Fake faint line madness?!!

[happycupcake]

There seems to be terrible lines on so many tests atm, I wonder if the manufacturers have changed the way they are making them or all using a different dye?

Good point. One I suspect they won't be keen to tell which is a shame!
One Step ICs always give me skinny lines, but I can usually see a clear difference between false and genuine, though occasionally I see a line I know is false that looks more convincing. Other ICs of the same sensitivity don't give me lines, even when I have been pregnant lol! You can't win

I do feel like they never used to be this bad! Iv never had lines on frer till recently even when they sat out for ages they used to stay stark white. Its as if they have changed the antibody strip?

 

[happycupcake]

I don't know. My blank FRERs stay blank, only those with super faint lines show up clearer over time. I don't know if they have changed in that respect, but I know a lot of women aren't relying on them as much as they used to

 

[josephine3]

Those questionable ones i had last cycle have clear pink lines on now i just threw them out! Should hav took a pic

 

[happycupcake]

Well Laila had that FRER didn't she? Remember that? It was stupidly obvious and she wasn't pregnant! It's crazy, I don't understand why they can't leave them alone. Why try to fix something that isn't broken

 

[josephine3]

I dont kno how they are allowed to make them like that in the first place!

 

[josephine3]

Iv got the other dodgy clearblue easy sat in the draw that i kno will give me a line regardless of when i take it its truely useless! I will make sure when i do to use a dark sample see how bad i can make it to show u lol

 

[happycupcake]

I have seen them before, the blue tests are worse because it's harder to distinguish blue from white than it is pink or red from white

 

[josephine3]

More faint lines??! These are the 10miu ics i got last cycle, i didnt see the 10miu ones do this last time only the 25's were giving me any hint of anything. I knew i shouldnt have touched the tests lol
I havent even ov'd yet i dont think heres my opks too so u can see what u think. These 2 were dipped in the same sample but one shortly after the other so the bottom one is the wetter one and the pic with the old green test in the background is about 20 mins after

 

[josephine3]

Argh the upload killed them!! Heres my opks. We dtd using condoms on cd 13 x

 

[josephine3]

Try these instead i think its cos i havent lined them up straight i was just doing it quick

 

[josephine3]

I did another with fmu...swear i see something still
. Here it is wet..

 

[josephine3]

About an hr later i marked what i think i see. I dont think i have ov'd yet but 6dpdtd ( with condom)

 

[happycupcake]

I don't see them in the first lot but the hour later I do, I'd say they are good for evaps? Which would be pretty saddening if you were someone naive to them

 

[josephine3]

They didnt give me evaps last cycle but i mean they've gotta be!

 

[josephine3]

One more pic

 

[happycupcake]

That's definitely an evap or indent. It's skinny and appeared after an hour. I hate it when that happens, this is what my Casanovum tests are like

 

[josephine3]

Im not hearing great things about cassanovum i will add them to my do not buy list!

 

[happycupcake]

I wouldn't bother with them tbh, I have clear lines on One Step but only indents on Casanovum

This evening wet
