help with test result

porkpie1981 · May 16th, 2008, 08:23 AM

Yes i know im mad as i just had an af not long ago(5 and a half weeks after mc) but i bought a tesco test and just did it. I just did that as im peeing all the time and starting freaking out thinking what if that wasnt my af (even tho it was heavier than my usual af).

So anyway i did it and the control line showed and then the window that shows if u are pregnant are not had a line the wrong way round.

I will try an explain this better Control line was like this l and the other window was like this -.

A postive result is supposed to show like this l l(one line in each window) and a neagtive show just have l (in the control window..

What did it mean by - l. It showed from say about 1 min and then disapeered after about 5 mins. It was bold and defianlly not faint.

Ive a uni exam in the morning so im busy at revising so will stay on to see any replys for a while then will check again later

eek im not sure havent had much experience with tesco tests so a positive would show up like | and not a +?

Do you think it might have been the some of the residual colour that makes the Control Line | was just leaving a wee patch on the Test Line?

If it went away and didn't stay I would be inclined to think it was a BFN...however I would certainly test again tomorrow.

i think u should by a different test i have heard tesco's 1 should "fake" results.
i took 5tests lol 2from super drug, it was super drugs own one, a clear blue test, doctors and once form the chemist that u just pee in a pot and stick the paper thingy in it.

they all said positive i just took so many beacuse i couldnt believe it, and i wanted 2 be 110% sure lol

xxxxxxxxxxxxx if i was u i would go get another test from somewhere else xxxxxxxxxxx

Its has 2 windows one for the control line and then 1 for the postive or negative

In the postive or negative window u need a l (down line) and thats a postive. but i got a - (across line)

I would read it as a negative result it sounds like a faulty test. I have used the Tesco tests before and when they have been positive I have had straight line down. I have a pic of my positive from a Tesco test which is faint as I had an early miscarrige but the Tesco test was the first to give me a positive result.

porkpie1981 · May 16th, 2008, 08:52 AM

I really cant believe how much that pic on that link looked like mine

Ooooo i was freaking out

All because it didnt get enought pee on the stick

I totally laughed at FAQ 32...Negative when viewed with a high pwoered lightbulb, tilted and sqinting at it...

How many times have I tried to get a "positive" from a "negative" using this method!!!!
