anybody taking a HPT 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 :(

Perhaps you do not have enough hcg in your system yet.  Re-test tomorrow with FMU and check whether the second line is more clear.
Good luck to you!!  I hope it's a bfp!

the pink line inside the test was on the strip as well at the control line that showed in the test window

is that a positive? why did the second pink line not show darker in the test window?
