[HPFGU-OTChatter] a question, for moms or soon-to-be moms

[Jenny H]

Going back more years than I care to admit, to the first time I got
pregnant, I had much the same thing happen at the doctor's office.
The initial test said not pregnant, but another test just two weeks
later was positive. The doctor's explanation - the test measures
is the level of certain hormones in your system. Until these hormones
reach minimum levels, you will test negative. When your body has
produced sufficient hormones, you will test positive. According to
my doctor at the time, you can have a negative reading and it be
wrong, but you cannot get a false positive. It would probably be
a good idea to wait 10 days to 2 weeks and take the test again.

  Hi! This is defiantly OT, but I would really appreciate feedback on  this.

  OK, I just took an EPT certianty pregnancy test, (the kind that says 
  "pregnant" or "not pregnant" in a digital window.) and it said "NOT 
  PREGNANT" however, when I ejected the test strip, there where 2 
  lines.  One was considerably fainter than the other, but still 2  lines.  
  I had a friend who had the same happen to her and she IS pregnant. 
  I had taken one a few months before and there was a "Not Pregnant"
  read out but only 1 line.  Has anyone else heard of this  happening?  
  Should I consider this as pregnant or not pregnant??  

  Thanks!
  Chancie
