Looks positive to me. I only ever used those.

DragonsAndCakes · 11/04/2018 07:56

They do look a bit odd. Are you dipping in a pot for the right amount of time?

NoWordForFluffy · 11/04/2018 07:57

You're flooding the tests. Are you dipping them into collected urine?

You need to do another test and only dip as long as it tells you to.

SalsaLala · 11/04/2018 07:58

My surprise BFP was like that, I was convinced it was a mistake as it was an old test and it had smudged.

Wonderlass · 11/04/2018 08:01

They're all very blurry rather than a line.

Do your first morning pee in a cup then go get a first response.

SoyDora · 11/04/2018 08:03

Agree that they look much blurrier than a normal line. Are you flooding the test?

LovesLaboursLost · 11/04/2018 08:05

Yeah, I think those are flooded tests. I wouldn’t rely on them.

MacNcheese87 · 11/04/2018 08:11

I wouldn't take that as a BFP unfortunately. I wouldn't take it as a BFN either though. Those tests look invalid.

Best thing you can do is collect FMU and test with that. Those tests look too saturated and can be messing with the result.

Loveatthefiveanddime · 11/04/2018 08:24

I agree with the above people being cautious. The strong line looks in the wrong place. the place where the line should be looks all smudged and not like a standard line, as if something strange has gone on with how you carried out the test.

Pinkvoid · 11/04/2018 08:28

I had a line like this on one of those a few years ago when I definitely wasn’t trying and it absolutely terrified me! I went out to buy a plastic one the next day and thankfully it was negative...

I would suggest a plastic one first thing in the morning.

JustVent · 11/04/2018 09:01

That’s just dye run, not a bfp yet I’m afraid

I feel your right Sad

iv ordered a frer from Amazon that'll be here tomorrow.

think maybe your right.. iv flooded it by dipping to long. I just did one a d was very concise of how long I dipped and it's no way as light.

I did the dipstick tests and they looked like your so I popped and bought a first response test, it showed up really dark on that. I was on the earliest day the 1st response said it would work.

MacNcheese87 · 11/04/2018 15:38

Do you know when your period is due at all?

HumptyD93 · 11/04/2018 15:45

good luck x x hoping its a bfp for you x

kyrenialady · 11/04/2018 15:47

They look too far apart for that type of test.

Wishing you all the best.

my period isn't regular but I should be due on now-ish

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 11/04/2018 16:45

Those cheapie ones have always been excellent in my experience, you just have to be use not to go over the "max" line. Looks positive to me, although I've also never had one as faint, even if I tested during the day. (Splinters in bum)

Masses of good luck op Flowers

WeirdyMcBeardy · 11/04/2018 16:46

First response are really good. I got a clear cross in late afternoon the day before my period was due. I'd try one of them OP. Good luck.

Eatsleepworkrepeat · 11/04/2018 16:53

Fwiw yhey look exactly like my bfps did. Did you wee in a pot and then dip the stick, or wee on the stick? Did you put the whole stick in or just up to the max line? To me, if you just dipped the end then it's a positive, the pee travels up the stick towards the control line, so it wouldn't flood the Dye back like that. Good luck for when your first response comes!

woodwaj · 12/04/2018 22:45

Have you tested again?

notoriousnames · 12/04/2018 22:48

Any news? Fingers crossed OP

DragonsAndCakes · 13/04/2018 08:35

Good luck Smile
