Is this a false positive?

I did a pregnancy test this morning and it’s a faint positive, I did another test this afternoon and that is negative. Could it be a false positive or too early to catch it later in the day when my hcg isn’t as concentrated? I’ve added an imagine of the test from this morning.

Is this a false positive?

It does look like there is some dye bleed around the control line. I’m afraid this can travel up the test indent and cause a false positive. Be careful not to flood the test, and keep it flat whilst developing, to avoid dye bleed.

Good luck 🤞🏻

@Tiredmum2018 your urine could also be more concentrated by afternoon time. How many dpo are you? You might just have to retest in 2 days time. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi, I’m not sure how many dpo I am because I only stopped taking the pill last morning so I don’t think my body has settled from that but because of the symptoms I’m getting I’m so confused
