Taking a photo of your HPT and then tweaking the contrast to bring out any hidden lines. Has anyone done this or would like to be my experiment Smile

For when you get a line so faint, that you're not sure if it's even there, tweaking the contrast would bring it out. I wondered if anyone had heard of it or done it..

Wait a couple of days then re test?

Other than that I can't do any better than eh... Why?

Errrr WHAT!? I'm all for trying to get a BFP at the moment but I don't think faking the test in a photograph is the way to go!?

I think if the line is SO faint you can't actually be sure there's a line, you're much better off waiting another 24 hours than torturing yourself trying to manipulate the photo.

I don't think the OP means that she would fake a BFP on a test; on my pinkpad period tracker app I've seen people take pics of their HPT and invert the colours or something so that the test line shows up more clearly (and so, ay ++ line shows up clearer too)

There is a website that will do it for you: www.canyouseealine.com/

I kind of get she doesn't want to completely fake it, but just wait another day or two and test again for goodness sake.

A bit of clever computer wizardry isn't going to convince you until you can actually see the line with your naked eye, surely!?!

Wow, I didn't know there was a website for it. Clearly I'm not the only one!
