I used a CBE test today and could hardly read the result!!! I know it was a BFN but I could hardly see it. Could the test be wrong??? I had brown CM last night and a little today (AF due today) but no AF and no BFP. I think it is just that the test was screwed up or something. There was the control line but hardly no test line. Any input???

Hey Jess! ((((((((hugs)))))))))))) I'm not familiar with CBE- so mega huge ~AFSA~ vibes and +++++++++++++ PV's coming your way!!! I'm crossing everything that you're having implantation spotting and it just may be a wee bit too early for that bfp to show in your urine yet! GL!!!!!!!!!! LOLove, Connie

There should be a control line every time you test. If there is no control line, then the test was defective or you didn't get enough urine on the test (or maybe too much). So be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Also if you saw ANY test line at all, that is a positive and you are probably pregnant. (as long as it showed during the test time usually 3-10 minutes).

I hope that this turns into a BFP for you!

Greetings!

I also had 'issues' with the Clear Blue Easy Earliest tests. The line(s) were always there but they were usually spotty or faint...even the control lines. I used both Clear Blue and FRE. The day I got a faint + with FRE I also got a faint + with Clear Blue, but it seemed much less reliable. Even as I got further along the results on the Clear Blue tests sucked...in my opinion!!!! Maybe I just suck at POAS...LOL!!! But I was obviously able to do it with other brands, so I'm blaming Clear Blue :)

Hope this helps!

Well now I don't feel so bad. I have had classic PG Symtoms since a little over a week ago.my bb's feel sore and full, very tired, bad taste in my mouth no matter how much i brush my teeth, and nasuea and hungry at the same time. lol...I sure hope this is my month. We just started on fertility pills for PCOS and we have 6 months on these and if I am not PG by then then they will start me on Clomid for 6 months. 4 months will be 1 year of marrage and TTC. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. I hope to be getting that BFP really soon. and to join the wonderful ladies in the garden!!!

Good luck to all!!!

In your post you said "There was the control line but hardly no test line." Are you saying That there is a second line but it is really faint? If so then you are pregnant. A pregnancy test isn't like an OPK in that the second line must be as dark or darker than the control to be positive. If there is a line at all, no matter how faint, then it is positive. I hope it is a BFP for you. Good luck!

CBE has a - or + result. I had a VERY VERY faint - I could hardly see it. the control line was a very very dark blue. I don't know what to think. I've had a brownish discharge since last night and AFNW today. Still nothing though. Hmmm maybe its just too early for me to be testing.
