Inverted Line??

I have taken 2 HPT's (Dollar Tree brand) now, one last night and one this morning. Both ended with an inverted line...the window turns pink, the control line shows up, but the T line stays white. Is this normal or a BFP? I've taken this brand of tests before, but have never had this happen. I'm not expecting my period until the 5th or 6th, so I know it's still early. I've been having some weird light bleeding/discharge the past day and a half, nothing at all like my normal period as well as some PMS symptoms that I normally don't get...which prompted me to test. Thanks!!

hey there, when you say the window turns pink and the line stays white... does it stay this way even after drying time?

I did try taking a picture...man those boogers are hard to get a clear shot of ;-). I inverted it and the line actually shows up like a darker line, not greenish yellow like the control line. The pink in the window does disappear when it dries, and it might be my imagination, but I swear I can still see a "whiter" line in the T. Rather than waste more tests, I'm going to wait a day or two, see if AF shows (she's due to come somewhere between Sat. and Mon.), and if she doesn't, then I'll try using a different type/brand of test. This is the weirdest cycle I think I've ever had if pregnancy doesn't explain it.

yea, sounds like a bad test... because the white line your seeing after it dries, thats the evaporation line, and if the line in "paint" isnt the same color

Does anyone know if you'd be able to tell if you miscarried around 2 wks past ovulation? Would there be enough to pass to even notice?
