my son's test has come up twice now with one very, very faint lower line. If I can barely see it, is it still a line?

The tests work like this. Each drug has a certain amount of " landing sites " in which dyed antibodies bond to the drug metabolite. Thc has the lowest cutoff (50ng/ml) so that means less dye therefore a NEGATIVE thc test can and mostly will yield a faint line. If you notice the pcp line ( if you purchase the multi drug screen ) has a cutoff of 300ng/ml there fore a negative result for pcp would be a very dark vibrant line. Long story short, if you can see any type of line , no matter how faint, it is considered a negative result.

Yes it is still a line. A line means negative even it is very faint. I sound so confident because I have used these for quite a while. And a lot of research has taught me, a faint line or a bright line. A line is a line.

Consider it as. he stopped smoking but maybe around people who smoke. my lawyer told me in some cases his clients have failed just because its a test where you either pass or fail and it doesn't discriminate if its 2nd hand or not.. my advice is smile hug your son and buy him a nice icecream Sunday :) (if its weed, other than that keep hitting him) xD

I had a faint line one morning with this test- got quant hcg the same day, and it was only 5.7. I also got a light line the day before a quant hcg of 11.

I remember something in the instructions about that. Believe it means the test is malfunctioning. There was a sort of reset option, but if it's been going on for 9 days, sounds like the tester is defunct. Time to swap out for a new one!

The obvious answer would seem to be yes. Several factors can fade the line, such as drinking to much water or any large amounts of fulids. I can tell you this for sure. I have used many of these tests over the years and if the NEAGATIVE LINE SHOWS AT ALL YOU WILL PASS ANY URINE ANALYSIS. A faded negative line means you are clean. My employer does random UA's and I have passed everytime using these test strips. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I think you should return it. Mine does not have a line. I would definitely get another one though.

If I am not mistaken I believe I recall reading that it is supposed to tell you if both are the same gender-however, if they are not - then you might get the boy result if at least one is a boy (not sure how helpful this is!)...best of luck. This test was not accurate for me, but perhaps you will have better results.

well I had multiple tests and if you see even a faint line it's supposed to mean you fall below the threshold but as time progresses you will see the line get dark and instead of "thinking" you see something, you definately will see a dark bolder line. Be warned though it will never be the same depth of color as the other line. Even someone clean for years still has a dark control and a lighter negative line. I just took it as getting close but no dice and gave it a few more days and got the easy to see clean line.

Hi Alexandra-When you pull the test strip out of the package just dip it into the cup for 3 seconds. The stick should be turning a light purple color. If you have 2 lines it means its positive. If you have one line then it is negative. You said you had no lines so that means the test was inconclusive. I would try again. You might have gotten a bad stick. As for the cups, I just bought a pack of 100 cheap disposable cups for $15-$18. I hope this helps & if you have any other questions just let me know.

Faint is still positive. I got a faint line even with high hcg levels. Congrats!

I thinking were very faint all along, until ovulation when it was obvious that the line was much darker. I tested during the day, rather than in the morning so I wouldn't miss it. Good luck!

I read from the reviews that it's 10 but I really don't know. I know it detected very faintly at around 3 weeks pregnant. I used a pack of these and a pack of clear blue and both tested positive on the same day. I was testing every day for about a week up to finding out. No false positives or negatives. Clear blue was quite a bit darker though. The line on this was very faint.

2 lines positive... 1 line negativeT= test line. C= control lineIf you get one line wether its T or C line then it's negative.. Re-test in 2 weeks

This looks a bit different than the one i received. If you have only one line on C it clearly shows you have (cotinine) aka nicotine in your system. If both lines are dark shows that you are nicotine free.

It is very faint and hard to see. What we've done is take a magic marker and draw a line across the opaque stripe on the front and back. It makes filling pretty easy.

Has it stayed pink? When I had my faulse positives the line went from pink for about a minute then to just a white line. Maybe my tests were defective. But even if its faint chances are you are pregnant. Congrats :)

I sent the one I had purchased for my husband back for a refund. It read noticeable higher than the one at our doctor's office.
