Hi all.
Ok so, I have been testing the last few mornings with this cheapie brand. Yesterday at 18dpo the test line was very close to the darkness of the control line, so all excited this morning I expected the lines to match in colour.
However... When I dipped the stick, somehow I screwed it up and flooded the test, what should have been the pee running across the stick was just a huge pink mess.
Long story short, the control line didn't even show up properly, it was a skinny little line and the test line didn't show at all.
So like all of us poas nutters do, I opened the test and lifted the plastic strip so the test could "dry" in the hopes that it would save the test... After around 2 minutes the control line fully appeared but the test line was still awash in a great sea of pink dye/pee. After around 5 mins the sea of pee did run the correct way across the test exposing the test line in the correct place, but the test line was SO faint!
Do I disregard this test as faulty/screwed up and ignore the faint line?
Anyway, I bolted to super drug and bought a 2 pack. The first test you can see is 2mu and the bottom test is 20th ish pee of the day afternoon urine.
Do the lines look ok for 19dpo? The first/top one is lighter than the bottom. The bottom one is almost as dark as the control and both lines were very obvious before the pee had even gotten to the control line (first time that has happened this pregnancy)...
So the question is... Are the super drug tests looking ok? I am petrified (and can't afford today) to do a digital incase it still says 1-2 like it did on 15dpo (day that af was due)...
Thanks in advance!
ETA: boobs are still huge and sore and cm is thickish and creamy, just to give extra info.
