Help!  I am new.

I did a Boots pregnancy test on Friday about 5.30 becausee of all symptoms of pregnancy even though I am on the pill and I got a faint positive - husband thought I was seeing things.  So I then did another Boots test in the morning and it was negative so I then did a Clearblue and it was negative.  I haven't slept all night because of severe nausea and sweating so did a test this morning and still negative - yet I feel so so sick and faint and have done all week with it getting worse. 

Is there a chance I am pregnant but just too early to get a positive result ?  But then why did I get a positive in the evening even if it was faint?  Help

The feint positive might have been an evaporation line.  If you read it slightly over the time.  Also if you hold most tests up to the light then you will see a feint line where the anitbodie strip is.  If you are on the pill and haven't missed any, haven't been ill and haven't been on antibiotics or taken any other medication that could affect the pill like St Johns Wart then you are probably not pregnant.  If you are still feeling ill tomorrow I would go to your gp and see what they say.

Some brands of test are worse for fient lines especially blue dye +/- type tests.
