Cover the cap on the testing midstream, then lay down the product on a clean and stable desk, start the timer immediately. The test line may look the same as the control line (Diagram A) or it may be fainter than the control line (Diagram B). I had a bleed around the time my period was due, but it was very light so I suspected it was an implantation bleed (it was).

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Very low levels of hCG (less than 50mIU/ml) are present in urine specimens shortly after implantation.

I had the exact same thing with the Co op test, evaporation line on two tests and used one other time and I couldn't see hardly a thing due the the glass/plastic being so scratched up. Obviously, everyone has a different idea of what a faint line looks like but we're talking anything from not very obvious to proper put-your-specs-on-and-peer-at – as you can see from our main picture of 6 different positive pregnancy tests (some done with multiple test strips) posted on our MadeForMums Chat forum.A false positive pregnancy test is extremely rare ("false positive" means the test is positive but you are not actually pregnant).

Not Pregnant: The presence of one red line in the control window (C) means you are probably not pregnant. If no lines appear anywhere in the result window or if only the test line appears, the test has not worked properly and is invalid. Invalid Result: The result is invalid if no red line appears in the control window (C), even if a line appears in the test window (T).If you’re holding a negative pregnancy test, you’re probably wondering if you need to take another one. It is also possible that you can have a genuinely positive pregnancy test and then, a few days later, if you test again, it's negative. Then to confirm it, I took the second test and with other brands a few days later, all said negative. If only one coloured line appears in the result window this is a negative result and you are either not pregnant or you may have tested too early. The result is invalid if no colored line appears in the Control Line Region, even if a line appears in the Test Line Region.

I am 11dpo and I got (what I thought) was a faint positive on a ferer yesterday morning at 10dpo however this morning I tested again and hardly anything there. I took the other test in the packet a week later and the line was a tiny bit clearer but still very faint.
