FAINT positive.

armywife1227

I took a ept and of course it blue dye, and with all the horror stories i know they are evil. but i have never had this problem before. There is a faint line that showed up within the allotted time, its actually showed up about a minute after, but i bought a cheapie from walmart with a red dye and they were negative. so im not sure whats going on not sure if its an "evap" line or what. i thought for sure it wasnt because it showed up in the amount of time it was supposed too.. im a week late now.

helppp me please..

WTF is wrong with that picture?

Go ask first tri. I don't give a shit about your pee sticks because I have no idea who you are.

WillCMyInk

I would be more apt to believe your pink dye negatives than your blue dye positive. Like PP said, unless you are temping it's hard to say that you're a week late. Test again in the morning with a FRER, if it's positive move directly to 1st Tri...

Oh...and this site will be more than happy to review every pee test you have from now until eternity and squee over shit with you.

Could be that you are early and you used up all your hcg in your urine on the blue dye test and there was barely any left for your red one. Test in the moring with your first urine on a red dye.

Duh. The pregnancy tests only soak up the hcg and nothing else in the urine. So the first few tests stole all the hcg out of the urine sample.

We need to invent a game that we can play for these drive bys.

lizzyp9112

Ooohhh @DaBearsFanWife , would this be something we can start a thread for, like a drinking game?  That sounds like a shit ton of fun that I could really use now......

lilly1096

A couple things...

1. I didn't really want to see your pee stick, but now I can't unsee things.

2. That doesn't look like any regular EPT I've taken (others are more than welcome to correct me)

3. It does however look a lot like an EPT certainty digital test strip which you should NEVER EVER EVER TAKE APART as they're digital for a reason (to remove any uncertainty)....and now you should Google "second line on digital hpt" because from my research those always show two lines.

Is that not how it works? I figured that could be and issue since if she took one right after the other her urine wouldn't be concentrated like a first morning urine would be or after holding urine in for over 3 hours.

Other than not expressing my thoughts clearly the first time. Am I right or wrong?

Please tell me what part of the directions on the box tell you to tear apart the test in order to see your "results"?!

ETA: And tell me what part of a person's brain tells them this is how to read the test?

This. I will seriously never understand why people do this. Like, what is it that compels someone to take apart a pregnancy test?! At what point does one say, "I think this will help me to get my answer better than a test that is intact"? It would never even occur to me to do this, yet so many women do it. Go away OP.

Sliptak

I've never seen or heard of anyone taking a hpt apart *until now. I'm shocked and appalled. Why OP, just why??

Drinking game? Haha it's early now but it's 5 somewhere

lizzyp9112

@MrsP924, Yep, that was my thought as well.  Take a drink if the person uses more than 1 exclamation point at a time, etc.  May be worth it's own thread on the Snarky TTC board... not sure on the etiquette of that .

kerbear135

I'm with the rest of these ladies, why on Earth would you think to take the test apart? There isn't some hidden result under there...

I am confused by the picture behind the pee stick. Maybe OP is a budding artist and is just trying to show off her work... no. She is just crazy.

LilMonk said:

It makes me irrationally angry when someone takes apart a test, then posts it. I don't know why but I just want to slap them. I'm not usually a violent person. That is all.

Ok I admit I totally take apart tests. I actually have a little tool I stole from my husband that I keep under the sink to do it. I know that are invalid though, I just like to see how different brands put the test together. That being said, I totally agree with you, it is crazy when people take it apart and then post it! because I can say from experience, with many brands a very negative test will get a second line when it is disassembled. The second line will fade though, and it normally isn't in the place it should be.

This. She will come back as another pee hoarder for sure.

Wow that escalated quickly. I just like to see how things work and compare things to see how different brands really are from each other. My paralegal experience was for a patent attorney and I think it is so interesting to see what might be proprietary in products.  

JackoftheBox

Umm an HPT isn't a cereal box. Even if you take it apart and dig to the bottom that doesn't guarantee you a prize.

redheadscu1

You need help getting a clear positive on your HPT, right? Let me help you. Go to the drugstore. Put a FRER or some other pink dye test in your cart. Next, pick up a pink magic marker...

When I first took one, I took it apart too. It's probably the chemist in me.

Immunochromatographic Assays FTW!

Yah apparently I should have saved that for a not so FFFC if at all. I think I am more embarrassed by the fact that I didn't realize that was weird! I open up everything I can: remote controls, computers, cell phones, small appliances, watches. I've been doing it for so long I guess I was numb to my weirdness. Well, now I know

I don't see the issue. I think it's neat to be curious about how things work. At school we take apart things to understand how they operate. There are far weirder hobbies one could have.

happyhour73brettanomycesBrewgirl1980 I wasn't offended, I am married to an engineer so I KNOW I have picked up some weird habits, my IRL friends point things out to me every once in a while I appreciate it, a little self awareness is a beautiful thing!

Now if you took it apart, made it into something else and posted it on the DIY board I would be impressed... Just kidding  :-)

ha ha ha! Unfortunately my reassembly skills are not up to snuff, so I make sure it is something my husband can fix or is headed for the trash anyway.

Try using the Quote feature so we can properly appreciate where your overreaction is aimed. I mean, are you wishing everyone the worst or just one responder? And seriously, use pink dye tests following their directions. Don't take tests apart. TTC is mindfuckery enough without making it more complicated and confusing.

MrsP924

Those are some very harsh words @armywife1227‌!! I really hope this is a violation of TOS even though we don't know who this message is intended for. That was beyond brutal.

snooks721

@armywife1227 If you KNOW that blue dye tests are "the devil" (your words, not mine) Then why would you post another thread this morning asking us to interpret your test? Learn your lesson and buy pink dye tests.

We are not your personal google. We can't tell you if you are pregnant. I don't understand how people can do that.

Also, why are you flipping out 2 weeks later? JFC.
