The line disappeared after the time limit! Is it still positive?
A positive result will generally stay positive for 48 hours. Some very faint lines may fade and become difficult to see, however. Note: sometimes a line will appear briefly as the dye in the test passes over the area where a positive result would show. This is not a positive result. My suggestion: as soon as urine is applied to your test, set a stopwatch for 9 minutes, 45 seconds. Place the test on a flat, dry surface and walk away. When the alarm goes off, read the test from the same distance you would read a book– allow 15 seconds to examine the test. If there is a pink line (or blue, obviously, if your test uses blue dye), you are pregnant. If there is no line at the 10-minute mark, you are not pregnant or you are testing too early and there is not enough hCG to be detected in your pee. If you really get what looks like a true positive, and it disappears, I suggest calling the manufacturer and asking for their input. They may compensate you for the test as well.
Will I get a positive test at the same DPO as I did in my last pregnancy? Do I have to test with my first morning urine (FMU)? What are the different types of tests, and how do they work? What’s the deal with “the rabbit dying”? My period is really late, but my HPT’s are still negative. What’s up? Do evaporation lines disappear? Which tests are more sensitive, ones that measure smaller or larger amounts of hCG? How much hCG should be in my urine during early pregnancy? My digital test said “Not Pregnant,” but the test stick has 2 lines. Am I really pregnant? Can using too much or too little pee affect the results? Can I use Clear Plan Fertility Monitor sticks in the digital HPT (or vice versa)? My HPT was positive, but the urine test at my doctor’s was negative. Huh? My test developed a line, but it’s going the wrong way. Or it’s in the wrong place. Or it’s the wrong color. Is it positive? How long after implantation bleeding can I expect a positive pregnancy test? Will my urine look d
