HPT confusion! Target +/-

Hello ladies

I was here a few months ago with questions, thank you for your help. (It turns out, that time around I wasn't preggo).

Here is my new dilema. I'm on the pill and have been noticing for the past few months that mid cycle I get 'pregnant symptoms' achey boobs, bloating. So I have got used to that being a 'feature' of my pill - but this month the symptoms seemed to last a little longer and I had one test left over from a previous scare so I thought I'd give it a go. I guessed I would be testing much too early as I have no idea when I would have ovulated, but was in a poas kind of mood! So it turns out looking positive!! It was a Target +/- test and the result showed an extremely thin but definitely readable vertical line, in blue ink. It is very like the previous poster's photo, except my line is slightly off center to the right (away from the pee on end) rather than the left! So of course I rushed out next day to get another test to confirm, but this was BFN I've now been reading bad things about Target tests and false positives? I'm scared that I'm going to turn into a crazed poas-er now!

So does anyone here have any direct experience with Target false positives? Were they extra thin lines?? - I know it's not the 'evaporation' line, as that appeared a day or so later. Is there any chance of it really being positive, seeing as I took the test on Tuesday night, and now it's Thursday evening and I haven't been able to 'make' another positive test?!

Any thoughts would be very welcome

thanks
Debbie
