Impossible to read tests

Anyone else find the shadows on these tests make them hard to read. This is a BFN but honestly those shadows are a nightmare!

My advice is just wait till after you miss a period and get an obvious dark line so you are in no doubt.

Yes I would say the same as the poster above. So many women on here get so stressed out doing several tests a day, often from too early in their cycle and it can’t be good for anyone’s mental health.

If you wait until your period is due the line is definite, if it’s there, and shadows make no difference to being able to see it.

Good luck on your journey!

I would take the strip out the case to see it clearer 😀

Any test that you have to take apart to see the faintest of lines is not one I would count as a BFP

Thanks for your replies but I was talking about actual shadows from the test not shadowy possible lines, I can 100% see it's negative, I don't see a possible shadowy line, but the casing makes shadows in the box making it hard to read in general.
I don't test all that often now, that's the first test I've done in 3 months.
I won't test again now likelihood of it being anything but negative are slim to none!
Thanks again everyone!

I’d never even noticed the shadow on those tests. If it’s positive it would be obvious

Thanks for your reply but I explained above I didn't say it was positive or even ask if it was... Said twice it's a BNF... 😂
Real shadows make the box dark is what I meant and I wouldn't recommend them...

Never heard of that brand. Maybe buy a clear blue.

Never heard of that brand. Maybe buy a clear blue.

Thanks sticking to my strips next time least I can see it better 😂
Still a BFN though... Next month maybe 🤞🤞
