t even funny. With this pregnancy I had an inkling I was but wasn’t hopeful and I tested at around 530pm with one and a VERY faint line like is this a line type of line popped up within time frame. I wanted to be hopeful I was only 9dpo so it was up in the air I used clear blue first response with first urine next day and immediately darker lines. I would honestly suggest a pink dye test and pee again in the morning! I wish you both the best of luck. ❤️
It looks weird to me… I don’t know what an evaporation line looks like, but it might be this. The line has very little color despite not being very very faint.
As others have said, test again tomorrow morning. Good luck 🤞

Yes, your first pee is what the tests always recommended.

My pregmate tests looked exactly like this and my 3 week old is sleeping in his bassinet next to me
Pregmate is such a good word… thanks
Its a brand of pregnancy tests lol, I used to own a bulk of them cause I was terrified of having another kid
It’s the brand of test OP posted 😉
Same!! Except mine fell asleep while being held.
A tip for tomorrow morning, get your wife to pee into a cup or something then you can test multiple strips at the same time. False positives are rare but I personally have had one with these kind of cheap tests so for peace of mind I like to test a few at a time to confirm!
Looking forward to tomorrow’s pee, really pulling for you!!
i keep seeing these "am I pregnant or not" shady test results, people would be better off with a magic 8 ball. best of luck to you both!
A lot of people don’t realize faint is still very very pos. Like this one is obvious for experience folks.
Exactly. This is a clear as day positive test.
this sub keeps showing up on my front page and i still haven't figured out if it's a meme pregnancy test sub or what
I think it’s become one. God forbid people actually use a pregnancy sub for this garbage.
When the pregnancy is very new and the line is faint, testing in the afternoon might not get an accurate result because pee will be more dilute than first thing in the morning. Only test with morning pee! Test again tomorrow morning.
Wait 3 days, and respect with the FIRST pee in the morning. Do not drink a bunch of water to try to make yourself pee, it will dilute your urine.
It’s always best to test with first morning pee (it’s the most concentrated and can detect better). Unless that’s an evap line I’d say it’s def positive! And to have her test tomorrow morning again too
As someone who went through infertility, I KNOW how to read a pregnancy test. Your wife is pregnant! A line is a line no matter how faint.

Did you purposefully cover up the code with the stick?
Looks like testicular cancer. Next time check her pee.
We will make sure her doctor takes a good look at her testicals!
Try first thing in the morning. That’s what told me. And the dollar store one worked great (fyi). Thought I was being cheap and it would get it wrong. Nope. Was accurate. First thing in the morning.

No need to hold urine. Just use your first pee when you wake up in the morning.
there’s no color. it’s more likely an evap line
That tests looks like it’s invalid. However, taking a test in the middle of the afternoon is not going to be accurate early in pregnancy.
In what world is this invalid ☠️
The real world 😂☠️
Invalid how? It’s positive.
It’s grey and dry. That’s an invalid test. The line is also broken, which again makes it invalid.
Def def positive. These tests are more reliable than first response
Test looks valid. HCG levels fluctuate throughout the day, especially if urinating often. Tests also have different hcg thresholds, so they may not darken at the same rate. I suggest testing in a couple days to confirm, or to get a quantitative beta draw.
I'm seeing two lines. If in doubt, a blood test might help.
this looks like an evap line. test again
Not at all what an evaporation line looks like in my experience. It’s positive.
this looks like every evap line i’ve ever had on a strip test. there’s no color.
First morning urine is more concentrated. I would say it is positive. I found out I was pregnant withy daughter around 3-4 weeks. The lines were very faint.
HCG doubles and I would take a break and retest in a few days. As long as it is within the correct time frame, it's very accurate.
Congrats!
Positive is a positive
I’m not an expert, just a lady who tried for a while before getting pregnant. This looks positive to me. Usually hcg is highest in the morning which is why tests are taken with the first morning pee. Depending on when your wife ovulated and how much water she drank today, the afternoon pee might not have enough hcg to get picked up.

