Bought one today and it was working as the line came up in the small window first then after a faint line appeared going across not downwards! could i be pregnant? it's supposed to go downwards for a positive result but it didn't mention anything about going across.

There's usually a number you can call on the leaflet and they should be able to answer you. But if in doubt take another!

I suspect the Tesco tests are somewhat poor quality. I did one a while ago, and followed the instructions to the letter but both windows remained completely blank. So I had to go out and buy another test (a different brand.I recommend you do likewise.

I hope you get the result you want.

thanks for your replies

I'm hoping i'm not pregnant though as already have a 2yr old and 7 month old but we'd never have an abortion. If i am we'll have to manage.

hi chocolate, i had this with a sainsburys test. after calling the pharmacist he read the instructions and the line has to go downwards to be a positive. i think it was just a duff test. i stick with clear blue now.

I used a tesco test and it also didnt work.

tescos worked fine for me, infact clearblues digital and ordinary gave negatives.

they always have faint lines across, its just dye.

you have to have a downward visible line for a ++, within the timescale. an across line is a negative.
