Is this a faulty test?

The line on this test isn’t in the centre and it isn’t as thick as it should be. Also it took just over 5 mins to appear. Pleas give me opinions. I’m going crazy staring at it.

My early positives on sainsburys tests looked like those thin off centre lines. I think that was about 9 days PO

Ah. I am 9 DPO. So this could be a positive? Did yours take 5 mins to appear?

Actually I think I’m 10 days DPO.

Too early. Probably faulty.

Pink dye tests are more sensitive. Do leave it longer to test though, you're pretty early even with a more sensitive test.

OK. Thanks. So basically no way of knowing from this test. Need to test tomorrow.

To be fair I have no idea when I ovulated but the only time I could have got pregnant was 12 nights ago tonight. So I could be 12 days post conception or less if the sperm hung about a bit.

I'd say that's a positive. The strip has just moved inside the casing.

Ineedacoffee21 · 21/05/2020 05:26

I would say that’s positive!
Try a first response test

Wait a few more days and then take a FRER

I’m jinxed. Got another pack this morning. Only Sainsburys open at 7am so no choice of brand. The bloody control line hasn’t come up! I presume that means I can’t rely on the negative result in the non control box?

Not too early at all I got faint positives at that stage I'll try find my photo for you

Not too early at all I got faint positives at that stage I'll try find my photo for you. I always found testing in the afternoon after holding got better results than morning!

Frustrating!

Get yourself on amazon - 2 FRERs for £7.90 delivered tomorrow with prime.

Positive :) congratulations

Lweji · 21/05/2020 08:39

Congratulations. You're clearly pregnant no doubt. Smile

Regarding the first test, both side control and vertical line were off centre by a similar degree, so that should be ok. And a positive too.

Fifipop185 · 21/05/2020 08:39

I see a line! Congrats.

Apolloanddaphne · 21/05/2020 08:41

You are pregnant. Congratulations.

furloughfury · 21/05/2020 09:15

Congratulations!

MrsLully · 21/05/2020 09:16
