Anyone had accurate faint early positives with One Step pregnancy tests?

8 or 9 dpo today and took a One Step test this morning. It appeared with a very faint pink test line within the first couple of minutes. Has definitely faded as it’s dried but it came up too quickly to be an evaporation line. Didn’t notice anything on it prior to use for it to be an indent line.
After some Google searching I’ve seen a few posts about false positives with this brand. Has anyone got any experience of using one step? How did it go for you?

Sorry OP, I’ve had several false positives with this brand, actually every cycle showed me a positive like the pic you’ve attached. Buy a FRER I found them the most accurate.

I had so many false positives too

I had to stop using one step as I got four false positive in a day but other brands were negative same day so I knew it was an issue with one step.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Tried again with 2 of the one step tests today (all I had at the time) and both negative so definitely seems to have been a false positive on that one. Have ordered another brand, not worth the hassle to keep using these ones!