Usually early on you want to test first thing in the AM when the hormones are the highest. A faint line is usually a sign it is positive. Test again in the morning tomorrow or in a few days.
When you say “we” took another one, you’re not using your pee are you?
That's not an evap line that's a positive pregnancy test
It would help us to see what the examples are for pregnant or not pregnant instead of covering it with the stick
Definitely pregnant
She's pregnant it's just very early.
That’s positive. First pee of the day is more concentrated. It’s common to test positive on the first pee of the day and not later in the day. Have her take another test tomorrow morning first pee of the day again.
Is this a prank? You covered the reading instructions with the pee covered stick.
I assume you are tracking with a fertility program. Have you seen a fertility specialist?
This may sound dumb but the picture of the morning test, was picture taken in the morning? The lines can fill in if sitting around all day. Looks pretty positive to me
Morning pee is much more concentrated, also these tests can vary a little in sensitivity. That’s positive, take it as such!
Help with what? An adoption agency recommendation? The nearest clinic which does that thing which rhymes with schmoschmortion?
When you blow up the pic, it looks more like the test was bent than it does an evap line. There's a little tear and an indentation.
I'd wait a few days and take another one - preferably with the first morning pee.
Positive
Not pregnant
There's two lines if two lines means positive then your positive
It's not your pee. It's her pee. Normally, the first pee in the morning (at her habitual wake.time) is the best one for the tes.
She’s definitely pregnant. My test that looked like this is turning 7 this winter 🤣
She's pregnant
Pregs
I was 18 days past ovulation before I even got a faint line. And I knew when I ovulated.
This is looking positive to me.
Go grab a digital and have her use first pee of the day
Congrats
You should use the first pee of the day, when its early in the pregnancy. If you have 1 positive, I would assume someone is pregnant.
Yess that’s a yes! Retest first thing in the morning!
Do you need help raising a child? Unless you looked at this test 15 minutes after you should’ve…. You have a baby!!
We’ve been trying for a baby and this is the first time a test came out like this so I wanted some opinions. We just don’t want to get our hopes up just to have them brought down.
She’s pregnant it’s just super early and her pee became diluted throughout the day it’ll get darker even when taken at different times of the day as the days go on
Someone once told me you can get a false negative with a pregnancy test, but you rarely ever ever get a false positive. Congrats!!!
Go with the first one. And make a doctor appointment
Sorry, I don't see a line. I see a fold in the test.
First morning urine is always the highest concentration of HCG. It it was positive at 5:00 am, it’s positive. She can always retest with first urine tomorrow if you want to confirm.
I've never taken one like this and the instructions are covered up, so idfk. 🙄
I was confused since I thought this was the Idaho potato Reddit asking about a pregnancy test. Potatoes don’t get pregnant….
This looks like an evaporation line to me - keep testing, first pee of the morning is your best bet
Wanted to come here and say that if she is taking any supplements with biotin it will make the first response come out negative!! First response specifically has a reaction with biotin and it will make the test appear negative
You’re pregnant 😂 your hgc levels aren’t gonna make it appear as pink if you’re testing early! I wish I could tag my own test here so you can tell the difference 🤷🏽♀️ because I always test early now I found out a 3 weeks I was pregnant (I have 2 kids so this will be my 3rd)
I’m not ready for this responsibility
So I will say I used tests exactly like this caus they were cheeper for bulk and had so many false positives on these it wasn’t even funny. With this pregnancy I had an inkling I was but wasn’t hopeful and I tested at around 530pm with one and a VERY faint line like is this a line type of line popped up within time frame.

Congratulations 🎉

As others have said, test again tomorrow morning. Good luck 🤞
100% positive, not even close. Congrats or I’m sorry you’re going through that.
Looks like you’re pregnant! (Hope this is a happy thing!)
Just fuck again? Why you bummed out? lol
If it really is an issue there’s doctors.
