Is this a positive?

Had to take the test apart as my phone couldn't focus Hmm I think there's a line there it's just so so faint. Can anyone else see it? I'm only 9dpo and gave in Blush not going to test again until Sunday.

Is this a positive?

I had no idea either until reading these boards then looking closer at them. Taking it out the case doesn’t make it ‘break’ as such but it makes indents clearer so then easier to assume a faint positive. It still may be your month-it so early yet.

Ah that's annoying! Glad I posted otherwise I would of assumed it was just a faint positive, I didn't know about indent lines Smile

@ellxx just to add I can always see the indent line on FRERs too and it drives me mad. The indent is basically just the little niche where the dye would sit if it was BFP. Sadly if there's no colour in that line then it's BFN (from bitter experience Smile)

That looks a lot like the indent I saw on the 2 FRERs I recently had cause to dissect! Sorry - all I can offer is to test again in a few days. Good luck

I could deffo seen a line before opening it, just didn't have a pink tinge to it! Oh well hopefully it gets some colour next time I test Grin

just true, but if it doesn’t look positive before you take it apart then if it suddenly becomes ‘positive’ (I.e. you can see a sort of line) then I think that ‘result’ can pretty much be deemed invalid or inconclusive because it’s likely to be an indent.

I've never heard of indents until now, probably why I just assumed it was positive because I saw a line. Still got some hope as I know how early I am. Thanks for replies Smile

That looks like an indent.

But the whole "tests aren't invalid if you open them" is rubbish.

Once opened a BFP is still a BFP. A BFN wont suddenly become positive because you opened it. And an indent is an indent whether it's in or out the plastic..

Waitingonasmiley42 · 04/09/2018 08:21

They can do. If you are only 9dpo there’s still plenty of time for a BFP. That line is definitely an indent and I can’t see any hint of colour.

Do indents show before the test is taken apart? I've never seen one before on previous tests, surely that could get people's hopes up for nothingConfused

Waitingonasmiley42 · 04/09/2018 07:55

Sorry there’s no colour to the line so it’s negative.

Good luck

So this is in colour. On all faint lines I can't say I've ever seen one pink, not when you have to squint to see it. I suppose only time will tell. I'll update and post on Sunday Grin

Is this a positive?

I think that it’s almost impossible to tell once the test has been taken apart and the colour changed as indent lines can look like a positive. Can you post it in colour? Hope you get a bfp this month.

AgainPlease · 04/09/2018 07:45

I can't see anything. Sorry

You could see it while in the actual test as well, that's the only reason I took it apart. I put it in black and white to make it stand out more, wanted to put it in an inverted effect but didn't know how. Not sure of colour, I'll attach another pic, but it was definitely visible on the test before opening

Tests are invalid once you take them apart.

What have you taken the pic in B&W? Is it a pink line or a grey line?
