Is This a Positive Pregnancy Test?

I'm thinking it is, just very early. But i want some second opinions, maybe my judgement is clouded. My period is not due for another 2 days but I got anxious and decided to try a dollar store test. The faint line didn't show right away but towards the end of the 3 min waiting time. So what do you think, could it be an evaporation line? I'm planning to test again in a couple more days to see if it gets darker. Has anyone ever had a faint positive before their period is due?? With my other 2 i only tested after my period was late and the lines came back really dark. Sorry if this is one of those 'could I be pregnant' questions but I want to make sure I'm not seeing things. The link to the pic is in the SWH below, hope it works.

What can I do next?

Thanks so much!! Glad everyone else saw the line too:) I didn't want to tell my husband and have him be all excited over possibly nothing!

Yup, I totally think you're preggers! Congrats! Since it's late in the day that could be the reason for such a faint line, I think it might be darker if you do it earlier when the hormones are stronger.

That's what mine looked like ALL THREE TIMES because I was too impatient to wait until after my period was due... I was always testing a few days before. :) I'd say congratulations are in order !

I think you are pregnant. Start taking pregnancy vitamins with folic acid in them NOW. They help prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida and some forms of cleft palates.

Congrats!

Congrats! You're pregnant!

(Having been a surro, I tested for the first time 6 days after the transfer each time. Those were the kinds of lines I'd get when I was pregnant.)

Sounds positive to me - my first was that way, actually my first was even fainter than yours. I had to hold it up to the light and squint to see the line LOL

BTW - I have been reading a bit about problems with taking folic acid in your prenatal vitamins unless it's a food based folate. "Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that is found in supplements and added to fortified foods [1]." http://ods.od.nih.gov

Of course do your own research but I wanted to mention it.

I wouldn't even classify that as a faint line. That's a definitive line. I've had tests that were MUCH MUCH fainter, like had to squint to make sure it was there, and they were positive.
