Faint Positive?

So I took this test at 12.30am when I got up to feed my son and it took longer than like 30 sec (packet says takes up to 3 minutes but he was crying) to show up so I was going to check after feeding him but fell asleep. When I looked at it around 5am even in my dim bedroom I thought I saw a faint 2nd line so rushed to bathroom under bright light and still there.

It's a lot clearer in life than on camera because I dropped my camera so it doesn't focus/zoom well. Please let me know what you think.

Yeah the 1st test I took was FRER and the other one with a line was a blue-dye test. With the FRER I've no idea if it appeared in time because I got distracted by son then fell asleep. I'm going to test with a digi on Thursday FMU.

i agree with the above posters....take a first response and read it within the ten mins..if the first response showed a line a few days ago it should give you a darker line now....i took a clearblue last month chucked it in my jacket and two hours later it was a strong positive,...needless to say i was not pregnant in the end.....bloodwork was neg,,,and i was devastated... so just to be sure take another or go get bloodwork done!! :) good luck and keep us posted ...

It still has to be discarded. Anything outside the time frame is invalid on any test. You also said it's blue dye. Those are well known and notorious for evap lines and false positives. I was on my phone earlier when I answered this so I couldn't see your picture, but looking at it now I DO see a line. However I'm hesitant to say if it's positive or not only because it was outside the frame.

You should never look at a hpt after the maximum time limit has passed. If you read the instructions, they even say to render any test after the maximum as a negative result. Blue dye tests in my opinion aren't worth the money you spend on them. I've had multiple false positive on them, I only use FRER. With that said, I'd use FRER and up FMU. Good Luck!

So took the target brand test and i couldn't tell if there was a line within 10 min it was kinda blurry. So I came back around 25min and there's a definite faint blue line. So 2 faint lines, 1 FRER and 1 Target brand.  Opinions/experiences?

You need to retest with a first response and use first morning urine. The test that showed a positive has to be discarded and ignored. Anything read after the timelimit is inaccurate.

I took a digital and said not pregnant but it wasn't FMU and guess it reads 50mL hcG and up  so not as sensitive

Supposedly if the line shows, then the test is picking up the pregnancy horomone. Also though, a test should not be read for accuracy that long after taking the test. I would take another one, which I am sure you have by now. Good luck!
