False positive pregnancy test?

3 days ago I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive, however I didn't dip the test in urine I peed on it so urine would have gone over the max line. The positive line came up instantly. Straight after I re done a test by dipping it in urine and it was negative, followed by 2 more negative tests. Both days since all tests have been negative. Today I weed on a test strip again and it was positive, again it came up instantly, are these false positive or is the test just picking up a more concentrated about of urine than dipping? I'm thinking it would only go red if it detected HCG but now I'm questioning that really it's a false positive as I've only had positive tests when it's done in this way, and technically this isn't following the instructions of the test. I am due on yesterday.

I'm so sorry you've had this.
These tests are notorious for false positives.
It happened to me 😩😩😩

You’ve flooded the test and the dye has run, it’s just concentrated in the indent.

Re test by just dipping in a couple of days. Good luck.

It's okay, I wasn't TTC and was very shocked when it came up with an immediate second line and even more surprised when it happened again. I only tested because I was feeling a bit strange.
I will test again in a week if my period doesn't arrive and for now just hope it was positives :)
