Pregnancy test

Probably an asked before question but I've just taken a test and now I can't concentrate enough to read through the other chats that are here. Please entertain me if this is a stupid question!

I've just taken a cheap pregnancy test (brand is freedom). While the window was doing its thing/devolving the pee went past the T section before getting to the C. When it was passing the T section a line showed up pretty clearly and then faded as it reached the C. There's a bold line under the C but no longer under the T. What does this mean?

I can't post a picture because I'm a new used

I’ve had this. As the dye goes across it can go across in a line and make you think it will stick on the T section. Then it doesn’t stick as it’s not going to be positive.

Thats strange. I've not heard of that happening before! Strong possibility that you could be pregnant, do another test in the morning :)

the c is control so that line is just showing whether the test worked or not
The t is test so that’s the pos/neg bit. Most tests will say only look at it after two minutes and that’s why, so you don’t see the dye in the t window.

I've also had that before and I wasn't pregnant. Two lines have to remain there when dried x
