Is this a positive test..?

Hello!
Just looking for another pair of eyes to help me please!
Took these two Tesco own pregnancy tests earlier this evening, checked after 3/4 mins (shouldn't read the results after 10) and there was the faintest of lines running through the middle making it a positive, so faint though that in certain lights you couldn't see it at all..
it's left me completely stumped as to what the result really is.
I took a clear blue test, and it's come back as negative as negative could be so I'm really unsure.
The tests when I checked again a moment ago are a little darker now, so you can see the lines better.
What do you think..? Wishful thinking maybe??
I always thought clear blue were the best tests but now I'm not sure..

Is this a positive test..?

Hi @ttc97 the first pics definitely look positive to me! When I had my positive tests the cheap ones worked before the clear blue ones did. I used the exact same clear blue test as you and it only showed as positive maybe 3 days after using a cheapie and getting positives? I hope this puts your mind at ease Smile

Thanks all for your help so far! the Tesco ones do look positive to me, too. However I'm just concerned as I did leave them a little while for them to get this dark.. I could see faint lines within the 10 minute check window but not quite as dark as this.. just really confused as to why a CB test would be showing a BFN. 😓

I think the tesco one looks bfp but probably be best test in the morning if you're unsure where you are in your cycle? From other threads and personal experience I think frer tests tend to be slightly clearer.

Fingers crossed for you!

Those Tesco ones look positive to me.

@LifeIsBusy

Where are you in your cycle?
I actually had my Nexplanon implant removed early this month, and haven't yet had a period to know whereabouts I am in my cycle.. we began trying right away and have been advised by my nurse that we could very easily become pregnant the first few days after removal. X

I don't think I'll be much help, but I've been using the same cheap Tesco tests. When I looked at it before using it I could see faint lines, but when the results came up my vertical line was quite dark, although my control line wasn't as dark as yours so I don't know what that means Confused

Fingers crossed it's good news for you.
