I peed over the max line! Help

I'm an idiot. I've been scrolling endlessly on Google because I've been an idiot. Little backstory, ttc for 5 months just by having fun, 1 month seriously (fertility tracking and opks and vitamins) I'm on cycle day 21 and I'm a 26 day cycle, I ovulated 7/8 days ago maybe?
So I took a test a few days ago (clear blue early 10 hca detection) and it was a positive, however I did take the test apart but there was the faintest line while I was waiting (hence why I took apart to get a better look).. I will attach photos.
I then took a test tonight and it's a freedom £1 from Tesco 25 hca detection. But while I was finishing the last wee and dipping I noticed I went passed the dip line with ruined I held for 5 hours and there wasn't much movement on the display.. I thought It was a dudd and put it down.. I then an hour and a half later took another one and while I waited for that one, looked at the first one I'd done.
There's a bfp..
The other one i didn't hold my urine for, has an almost not line there, it's pretty much a bfn.... could it be it's too diluted?

Could peeing over the max line causes bfp? You will see where it went passed the max line as there's the dye run so I didn't go much over. But I still have..

Has anyone gotten a bfp going over the max line?

Christ I'm not making much sense I know.. I will test again and let people know my results

(Turns out I can't add photos as I'm a new user)

Calm down! Wait until you're a few days late then do a test. Then you'll get an accurate result.

I'm not sure what going over the line would do but it can invalidate the test so I suppose it's possible.

Do you wee onto the stick or into a pot then dip it in? I've found it's much easier to dip it in the pot as more controlled :) plus if you dip it too far you can always use another test in the same wee so the hold is not wasted :)

Good luck!

A few days late?! Are you mad? We are POAS addicts on here!!
TheDaydreamBelievers · 08/07/2021 09:42

You are testing too early. Wait until 11dpo and use a FRER or clearblue early

I dipped! If I wasn't looking what I was doing while dipping until I realised I was quite over the dip line - I'm so annoyed I can't attach photos

So, an update. I've just done an Asda test 2 for 3.50 after holding urine for 5 hours again - and it's a negative. I'm sure I'm out this month as I'm due my period in about 5ish days..

I've had a lot of lotion cm today which that is unusual for me, but it could be down to the vitamins I am taking - so who knows I'll keep this thread updated only because I know how annoying it is when it becomes ghost and you never know if someone has or hasn't fallen pregnant with the same things going on haha

firsttimemummy321 · 08/07/2021 16:44

You're still super early though, was it an early test?
I used frer (the most sensitive and got my squinty positive at 10dpo)

thesilentuser · 11/07/2021 15:00

I thought I'd just update on my little impatient little blog/question/post thing.. my period is due in 2 days on one app and 5 days on another.. so, I've done another freedom £1 test and found a line almost instantly came up albeit faint and it's stayed there.

I've convinced myself that until either AF OR a darker line comes that, at the moment it's still an evap line.. but I could be trying to stay grounded.

Who knows, I'll be back with an update in a few days. I'm becoming really cross that I can't attach photos because you'd see what I mean

OP posts:
thesilentuser · 15/07/2021 16:29

So I'm late. By 3 days

I've taken another freedom test and there's again what I presume to be an evap line. Again, this line is there - barely visible but very much there..... however I used urine that wasn't held for very long

I DONT KNOW!

It comes in 2 packs so I'll test again after holding a wee in I suppose

It sounds like you are pregnant then! Fingers crossed!

Starryskiesinthesky · 15/07/2021 16:36

They don’t sound like evaporation lines. Do you have a reason for thinking that or just because they are pale?

Hopefulhedgehog · 15/07/2021 20:28

Why are you not just buying some decent quality tests?

JaffaRaf · 15/07/2021 20:31

Did the line come up within the specified time? If so, it’s not an evap line. I’d recommend buying a decent test, maybe a digital one for clarity and do it first thing in a morning.

thesilentuser · 16/07/2021 11:44

Me again.
So I got a bfp last night. It's very obvious, the test apparently takes 5 minuets to develop and within a minuet the line was getting darker.
So I thought, I know what I'll test this morning... faintest line (came up in 5 minuets) but looked nothing I had to squint and put it to a light that granted it's become darker and there's colour but it's so faint.

I thought with fmu you'd get a blazing positive??? but I feel it's the opposite!!? - it's the coop acutest early test.. and I can't find any reviews to know how reliable they are.. ??

I'm now 4 days late for my period - there isn't touch wood any immediate sign she's coming either, but why the fainter line this morning?

I don't think I'm going to be satisfied until I'm fat gone enough to justify spending the money and being confident to take a digital

OP posts:
Hopefulhedgehog · 16/07/2021 23:50

Please buy an FRER! You should be able to post photos now too?

Wanderdream · 17/07/2021 18:40

If you’re late and struggling to read the tests I would just get a couple that says pregnant/not pregnant. Test and if negative, test again a few days after. I think you’ll still keep doubting the results if you stick with the line type

thesilentuser · 17/07/2021 23:08

I've come on - not heavy but definitely spotting :/
My bfp have been getting lighter over the past 3 days since the first proper one so I knew something wasn't right.

Absolutely gutted - but hey, I thought this would be of use to someone

Just posting to say I got a false positive on the tesco strip tests too. Won't be buying them again!

Starryskiesinthesky · 18/07/2021 14:43

Aww sorry to hear that 💐
