Indents on Easy@Home Tests

Okay, I’ve taken about 6 pregnancy tests and each one has this indent to it and it’s so frustrating and disheartening. I’ve just had a chemical pregnancy and this is my first month TTC after. Please tell me you see these too? I feel so discouraged.

I’m sorry OP I can’t see a second line there

So sorry , @SophieShortcake, I had indents on pretty much all of mine too. But when they were positive a more shadowy and wider band appeared over the indent (which was still visible underneath) and as the band got darker it had more colour. I'm not sure if this is helpful x

This was last night, it looked a bit thicker, but I have no idea, feeling very lost. Thank you for your helpful response, I'll look out for that. Is there a better brand out there without so many indents? x

@SophieShortcakeno problem at all, I don't mean to get your hopes up at all OP so please don't quote me but I had this same thing this week. Kept thinking I was seeing a slightly thicker, shadowy band, but then it would fade and I just saw the thin indent so was frustrated and thought I was seeing things. But they eventually got darker and the positives were more clear :)
If you're in the UK I've honestly had the best responses with the superdrug own brand early detection, showed a clear positive in the evening of 9dpo, frer only showed the faintest line (hardly there) and nothing on the easy@home except the dodgy indent, but they've all shown clear positives since, just took a day or two longer for the others x

Oh and I also found that bands were stronger in the evening for me than the morning, regardless of how long of a hold I had. Based on the shadow I see on your pic that might be the case for you too x

Thank you @LavenderHaze04 ❤️ you've just made me feel so much better. I won't get my hopes up until I see something stronger. I am in the UK, so I'll pop down to Superdrug and get a test from there. It's all so confusing and extremely mentally draining! Xx

You are so welcome @SophieShortcake, it is very draining isn't it. Wishing you all the very best, and please do let me know if you have any happy news to share! 💕 These are the superdrug tests btw, I would say if you do get a positive then try and confirm with another brand just in case xx

I had an indent on easy at home this month after a chemical last cycle - I never know if it’s an evap line or it’s a very early chemical?

@SophieShortcakeim sorry I know it’s so confusing! I have been going crazy, testing my oh wee today to try and work out what is an indent and what is a line 😂
