False positive?

I took this test 6 hours ago and nothing came up, I have just gone to throw away and it looks like this, is it a false negative, the test is an early swift one from the local pharmacy

False positive?

Hard to say as the dye has run/flooded and might just have pooled where the first line would be. I think you need to re test

If it wasn't positive within the timeframe, it's negative. Some tests are only valid for 5 mins, some 10. You'll need to test again (I recommend waiting at least 48 hours).

Tried a clear blue today and negative, slight spotting when I wipe but nothing on a pad and my period was due Sunday. So thinking it's a false alarm. X

Really bad showing a line though if was negative as it's a very worrying and stressful time!

Yea I agree it's very strong positive aswel xx

Have you tried a first response test? They are more accurate than clear blue when early. Hopefully you will get the answer you want.

I havent yet but I have brown blood not loads but there, that's not possible if pregnant is it?

It's not common, but can be totally normal to have some bleeding (brown or red) during early pregnancy. Full blown period bleeding during pregnancy is very uncommon though.

keepingbees · 07/08/2019 22:21

A little brown blood is common, it could be implantation bleeding. When I had it it was there when I wiped but nothing on a pad and lasted 2 days in and off.
