Icon5 What does a *faint* line mean??

I took a Target knock-off of FRER this morning. I got a very faint line. After a few hours that faint line seems to have disappeared (saw it within 2 minutes by the way). Is it faint b/c my HCG is low, or is it how much dye is in the test, or could it be a false +? I had DH go out and buy the 'real' FRER for another day.

Good luck to you!

I dont think the line disappeared just probably was ecentuated by the HCG that was in your urine. I always get the knock offs they are just as effective. I would try again.. here are samples of faint lines

I hope it's the real deal!!!

My suggestion-- have dh look at the expiration dates on the FRER and get the newest one. Believe me, it makes a HUGE difference in the darkness of the line!! I used one that exp 8/08 and one that exp 9/09 on the same day and the 8/08 was almost negative and the 9/09 was dark and pretty!!

Good luck!!

If the line came up withing 2 minutes than a faint line means that you are pregnant!
