Dodgy batch of tests or positives?

Hello all, I'm after some opinions.. I'm around 10/11 dpo I think and have had what I thought is vfl on a couple of Wandfo tests that have all dried into very obvious pink lines.

The dye on a couple of them seems a bit dodgy so I'm wondering if they're just a bad batch? I definitely thought I could see a vfl within about 2 mins on all of them but thought it was line eyes, but then they've all dried like this which is making me question it.

I also had a vfl on a boots early test this morning but it could be an indent.

I've also had some spotting which I usually get before AF, so fully awaiting the arrival of her but I just wanted some opinions on the below, do we think they're just a dodgy batch or potentially the start of something?

Thanks! X

They look like positives. Do you have another brand to try in the morning?

I'm having a similar issue with the easy at home test strips. They all dry like this. I thought mine were a bad batch but the fact you got a vfl on boots early test is a good sign 🤞🏼

rosecbrm · 28/12/2023 22:34

@MrBigsCat @Bb542 thanks for the reply both!

It's frustrating, I'm pretty sure they're evaps tbh cause they're literally barely noticeable within the time limit - but those lines are a bit savage! Defo got my hopes up. If I hadn't started spotting I would for sure think it was something.

The boots tests was also barely noticeable, could be seeing things again. I'll try both again in the morning if AF hasn't arrived by then!

Thanks again both, hope you have some better luck.
I'll keep you updated xx

How did u get on op

rosecbrm · 29/12/2023 07:56

@Bex4567 no change unfortunately, the test is hardly visible when wet so I think it's a dodgy batch tbh!

Think that’s just how they dry. If there was no line visible within the time would take as negative. Would only pay attention to what you can see within the time.

Bex4567 · 29/12/2023 08:21

Maybe do a different brand

rosecbrm · 29/12/2023 08:31

@Loopytiles thank you, the line is visible within the time but just no where near as obvious but I am still going to take it as a negative!

OP posts:
MrBigsCat · 29/12/2023 12:17

I’m still thinking positive with these and that’s using wondfo for past 7 months and pulling them out the bin later, dipping them in water etc always stark white apart from when I was actually pregnant
I’ve only ever had one faulty test

Bex4567 · 29/12/2023 14:00

Mine were like this and I'm coming on my period now..I really hope u have a different outcome sending. Baby dust op

rosecbrm · 29/12/2023 18:52

@Bex4567 @MrBigsCat thanks both.

My spotting has stopped now but I imagine AF will show tomorrow, will do another test in the morning along with a boots one and update you 🤞🏼

rosecbrm · 08/01/2024 08:55

@Bex4567 hello lovely thanks for checking in! All good thank you, I wasn't pregnant but my period was late! Currently on CD8 now, so about to start OPKs. How are you? X

Bex4567 · 08/01/2024 14:39

So sorry to hear that...must of been a chemical pregnancy those are clear positives to me...I'm currently in my fertile week on month 6 ttc..trying not to stress to much ..I hadn't tracked anything this month ad it was getting to much..hopefully we get our bfp soon

rosecbrm · 08/01/2024 17:39

@Bex4567 maybe, or just dodgy tests as they were only positive like that after the time limit!

Ahh exciting times, sending lots of baby dust.

This will be our 5 th cycle TTC with the first ending in an early miscarriage. Keep me updated xx

OP posts:
Bex4567 · 08/01/2024 18:29

The thing is I think rhat mine couldnt of been evaps but I took about 5 tests all the same line and even to diff types of tests and still had the vvfl there so they can't all be evaps....
Sending baby dust to you I hope we get a bfp soon its so deflating..The longer it goes on the more down I'm getting and that dosnt help things lol its a visious circle

Bex4567 · 13/01/2024 08:07
