What Does A Faint Line On A Pregnancy Kit Indicate?
Question: hello,
I took a pregnancy test it was negative as have all the other test I have taken over the last three months. However it was an first signal walmart brand test. Hours later I saw it in the trash and it had an very faint positive line. The box said do not read after 10 minutes. I have seen three doctors, taken many blood test and had 2 ultrasounds all negative. Could the test turn positive after the ten minute time period? If so why would this happen? I'm really scared, and no longer able to rationalize things I would really appreciate a full explanation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Yes! In my opinion you are not pregnant, the faint positive line is false positive pregnancy test, which may occur in some cases.
This faint line is called evaporation line which occurs due to urine become dry in pregnancy kit that's why it is suggested not to see result after 10 min.
So please do not worry!
Do not consult any doctor.
Believe me you are not pregnant.
