Boots 5 days early tests? Always have an indent?

So I missed some mini pills over the last two weeks (I had alot going on couldn't get my prescription and I'm not even sure when what days I missed to be honest) anyway kast Wednesday I started having sore nipples and bad cramping, sore nipples now gone cramping lasted about 6 days stopped two days ago on Tuesday. I tested with two ICs as I felt rubbish both clear evaps after the time limit but this happened with both my previous pregnancies. I went to 3 different boots ans a superdrug to get some frer as their the only ones I really trust but couldn't find any. Have they stopped stocking them or something? Anyway. Left with two boots 5 days early ones. Never used before. One yesterday had a clear indent line that darkened over the day. This mornings I could see a clear indent again at the 1/2 minute mark. I'll attach a picture but I doubt anyone will be able to see it. Anyway do these testa always have a clear indent? There's no colour so it's not a vfl but why are the indents like that?

Pic at 2 min mark. Anyone used these tests?not seen them before?

Hey op, I've used these tests alot and never had an indent line on them. Only line Ive ever had was a positive, never even had an evap on them. My vfl on them have looked grey with them being so faint but as the lines got stronger they started turning pink. I would trust these over any other brand x

The boots early ones are the same sensitivity as ICs so wouldn't necessarily have a stronger line...

I'm not sure I can see an obvious line on those photos, but they're a bit blurry so test again in a day or two.

Hi OP, after suffering from horrible indents on other brands I was led to believe that these ones don’t give indents and are quite reliable. If it came up within the timeframe that is also a good sign. The pictures aren’t very clear so I can’t see anything on them but test again tomorrow/day after and it should be darker if it is something.

Thanks. That's good to know. Yeah frer are the only brand I've used in the past that haven't given me evaps/indents.

I think its most likely an indent tho as I think given the lines I had on the ICs It would have been more visible on another test tbh. I've juat taken a cheap clear ans simple one. The only one inhad here. (Former poas addict here) I think probably the pains and sore nipples were just from missing/taking my pills late. I've been on the mini pill since shortly after my youngest was born (2 next month) and although I've had cramping before on it I've never had sore nipples the entire time I've been on it so it just threw me a little. Anyway they've gone now so I should probably just step away from the tests 😅 x
