Freedom false positives?

Has anyone had any experience using the £1 freedom urine test strips (pink box from Tesco for me) and getting false positives. I'm having some very definite yet faint lines on them but no other (apparently equally sensitive) brands are picking anything up. The line just doesn't look quite right to me. I'm well within the time limit and it shows up pretty much straight away.
I know I probably just have to wait a bit longer and obviously I will find out in due course, but it's going to be pretty upsetting if they are false and I've been getting my hopes up (really the symptom spotting is getting crazy, and this is not my first rodeo). Plus it would have to be the most houdini baby ever that has somehow slipped past an intact condom at the same time as I must have been ovulating irregularly...

What does the test look like once it has dried?

Do you mean when it’s over the time limit. I can still see a line on it but it’s a different colour slightly.

Can confirm, the tap water in my house is definitely not pregnant....I did one as a control with the same brand. I would use my husbands pee to do an extra control in case it’s a pee related anomaly, but for some reason he isn’t cooperating....men...

Post a pic of it dry. That one looks like it’s still working.
That said I have only ever got a line on these (while still drying or otherwise) when pregnant. I did a lot in the 3.5 years of ttc and never got one until I was!

Were you pregnant in the end OP? I’m having the same issue with the same brand of test now
