Ok, so here's my deal. My cycle is irregular. Which makes planning to make a baby more difficult, because I can never precisely count when ovulation will be. Sometimes it's 27 days long, sometimes 33. Annoying.
So On Tuesday I was at day 29, no symptoms of a period, took a test. I THINK it was negative, (but now I'm second guessing myself).
Here I am on Friday, NO period, NO cramps, bloating or other PMS symptoms, and waking up annoyed because if I'm going to get my period let me just get it and get it over with and move on to the next cycle!!
So this morning, I have one test left, an e.p.t., and I take it...and I THINK it's positive and I'm freaking out!!!!!!!!! But it's not a very STRONG positive, it's kind of faint over all (it's a +/- test), but I swear it's there.
So I need help interpreting, and like the nerd I am, I took a pic and here it is. If you can see it, let me know what you think!!

Ginger if there is even the slightest line on it then you have the HCG hormone in you and are probably pregnant. My last pregnancy/miscarriage I has a very faint line. But it was there. This looks like something is there. I would buy some more tests and do one tomorrow and again on Sunday. They should get darker and then I would call your OBGYN on Monday!!

When my friend became pregnant for her little girl...she came barging through my back door (my husband was building our deck at the time and she knew that back door would be open) into my kithen waving her ept stick around shouting "I'm pregnant....I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I was happy and jumping around the kitchen with her, we were both crying as she had had fertility issues and then it occured to me "you peed on that thing and you're waving it around in my kitchen!" When I told her what I was thinking, we both sat down on the floor and laughed hysterically for a good long time!

It says on the pamphlet that even if you can BARELY see it at all, that it's positive. You better go get a blood test done to make sure, but the way I'm looking at it.....it's very positive!!

Girlfriend, I'm an EXPERT on epts and that is definitely a POSITIVE!!!!!!!!! Don't worry about it not being very dark, thats ok. Don't torture yourself with repeating tests over and over to see if they get darker, it doesn't work that way with epts! Call your dr!!! Get a blood test and a hcg level and CELEBRATE because you are pregnant!!!! Waahooo!!!!

Looks like it to me  !! You could always buy a different brand. Some detect the hcg hormone sooner than others.

I am TOTALLY freaking out, cause sure I've been hoping, but trying to be realistic, and here I am home by myself all day and just in a total daze! I haven't even eaten yet (great huh?).
I think what I'll do is take another test tomorrow, and then Sunday, and if I get positives, I'll call the doctor monday.
I'm not telling ANYONE here (except my husband, and I may wait till tomorrow cause why should we both be disappointed?), until it's been a while. I'm still trying to be realistic about everything.
YIKES!!!!!!!!
