Faint lines and negatives - help please! CB/FRER

I’ve read SO many threads, really would appreciate experiences on my current conundrum!

Cycles are usually 24-28 days, ovulation unconfirmed this cycle, but I think around CD13.

CD24 - Took Clear Blue early detection with FMU- nothing at 3 mins, a faint line appeared by 6 minutes (I check at 3, 6 and 9 mins and then bin!)

CD25 - Took another Clear Blue early detection FMU, same thing happened with a faint line appearing by 6 mins. From same sample I also took a FRER early detection (pink dye, as I read so much bad press about blue dye)- negative.

Any ideas?? Both times the lines appeared before 10 minutes, so should be valid?? They were faint though… and nothing on the FRER?

Any experiences much appreciated!!

Did they happen to be thinner than the control line, slightly grey or inconsistent and bitty?

Hang on in there and re test in another couple of days, maybe with a digital? 🤞🏻

They were both thin lines, but both intact top to bottom - just finding it really odd that they appeared by 6 minutes (and the test kit says any lines within 10 mins are positive) two days running?? Feels like that would be super unlikely to get two evaps within the time limit two days in a row?!

Yes, trying to hold out to test again but it’s driving me slightly round the bend, hence looking for any similar experiences to give me a reality check or keep my hopes alive!

I had similar - positive within three minutes but negative on digital! What was your result? X
