I took a Tesco brand test last night, just for a clear mind since I'm on contraception (cerelle) and don't have periods. I only waited a minute, which I don't think was enough time but it seemed to be negative. I checked it again this morning and saw a line.
These tests have never turned positive after a few hours, if they're negative then they've stayed that way.
I took a really cheap, expired test with pink dye and that's negative. Not sure if it's just not sensitive enough, or if it's because it has expired.
