One step pregnancy tests

[Gooseywoosey]

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering do anyone have any experience with one step pregnancy tests. I have been taking them for the past 3-4 days and a very slight line comes up each time, it wont even come up in pictures zones up each time. I have taken two frer and they are 100% negative. I am wondering now are they indent/evap lines, they are thinner than the control line but they do come up within the 5 min time frame. I did dip one in water and nothing came up.

My cycle was always 28 days but I had a chemical in june and one in august and since then it has been 32 days each month. I always have spotting exactly five days before my period is due so usually starts on cycle day 27.

This month I have started having brown spotting since cycle day 24 and still have it today on cycle day 27. I am currently 11dpo.

Any advice please x

When I get a positive on OneStep it usually shows up around 10-11DPO. I think FRERs are supposed to be even more sensitive for detecting HCG than OneStep. Do you have a photo you can attach?

@sassenach84 new here, how do I upload a pic?

I think you're not able to straight away if you've only just become a member. Otherwise there should be a paper clip option in the reply box

I got a very very faint line of one step last week. Could see it when it was wet but after 30 minutes it had dried to nothing. The next day I had a really really obvious positive on a FRER. For me that means FRER is way more sensitive but that doesn't mean it's the case with every batch. Try testing later in the day with a 4 hour hold, sometimes better when you are testing early. Good luck

Thanks everyone. When they dry out the line is mote visible.

I just took a frer and a one step now, both witj same urine, a faint line appeared one the one step within a min and the frer was negative. I think the one steps must be wrong.

Sorry there is no paper clip option for me to upload a pic.

Are you pregnant? Just taken a one step and came back positive but I'm not sure x

Hi, no i am not, af arrived today. Each one step came back with a line, the only thing is the line was never as thick as the control line so if you have a line as thick as the control line it could be good news.

Sorry to hear that 😩 that mine x

Hi I’m two days late for my period, I’m getting light cramps and all the one step test are coming back as negative

@chole27 i didnt have those tests, i had the one step strips so hopefully its good news for you. I can def see a line, have you done a frer?

I had faint lines for almost a week on One Step tests last month, and only got an extremely faint line on one First Response. Unfortunately I started bleeding 6 days after AF was due so I think I've had a chemical and the One Steps were the only ones sensitive enough to pick it up.

Did you end up pregnant from this one step test? I used the same one and mine looks exactly the same. I’ve used other ones supermarket brands and a first response the day after and both came up negative yet on 8dpo I was able to see a clear line on the one step. Last cylce I fell pregnant but it was a Chemicwl pregnancy. Only the one steps could detect the Hcg from 8dpo...
