HPT i am pulling my hair out with the dam things...........?

I am 9dpo and have been ttc for 2yrs so am used to using the same hpt every month, Today test came out really weird like i have never seen before. Here i go at trying to explain on a pc what it looked like. Internet cheapy (small strip, blue at one end and says max at the other) (has 1 control line to show its working and if its positive then you get 2 lines) if you go on www.twoweekwait. com and look on photo gallery you will see them under inter cheapy.

Ok so as i was saying i took one this morning and got the control line and what look to be a very faint+line but from where the +line is the pink dye goes all the way down to the max sign so cant tell if it a evap line. coz they are meant to be grey.

why has the dye bled so to speak and i thought you only get colour dye on the strip if hgc is found.

(every other month i have used these you get pink control line and the rest says white.

Hope someone can understad what i am waffling on about

Please help!!!! xx

If you read the results within the specified time frame it should not be an evaporation line -- evap lines are a danger outside of the time limit but should not appear within the 5 (or 10 minutes, depending on the instructions) minutes when you're supposed to read the test results. As for why the dye has bled...who knows. But if you read the results within the time frame, and it was a pink line, it should make no difference that the dye continued past the point where it makes a line, if that makes sense -- the dye showing up at all would/should have been triggered because hcg was detected.

I never had luck with those strips -- even when I was pregnant and every other brand I used yielded a positive result those tests never gave me squat, and admittedly I don't like them. (But they are cheap...and when you're TTC and addicted to POAS/PIAC that's important!) As you know, 9dpo is very early -- too early for many if not most women -- so you should wait a few days to test again. Since you've been TTC for 2 years I'm going to go out on a limb and venture to guess that you'll be testing every day from here on out -- I recommend that you get another brand from the drug store, some early results brand (personally, I have had the best luck with FRER, every time it gave me earlier and clearer results than any other brand) -- they usually sell either a one pack with a "bonus" test or, better still, a two back with a "bonus" test, and I would get that. Since you got what appears to be a positive result today, try the other brand tomorrow with your FMU; if it isn't positive, don't use that particular(more expensive) brand again for a few days, even if you keep POAS/PIAC with the cheapie brand.

Suggestion: if you have a scanner, scan the test -- if you go to the forums at http://www.tcoyf.com there's a section specifically for hpt and opk questions where LOTS of women post pics of their tests, either for help "deciphering" or (most commonly) for confirmation that others can see the faint faint line they've been waiting for for so long. People who haven't been TTC for a while usually don't even remotely understand the compulsion to keep testing or post pics like that, but the women on that board do and they're great about it.

Best of luck to you!!

I hope you are preggers but it sounds like you have to take another test to be sure. Maybe go to the pharmacy and buy an easier one to read (maybe digital).

1) It really sounds like you have a faulty test. I would re-test.

2) 9 DPO is way too early to know anything. Even if you are pregnant, it wouldn't show up yet.

3) Wait until your period due date is closer and test again.

Good luck!
