Dodgey or fake frer?

Is there a dodgy batch of frer or do the tests normally do this and ive just not noticed? I dip my tests as my aim is AWFUL.. but as its running up the panel, towards the control line, the test line goes white and eventually fades down, i bought a double 2 pack, this has happened with 1 from each box. Im six 6 days late and getting bfn but im wondering if my tests are faulty or fake!

Mine glowed white when the wee passed it, but then it developed into a pink line over the next couple of minutes.

Sorry about your BFNs :( any chance you ovulated late?

This is my 1st period after a mc but i only bled lighlty and passed no tissue so guess its off to the gp for me, i definatly ovulated though x

I've taken loads of these in recent months and they all do the same. I now don't get excited when I see that stupid white line initially. They also leave a bitch of an indent.

I got them off amazon so wondered if they were fakes. Ive just made a gps app but is in a week so if af still hasnt shown ill be on day 43 and possibly 5w+6. Im on day 36 now and My cycle was 39 days with my mc last month but i was concerned as passed no tissue as i had in the months before or even a clot, the blood i passed smelt very irony and metalicy and my normal periods are heavier. I have a bicorn and i suspect scarring from manual placenta removal, on cycle 4 and 4th suspected pregnancy, i just cant hold on to a pregnancy. The mental stress of this happening every month is getting too much. X

Yes they often have a white line when the urine passes over. And agree with @8daysaweek awful awful indents!

It's just the test line on the FRER. It glows white because it's wet. If you look very carefully before dipping them you should see it then too.
