Hi Archie
My peroid was due on the 25th of may but it did not come yet.i usually have light stomact cramps form one week before the due date..but i dont feel that way is there any chance that i conceived...i have done the home pregnancy test yesterday and could see on onle line which indicates -ve..but later on i am able to see another line in the test window very lightly..is the normal or does that indicate its +ve..
Not really worried abt it but still wanted to make sure..


Thanks in Advance

archie replied. Dear Mom,
In fact the story could go either way with what I read in your post.

There is a little bit information lacking to best judge the post and the lacking information is as below:
What test did you use?
The EPT, clear Blue, First response or some pharmacy brand?
Did you follow instructions carefully?
Usually test should be taken with first morning urine when you are around the expected period date. If you are testing a week or 10 days post period date then you may test anytime of the day.
The test should be read within suggested time period, for example the EPT and Clearblue results must be read within 3 minutes from dipping stick in urine or urinating on the strip.

Any lines seen after 3 minutes are regarded as Evaporation line and that chances of pregnancy are slim.

But if I were to judge your case, I see you could be pregnant. Why don't you repeat test with first morning urine, say tomorrow if period does not show up.

If you are mom and breastfeeding then likely that your cycles are disturbed and is normal.

Even if not breastfeeding one cycle here and there in a year is considered normal.
