I am one day late and tested and got a very faint line. I could barely see it, but it was there. I kept looking at it trying to decide if it was there or not and felt like my mind was playing tricks on me. Has anyone had this happen when testing at one day late? With my previous 4 pregnancies, I don't remember this happening, but maybe I tested later. I did have a lighter line with one of my m/c. I am very confused and don't want to get excited over nothing. If it is positive, then I am thrilled, but scared to death after 5 years of trying and 2m/c. I also took Clomid this round and am wondering if it could alter the pregnancy test. I know I need to wait and test again, but I just needed to share my thoughts with someone. Thanks for listening.

Well there is a good chance! I would wait and test in a couple days, I had a faint line that looked like nothing on sunday and I tested yesterday and it was a BFP so just wait and test again, I know myself first hand how hard it is to wait!!

If you are 1 day late then the Clomid should have been out of your system a while ago. I would say that it is a BFP. Test again in a couple days to see if it is darker but I bet it will be! Congrats!!!!!

If its faint then its positive the only way to get a positive line is for HCG to be in your system which is usually only produced in pregnant women. Every time I've ever tested its always been faint. Clomid wouldnt affect it the only thing that would affect it is if you had to take a HCG shot with the clomid. So I would say its positive it should get darker if you test in a few days. Good luck ~monica

I know how your feeling, I got a very faint line with 2 tests from first response and took a digital the next day and got a neg. followed by AF 4 days later. I hope it is a positive for you and all of us here understand this roller coaster ride:(

Thanks everyone. I tested again this morning and NO line, but I still haven't started and I am usually very regular. This is all so confusing. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers.

If the line is faint, yet the proper color- (most tests are PINK)- yes you are pregnant. I even showed the test to my husband, he didn't think there was really a line there.

I went through the same thing you did, only I tested a few days before my period. Few days later I got a digital and it said 'pregnant'.

But two days after the miscarriage bleeding started, the tests had NO second line at all.
