Did I fumble POAS???

Hi,

I'm 15 DPO and AF due today. Normally she arrives in the morning but today... nothing!

I attempted to test this afternoon but completely fumbled. Was so desperate to pee I couldn't get the test out in time and in only managed to get a few drops of urine on the stick (sorry TMI). Anyway, nothing happened, no ink moving across, no control or test line.

So a few hours later, I peed on the same stick again. I know, I probably shouldn't have, but I just needed to know and I got this....

Now my mind is racing even more. Could this be a false positive? Will definitely get a new test and try again in the morning but just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and can let me know if this can be trusted!

Thanks ☺️

Test again tomorrow morning. Pee in a cup and then dip it rather than trying to fumble around mid stream.

That's very closer - I'd say it's positive

I’d say positive but definitely dip rather than try to POAS.

It certainly looks positive but I have no idea about their reliability in these circumstances.
All you can do is retest tomorrow- I always dip in a cup by the way to avoid flooding the stick

Looks like a positive to me! Deffo test again tomorrow but I'm going to give you a cautious congratulations!! 🥰

Hi, I’m in exactly the same situation- I usually dip in a cup but for some reason yesterday decided to wee on the stick. I wiped the little window bit with toilet paper (haha TMI but it went everywhere like a sprinkler 🤣🫣) and then fretted I’d somehow caused a dye leak by tampering with it 😭 because it was positive.
Bottom line is always pee in the cup! With you in testing again today…my fingers are so crossed for you! Xx

Hi, tested again this morning and BFP! I'm so shocked as I really thought I was out this month.

@Pipersgirl completely agree, moral of the story is dip the stick 😂 Did you test again?

Thanks for the kind messages everyone, kept me from tearing my hair out through the night! 🥰
