Those tests don't have lines on? The top one has an evap mark on it, but they've been pulled apart too haven't they (or are they just test strips?). They don't look positive to me at all, sorry.

If you don't have a line without picking the test apart and examining it with a microscope then I'd take it as a negative!

Sorry you're struggling. I always found First Response Early Response ones best (both of my pregnancies picked up at under 4 weeks with those!). Very faint pink lines at first but absolutely visible without the need to pull the strips out.

The top one has a bit of a line but I wouldn't say it was strong enough to be a positive result. The second two have nothing I can see. Are they different tests?

Tinker39 · 06/10/2021 10:44

The top test is just a strip test and that was the positive I got that came up straight away .. the bottom ones where ones I took apart

If it came up straight away and was coloured (not grey like now) then it could have been a chemical, sadly. False positives are very rare, could be a faulty test I suppose but again it's unlikely that you'd get a false positive on one, more likely a false negative.

Doesn't seem anything wrong with the tests though!

Sorry you’ve had this experience OP. Personally I found freedom tests to be very good but as with all test brands, there are faulty ones Flowers

Kindertonguehappierlife · 06/10/2021 10:50

Also I agree with @twirlinginthesnow, false positives are very rare let alone having multiple false positives

Tinker39 · 06/10/2021 10:52

They shouldent be giving any lines out at all and I’ve just read the reviews and I’m not the only one if u saw that line 2 days before af was due I would of said early positive they were giving off lines for days in the allowed time

I'm sorry you're so disappointed it must be very very difficult. It is much more likely that you've had a chemical rather than multiple false positives.

Fingers crossed for next month for you!

Tinker39 · 06/10/2021 10:56

Definitely wasent grey at all :( came up straight away had another faint yesterday but I had lots of fluids so thought it may of been watered down however today’s fmu nothing :( urghh I hate this

Thanks for your reply yes it’s very difficult I wish I had not told anyone as now I feel silly I’ve had 10 losses in 18 months had a few months off and now this .. they think it’s a autoimmune response to pregnancy which causes my body to attack healthy tissue .. it’s feeling like it’s never going g to happen for me I will stop my steroids and Injections as no point wasting them there expensive x
