Positive test several days after taking?? FRER

I'm hoping someone can clear this up for me; I know that you're not supposed to look at tests past the set recommended time and I normally don't. However, I was going to clean out some of the old ones and I found this one (bottom in the pic) which I had taken on the day of my expected period this month. I'm 6 days late and still no sign of AF, which is why I found the bottom test strange.

When I first took it I thought that there was a second line but couldn't tell so I chucked it in a drawer. I've been using the cheapie ones that show hints of the second line as well. The top test is one from several months ago and as you can see, there is no distinct line (maybe a hint of an evap if that.)

What is the difference? Why is the bottom one showing the second line 6 days after taking and the top one, not at all? Is that a positive sign? I have more frer coming in today as I've never been this late in my life, but I just thought I'd ask out of curiosity!

@NikolaPiccola 🤞🏻 for you ☺️

I had a chemical pregnancy two months ago so i don't want to get my hopes up. Until I have a frer confirm a positive test I don't wanna believe it haha

@Alisa34 I know, but then why doesn't the top one have that? That's why I find it confusing haha

@Abi58 oh I agree, I normally don't look. I only took note of it because the much older test doesn't have a second line, you know? The bottom one though I thought there was a faint second line as soon as I took it but I didn't want to get my hopes up so I just threw it in a drawer. Also, here is one of the cheapies that I took. The bottom one has the strongest line and the top one was taken a day before, I think?

@NikolaPiccola if you read it outside the timeframe it's invalid as the line can still appear even If negative. I have known for some for it to be an early positive but don't get your hopes up just in case. Did you look at it hours or a day later or at the 3 minute mark then not until a week later?

Let us know how you get on when your tests arrive.

What do the cheapies look like?

Frer are terrible for this, I had dark pink line when I went back to one next day to throw it away. It says in the instructions to ignore lines that appear after the 3 minutes.
