Faint blue line = Pregnant?

[Kisha]

Hello,

Here are my symptoms:

1. Felt possibly implantation a week to two weeks ago (a few days after an oops session with hubby) cramping from inside the uterine wall. Which was very prominent and fairly painful.
2. Over a week+ of tender breasts which isn't subsiding.
3. Delay between last menstrual cycle is about 36 days now.
4. Slight cramping,(or fullness feeling) but nothing like I have just before I start a cycle.
5. Feel like I am widening even though I am on a strict diet.
6. Feel like I am retaining water.
7. 3 or 4 days ago I took a "Clear Blue Easy" PG test. Negotive.
8. Today around 3am I got up and took a test. Very faint blue line appeared. So faint I wasn't sure I was really seeing it. The line has not gone away. And everyone I've showed the test too, see's it too. So I'm not crazy!

I think it warrants a visit to the DR. HAHA I hope it's true!

Once the time has passed, the user should inspect the "result window." If a line or plus symbol appears, you are pregnant. It does not matter how faint the line is. A line, whether bold or faint, means the result is positive. New digital tests show the words “pregnant” or “not pregnant.”

PS Last symptom I forgot to mention. Usually during the week previous to starting my period I get at least one zit. Nothing, clear as a bell. Well accept for my normal and regular daily sink holes. hehe

It sounds as if a visit to the doctor to check it out is in order! Good luck.

It's not recommended that you try to lose weight while you're pregnant, so it would be a good idea to read the maintenance section of whichever book you have, and gradually increase your carbs until they're somewhere around the same level as your protein requirement (as a rule of thumb). I've not actually seen evidence that lower carb levels in themselves are dangerous, but it's much better to be on the safe side.

best of luck!!
in my second pregnancy i only ever got a faint blue line. ( 14 weeks in i miscarried)
my sister in law got persistent 'not pregnant' results - but her doctor confirmed her pregnancy and in due course she gave birth to a healthy baby.

the doctor will be able to tell you

When my wife was pregnant I emailed Dr. Mike. His suggestion was to move carbs to maintanence levels but at a much quicker rate (move them up a little each day instead of each week).

She followed that advice for a while. Then she started overdoing the carbs except they had no effect. Then she went crazy on the carbs. She didn't gain anything until close to the very end. Post-baby however she still had a bunch of baby weight and 14 months later she's still struggling to get back to her pre-baby weight.

There's adding some carbs back in and then there's overdosing on carbs. It also makes a difference what kind you're adding. Is there some nutritional value or are you just eating sugar?

Ya since my diabetes is far advanced... and during pregnancy it's even worse. I may have to be slightly below maintaining level. Gosh even tonight, had a couple of bites of my daughters sandwich and munched a couple of fry's... I might as well been eating pure sugar instead.

PS the blood test was positive.
