Help! False Positive?!

AF due today. Had all the symptoms of her arrival and some light brown spotting but not actual bleeding yet. In a sulky, assuming the worst, last ditch attempt for the month I bought a cheapie from Home Bargains and got this... My doubt is because the faint line I can see seems to bleed from a horizontal line which was there before it dried. This pic is taken within 5 mins. What do you think?! Could it be a false?

Something is wrong with my app! It's telling me that the photo is uploaded and then not appearing 😡

Driving myself mad!

If there's pink in the test line it should be positive. It is an odd line but fingers crossed for you it's a BFP. can you get another test for tomorrow (or tonight because it's odd but pretty dark, so you might not need to worry about FMU)

Thank you! That little blob of dye is what is making me question it! I have another test which I'm going to take in the morning but then will get out and buy a different brand tomorrow. I wanted to take another cheapie tonight but I've had so much water that I think I'm going to wait. Hope this isn't some cruel trick!

Fingers and toes crossed for you, let us know how you get on tomorrow. Envy your patience

dublino · 23/09/2019 20:25

That looks positive to me . Was there due there beforehand to make you question it?? Fingers crossed for you!

lavenderlove · 23/09/2019 20:27

I would say that's positive! I know what you mean about the blob making it look a bit of a dodgy test though. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! X

Thank you all... keeping everything crossed!
@Dublino there wasn't any dye there before use but it spread in a horizontal line before evening out which I've never seen them do before. I'm worried it could just be a leak or something. Don't know enough about how they work to know if this is even possible. I still feel like AF could arrive any second, too. Just don't dare believe it yet!

Think this line was too good to be true... 2 BFNs this morning and arrival of AF 😔

That's absolutely savage OP. I'm so sorry. Very cruel.

MamaPeas · 24/09/2019 07:47

Oh @Darell04 I'm so sorry.

MrsA2015 · 24/09/2019 10:03

SO sorry op , I know that pain and disappointment all too well. May next month be your happiness!

dublino · 24/09/2019 11:05

I'm so sorry op . I would have nearly put my house on it being positive . Sad
