Question 1

what does a question mark mean on a first response yes or no pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Not enough Hormone: The test relies on the presence of a pregnasncy hormone to be positive. If ther is a question, then there is not enough hormone to be sure. Wait 1 week, and test a first morning urine specimen, or have a lab do a serum pregnancy test.

Question 2

i used a first response digital pregnancy test and a question mark showed up as a result. why didn't it just show up negative?

Accepted Answer

Need to repeat: There is some HCG but not enough to be diagnostic of pregnancy. Please repeat the test in 4-5 days, unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 6

can you get positives on cheap pregnancy test, and then get negative on first response, what does it mean if you do?

Accepted Answer

Need to repeat: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

Question 7

faint line on first response pregnancy test. if there is two lines and one is faint but there, does that mean pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Even if faint, if there is a second line it means you are pregnant.  I hope congratulations are in order!

Question 8

i got a question mark on a first response pregnancy test bought a new pack one showed another question mark the other went blank after a minute.

Accepted Answer

Pregnant unlikely: Probably not pregnant- wait two weeks and check again.  Must be first of the morning urine

Question 9

i took a pregnancy test this morning and the results came back with 1 bold red line. the test that i took was from 'first response'. does this mean i am pregnant?

Accepted Answer

One : One pink line in the results window indicates a negative test. If one line is bold and the other line is there yet faint, then that's a positive result. If you are unsure retest in the morning as soon as you wake up. If you are still unsure visit your doctor.
Take care.
