Using the pee of all pees I tested using my generic Rite Aid Brad test.

The geneneral rule about testing is that "a line is a line". So if you see a faint positive line -- it's a positive.

Here is the science behind that:

Pregnancy tests measure the amount of hCG in your system. hCG is the hormone that is released after the egg is fertilized and implanted. The more pregnant you are the higher your hCG is. So if you take a test 1 day after your missed period -- you get a faint line because there is very little hCG in your body. If you take a test 10 days after your period -- the positive line is probably screaming at you.

That morning I thought I saw a faint line but it was SO FAINT that I was squinting and holding under the light. So faint it looked like a hologram - one minute it was there and then next it was gone! So I tossed it and moved on to work.

At 10am that morning I broke down and went to CVS to buy a brand name test. I bought an e.p.t. pack that came with 2 regular tests and one digital. The digital being the God of all tests.

I went straight to Holly's house and pee'd on the stick. I got a faint line. Faint.

That night at home I shared with Eric my confusion. We agreed that Tuesdays first morning urine was going to be it. He would be there. We'd analyze the results together and take it from there. I was still doubtful.
