Hi all, first-time poster here Blush

First month ttc and could use a little advice re testing. So period was due 1st Aug, tested then with co-op brand - bfn. Tested 2nd Aug with same brand of test - bfn. And then again today with an early result first response test - bfn. Thing is, on the second day I didn’t wait for ten mins to look at the test, I just saw that the control line had come up and assumed it was negative (Steve naive newbie!) and threw it in my bag within like 2 mins. Looking at it again today (e.g 30hrs later) there’s a definite faint line there - it’s the same width as the control line, just very faint. I know you’re not supposed to look at tests after the ten minute period, could that make a line come up? I’m just worried it took a little longer than 2 mins to come up and I discarded it before I saw it. But then it was bfn on today’s test. So confused! Any advice??

Hey, if I were you I'd wait a few days and hen test again. When I first started ttc I was obsessed with testing, so nearly did one everyday. Especially when AF was late! But give it a few days and test with a FRER first thing on the morning!

G'luck!

I would discard that test after that length of time, and test again in a few days . Especially if it was yesterday's test and you've had another negative today . It's so hard waiting and you can become obsessed with lines, but I'd say it's a negative for now x

Sounds like it's an evaporation line tbh after that long.
Best thing to do is test again tomorrow but do it with the very first wee in the morning as this will contain the most pregnancy hormone if you are pregnant.
