Sheece, not to be the devils advocate here, but could they be a bad batch? I know FRERs can give a "fake" line, and if this is happening every cycle... I do see it, however I don't see any colour to it. I'm hoping it progresses, but I also don't want to get your hopes up. FRERs have an indent set in them to gather the dye into a line if it detects HCG. Maybe that's what it is?
