Hi everyone. I took a test yesterday, and waited about 10 minutes and still nothing.(Supposed to show in like 3 mins ) It was blank. I took a peek at it this morning, still confused, and it had one very faint line..which would indicate a negative. I have taken many tests in the past, and never had this happen. I wasn't sure if the VERY delayed answer should convince me to take another test. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else.

If you mean blank as in the control line didn't show up, then yes you should take another, it means the test was faulty. The control line should show almost immediatley. If it didn't the test didn't work.

I would wait a day or two and definitly retest. I agree, if the control line didn't show up then something went wrong. Good Luck!

in my experience, when the control line does not show up, it's generally been because the test didn't have enough urine to test from- if it cannot even reach the control line, how can it reach the test line?? ya know?

yes! test again
