Is this a dodgey test or a very faint positive?

Took a test this morning and at first it looked abit blurred but as it’s cleared I can definitely see either a very faint line or indent can anyone else see it or is it just me??

You need to retest.
There’s too much dye bleed. Collect a sample and dip the test in for the specified amount of time, rather than peeing on the test. Flooding the test causes dye bleed that tracks up the test indent and can cause false positives.
Wishing you luck.

Thankyou I’m going to try a different brand of test but I’ve never had this before, I’ve had tests look blurred but never a line with it!

It looks more like the test has gone wrong. Test again

The dye has fully settled now and there’s no bleeding on the test, still a faint line on it

I understand it’s now settled op, but there shouldn’t be any dye tracking across a correctly taken test. Dye should only be present in the control line or , if positive, the test line, nowhere else on the strip, or it will settle in the test indent giving a false line. As there was dye all over the strip in the test window, the test is invalid.
