Dollar Store HPT question please!

[OlderMomma]

Hi ladies!

I have many pg symptoms & my cycles have been off. But for the first time in a while, I had VERY abundant EWCM this month. 8 thru 10 days ago the EWCM was actually pink streaked. Then I never "dried up"- have been "wet" with continued cloudy EWCM (sorry for the TMI...).
ANYWAYS... took a dollar store HPT yesterday just because I don't want to spend a fortune & I hear they are actually pretty accurate. There was the thinnest faintest line by 5 min, darker by 20 min but could not tell if pink. Then today with FMU same thing- VERY faint shadow line by 5 minutes, darker but hard to tell if pink by 20 min THEN.... ran some errands and returned home to PINK faint line. By this time, it had been 2 hours.
What do you think??? Any thoughts? Anyone with similar experience with dollar store tests and turned out BFP?? I know you're not supposed to keep checking the test but.....
Sorry for the no pics!
THANK YOU!!!!

Do you have a picture that you could post of it?

Sorry no photos... My camera is broken & my phone is so blurry up close. But pink line, though very faint, is fat and not a sliver. Though did turn pink after time limit. But I've usually seen the evaps as grey or white, so I'm wondering if it's a slow BFP?!

Could be as your right, they shouldn't be pink - only testing over time will tell!!!

I got my first with a dollar store brand that I couldn't really see definitively and then I took a FRER and could see it real good! I ended up buying like 8 more dollar store brand ones so I could watch it get darker as I waited for my second HCG level, and is sure did. It wasn't till like 20 dpo that it got dark. Here is a pic. You are still in!

If it was after the time limit, then I'd have to say consider it negative....those tests often dry with a second line on them

Oh, and in my experience those 1$ tests are crap! lol.
Here's my FRER and 1$ test from the same urine batch [not pregnant, just testing out my trigger!]

I've only used dollar tree tests with all my pregnancies then I confirm it with a digital clear blue easy. I did get a positive on my digital the day after a negative on my dollar tree. That's only because the digital is an early detection test. The dollar tree tests work very well. I've had nothing but good experiences with them. Did the line have any color to it within the time limit? I know the longer it sits when I'm pregnant the line does still get darker as it dries. Either way I would test.
