help --- HPT taking apart

hey ladies...i know long time no talk...im sorry there has been a lot happening...

well i finally got to normal 22-24 day cycles and guess what??? im late....could it be?

im traumatized over HPTs anymore but i decided to break down and take one this afternoon....i thought i saw what could have been a second line but i didnt want to second guess myself so i took the test apart...well...haha

my question is...has anybody taking a FRER test apart that had a positive result? what did you see?

i saw a plastic piece where the results are displayed and cotton applicator type where the urine collects (not what you pee on)...i also saw a line over where the urine collects and my control line on the plastic piece...

but do HPTs display a line where the urine would collect to indicate a positive which would then make the second line on the plastic piece?

help :(

There may be lines we don't see you knows???? Get a test that says pregnant or not pregnant...that way no seeing lines that are or are not there.Good luck

i took it at work and was so freaked out when i saw the line that i threw it out...

i know im not crazy and there was a second line but it wasnt very dark on the plastic display part...

so im wondering if a positive HPT taking apart actually has 3 lines?
