Fake faint line madness?!!

[robo123]

I have had faint lines last month too on the test in my thread but AF arrived on time. Is there anything on your last test I think i see something but not sure if it's because of the dye x

This is the issue with the Casanovum tests, like with your clear & simple here, the dye can be like this and it takes longer than the One Step tests I have used to clear. They do eventually but some are more streaky than others which can make them difficult to read unless it's blatantly obvious.
I don't think you will find any ICs with squeaky clean reviews, they all seem to have their own unique cons between them!
I order One Step blue handle tests from Amazon, I know after having so many lines which weren't lines to expect this to happen, and I think you have to make your peace with their faults and only pay attention to them if you can see a clear line progression after a few days

Im not sure maybe a possible hint now its finally cleared at 1 hr! Probably not its stupidly early anyway.

 

[happycupcake]

Tbh it's so dented it's difficult to tell but I don't see anything obvious on this like your others

 

[Becca_89]

I can see the line in the one after 1 hour, I would maybe do another one of that brand as it took so long to dry xx

Oh my goodness, casanovum tests - they had me believing I was pregnant and I hadn't even ovulated yet! They always have evaps 😔 I was getting faint lines on all ICs and had one very nasty evap on a green handle 25miu cheapie and wasn't pregnant 😔

 

[josephine3]

The only test i have left in the house is a 25 cb which i will take shortly with my next pee which should be the darkest of the day...

 

[josephine3]

Damn i think its bfn. Must just be those tests!!

 

[happycupcake]

Hopefulpony, I don't recall having evaps on mine but the dye always makes them difficult to read within the timeframe (or at least, if there was anything faint on them to read). I think all ICs have their faults, but I probably prefer One Step over these. But then some people quite like them, as with One Step, some get along with them some don't. I'm sorry they gave you a result like that though, I know how frustrating it is
I don't think I see anything on the CB, Josephine. Are you ordering any more ICs?

 

[josephine3]

Yeah i did order some an i will probly buy a couple of something not sure what yet from town tomoro. There is a hint of something on it at 1hr but im not silly enuf to fall for that one!

 

[josephine3]

So back from town with a few cheapies and a 2 pack of clearblue to see me thru till the ics arrive. First tests iv bought this month as others were left over from last month so was feeling naughty! Shouldnt have bothered as the early clearblue was bfn. I def see a hint of something on the clear and simple tho it cleared beautifully this time well within the time limit. Pics at about 5-10 mins along with an opk (blue handle) x

 

[happycupcake]

I see what looks to me like the lines you had before with these, I don't see anything on the CB, I'm sorry

 

[Lovn.sunshine]

I see a line on that Clear Blue!!

 

[heaveneats]

i see a bit of blue in the CB one, but my eyes are not greatest so it may be more noticeable to others

 

[Becca_89]

I can only see lines on the green handle ones! But can see a line on the dried clear blue xxx

 

[josephine3]

Thanks guys i only see it on the green one irl too. Did another green one with similar results this evening here it is at 5 mins then a little later next to the one from earlier

 

[josephine3]

Its so frustrating cos i really just want to let it go this month but i have this awful itchy rash like tiny dots that come and go im gonna have to go the docs soon its driving me mad. I cant help but wonder cos i had several itchy rashes in both my pregnancies!

 

[margeandmom]

I'm not seeing anything, sorry. When did you get the rashes with your previous pregnancies?

 

[laila 44]

Not seeing anything again this month either Josephine. Sorry X

 

[josephine3]

I'm not seeing anything, sorry. When did you get the rashes with your previous pregnancies?

Probly starting around 12 weeks im not sure i know the last few weeks with my 2nd were agony because of an itchy rash no-one ever diagnosed it for me but i was just sat about the place covered in talc and cooling sprays and about any cream i could get my hands on! Much like now! The same things are helping too. Also my ears are itchy too and burning hot. I kno this has happened to me before but cant quite put my finger on when and why...
