GAh! Faulty pregnancy test

Dh and I are veterans of ttc and I thought I had seen every permutation of odd when it comes to pee sticks (false positives, disappearing positives, dotted blue lines, pink smudging across the test etc).
But today I used a First Response, fully expecting another negative as it appears my uterus may be broken.
The test immediately came up with two lovely bright pink lines, but one (the important one!) only went a third of the way down.

I called FR who told me this is still a positive. I was happy. i called Dh, but at the last minute decided not to tell him just yet.
Then I thought I would check again, just in case, so I squeezed out a few more drops into a mug, tested with the spare, and it was utterly utterly negative.
Disappointed doesn't really cover it.

It could be that the urine in the second test was too diluted as you had only just been for a pee? Get another and try again first thing in the morning.

I have the same problem with opks!

Good luck Thanks

Seen negative reviews of them on amazon. I managed to drop a whole test into a cup of pee yesterday. It was my last test as well. Argh

Yup, another negative this morning and my temp is falling.

It pisses me off when people say "a line is a line". In my experience that is not always the case! I have now had four false positives, admittedly over 8 years of on and off ttc, but still very irksome.

That's so unfair
I was sure you were going to say it was positive
Sorry
