Ok you need to go buy another test. They have them where you can buy two together. take one totaoy and take the other next week. if they both say thjat you are then go to an doctors office andd get one. untill then relax. and think about what you are going to do if you are. I hope this helps you in same way. goodluck.

Jaja, if there was a second blue line, even if it was faint - it sounds like you might be pregnant. I would take another home pregnancy test in the next few days - First Response worked best for me. If the results are unclear again you might contact the doctor and have a blood test done. It can detect smaller levels of the HCG hormone. Best wishes. Kate

hey take another in 1week or 2

You need to realize that you are having a lot of early pregnancy symptoms. If you look at the instructions on the digital pregnancy test it would say to disregard any lines on the test stick and only to go by what the digital read-out. (My digital said I was pregnant and there were also two lines, so I'm not sure what to say about that.) Anyway, most tests say that you can take them the day of or the day after your missed period but other ones like First Response can be used up to five days before your missed period. I would get one of those tests (they detect less of the pregnancy hormone.) And let us know what you find out. Good luck!

Ok, well, you should wait until about 5 days after your missed period to get an accurate result on a pregnancy test. I waited until 2 weeks after I missed my period because I figured it was late just because of stress, which can happen. As for the nausea, headaches, cramping, and backaches - all of this could be in your head. A lot of women can be late on their periods even if they have normal cycles. Try to relax and not psych yourself out. I'd suggest taking a Clear Blue digital read out test. They come with two in a box and they are the most accurate. If that test is negative, then wait another week and see if your period comes. But definitely don't get yourself too worried over it because it could be a bunch of different things. However, you should sustain from smoking, drinking or anything else you do that could harm the baby - if there is one. The first few weeks of life are crutial. Good luck!<br><br>Post edited by: Julie, at: 2005/09/20 01:29
