I tested today (3 days before period ish) and ended up with a line.

But its soooo thin! And ive been burnt by clear blue evaps before.
I only picked up the clear blue today as I couldn't find any FRERs in the 3 shops I went into!

The test on the bottom, I thought i saw something appearing at 3 minutes but then called to my child and when I came back at 8/9 minutes the line was like that.

Ive held for a couple of hours, but had evening meal and a couple of drinks (just juice and hot chocolate) and retested because im a pain in the arse. (Top test). That line was like that before the 3 minutes! Im confused because its so thin.

I want to add that the top test is a full solid (albiet thin) blue line consistent from bottom to top, like the test below it.

The picture was also taken at about 6 minutes after I took the top test.

Hm, I had one a bit like that many years ago. I rang the helpline and they said it was a faulty test. Turned out I actually was pregnant, but I got a free test out of it, so it was worth the call.
The only answer really is to get a different brand of test. I think it is probably positive though. Good luck!

Boots own brand do a good FRER dupe to double check
