i took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. i checked it again in the morning and it had a really light positive line. does this mean that i'm pregnant?
 
I would take another in a couple days. When i was pregnant with my first the postive line was sooooooo faint that we thought it was neg and threw it out ....when i still hadnt got my period we took another and it was a stronger positive but still very faint.......... it could be you JUST got pregnant so your hormone level is very low and the test barely picked it up.

so take another :)

the test that told us my son was here is 2 years old and still says positive ( yea we kept everything even his umbilical cord ewww lol )
 
No, see sometimes when you take one it can warp and show you're positive or negative. Always check within 10 minutes. Also make sure you did it right! Hope this helps!
 
nope it don't. It says on the box don't try to interpret after 10 minutes. If the test showed negative in the first couple of minutes, then that's what it is.
 
You should discard the reading after 10 mins, if your worried just do another test.
 
no, if you leave a test more than ten minutes it is highly nureliable, tests go off quickly and the 2 lines appear- do not use this test, if in doubt take another test
 
nope! test again, make sure its after your missed period. they're not good after ten minutes. good luck
