On Tuesday I waited 5min and got a bfn. Being the poas addict that I am I opened the stick and left it for another 5mins. There was a v dark blue line. However it was thin and slightly off centre. The same day but a few hours later I did another test and it had a v faint line (could b an evap). Yester day did 2 first responce and got bfn. Today internet cheapies bfn? Any one had a similar experience?

Yeah I'd did something similar a few months back and I wasn't pregnant. It was so disappointing, so I won't be doing it again.

Stick to the time limits and then throw the test away! I always think that if a FR shows negative then it's a definite negative. I left a superdrug test beyond the time limit and it had a line - it was a nasty, very convincing evap. Try testing with a FR again in a few days and see if it turns positive, everyone is different so it could just be hormone changes are hard to pick up so early.

I got a false positive on tesco digital! It said very very clearly "pregnant"
It was a twin pack so dipped the other in the same pot of pee (sorry) - "not pregnant"

God knows what the first one was playing at! This was 2 years ago now though.

Definitely test again in a couple days to see :)

Yep, Sainsbury tests are notorious for exactly that kind of false positive - thin, off centre line. I had the same experience. Don't use them again! I heard good things about Superdrug own brand though.
