No it's not.

Pretty sure, yes.
I bet if you test again tomorrow it will be much clearer.
Do you have symptoms?

KeepOutingMyselfAnotherNameChange · 09/10/2022 13:11

I can see the faint line but have seen LOTS of faint lines on negative people so thats a no. The person may have a cold or sore throat. Test again over next few days and see if gets darker.

I’ll be honest, the test line doesn’t look in the right place to me. Are you sure it’s not where the liquid is moving ? It does look like that when still developing sometimes.

JuneOsborne · 09/10/2022 13:13

Isn't that just a pink smudge from the dye being activated and the fluid moving up the test?

How long before did you get the control line before you took the picture?

IronCandle · 09/10/2022 13:13

I don’t know what some people are on about. There are clearly 2 lines and therefore it’s positive.

PorkPieAndAPickledOnion · 09/10/2022 13:13

The control line against the C shows the test has worked. That is clear, so it’s a valid test.

I can’t see any pink colour against the T, which is the thing which shows up when the test is positive. A grey line isn’t enough to say it’s positive - usually it’s just where the test line would be if it’s positive.

Try again tomorrow.

Seen loads like this and been negative.

I'd say yes and the line will become stronger in a day or two

Potentially? Leave it a couple of hours and do another one

May become stronger. May stay like this for a week as its negative. Seen it over and over again.

sunshineeestarr · 09/10/2022 13:16

Everyone's different bec I had a line like that even stronger and I was negative

sunshineeestarr · 09/10/2022 13:16

I sent my test to the lab and it came back negative I would say wait tomorrow to do again to see

Loads of people have. The tests are not very good.

LuluBlakey1 · 09/10/2022 13:20

I'll do it again tomorrow and see. Thanks everyone.
