Possible misaligned line on early Clearblue test at 11dpo?

Ladies - I am driving myself mad here please help!
I am 11dpo (I think) af due in 4 days, I’ve had nausea and cramping and none of my usual pms for this week.
I opted for the clear blue 6 days early - looked negative to me - popped it open (as you do) and saw a pink line (it’s pinker in person) same thickness as control line but just not in the viewing window… I’ve attached some pictures of the line I’m on about and another one showing where it sits outside of the window… has anyone experienced this? Is it possible misalignment? Or are all CB ER like this?

Hello. Yes, there's a line on that test.

I'm not sure if it's a positive result though because it's not in the right place.

You're not meant to pull those tests apart.

It's too soon to see. You'll just have to wait a few days. I wouldn't bank on anything from these photos. Good luck!

I know you’re not supposed to but curiosity got the better of me 🫠🤣

Hi OP, I've not seen an CB ER do that before but it's strange it has colour to it as normally indents are grey. Do you have another test you can do?

I have another CBer which I plan to use Friday morning and a couple of cheapie dip strip ones. I thought I could see a faint one on a cheap one the other day.

Clear blue tests sometimes do weird and wonderful things..how have your cheap tests been looking? x

Cheapy strip from Monday. Superstore cheapy this morn - wasn’t convinced by that one, couldn’t really see colour and disappeared after time frame.

I think the upload has altered the quality of images as you can’t see the second line on the cheapy

I'm thinking there is a very very faint line. Good luck, I hope the clear blue you do on Friday gives you a positive result if this is what you are hoping for😊

What was the outcome?! Just had this exact same thing conspicuous line on a cheap one two days ago since then had ridiculous unexplainable symptoms that mad me think I have to be…. took the CB tonight after a fair hold… and it was negative I was like howwwww so I carefully opened it and my line was exactly where yours is! Nowhere near any membrane lines not like a dye bleed like an actual pink line but just to the left where it should be! (Maybe they are the same batch?!) very curious of your outcome! Never had this in all my years of pregnancy tests before! And this is definitely not my first time dismantling one 🤣🤣

I think it’s just how the test is designed, I came on a day or so later 😭 and then used another today for this cycle and the line is there again but it’s still bfn. Sending luck to you though!

Keep me updated with this months tests I’m curious. The outcome. I have had another this morning but the line is stronger but it was from the same box and same position and I’m curious why I can’t see more online about it

Oh this months tests are even more confusing 🤣 I got 3 lines on one test and negative in CB again.

Right was yesterday left is today! I’ve literally never seen this in my life had 4 miscarriages and two successful pregnancies and endless TTC months where I’ve tested over the years can’t wrap my head around what it means. Meanwhile I’m waiting by another 6 hours on an Amazon delivery of different tests

Honestly if these are the clear blue ones I wouldn’t hold it as a positive. I did find another thread about them on another website and it seems that the second line is always there it’s just the dye strip x
