Can a test read negative then read positive later on ?

So I am 9dpo I’ve had sore boobs since like 3/4dpo,vivid dreams, slight cramps main one being mostly the sore boobs which I often get a few days before my period but not as early as this ... I’m due my period this weekend but yesterday I thought I’d take a test ... when I looked at it it looked negative but i was in my stables toilet which is quite dark ... anyway put it in my pocket to go put it in bin then I forgot it was there ... this morning I looked at it outside and looks like could be a very slight faint pink line but not sure I’ve read about evaporations lines etc but definitely a tinge of pink to it this is my first time trying so totally clueless xx

Yes.

If you read the instructions it probably says discard and do not read results after 10 mins.

Read the instructions/ test again.

That happened to me too I was pregnant

Do another test properly, in a room with good lighting!

Op isn't this the second thread you've started about pregnancy tests? You do seem completely obsessed with testing,you got loads of advice in the first thread. Apologies if it's not you.

Do it again in the morning, first pee, and in a well lit place, and read within the time stated in the instructions.

Yes, came back after the time and it had colored line on, good luck for tomorrow!

Hi OP, that just makes it invalid unfortunately so could be a BFN or a BFP tbh.
You will need to retest but try to wait a couple more days if you can as it's still really, really early.
The line really needs to come up in the timeframe for a true positive.

Anastacia1 · 19/05/2020 22:50

No this is the first time I’ve ever taken a test in my life

Congratulations OP I'd tell the OH

Lweji · 20/05/2020 10:52

I'm sorry but I see no line. I hope it got stronger after a couple of minutes.

DoIneed1 · 20/05/2020 16:23

Apologies Op for getting you muddled with someone else. Hope you get the result that you want.
