QUESTION: took FRER today and .... ???


it was a BFN at 12 dpo, although i had some symptoms and was feeling positive.
HOWEVER.. my question..
the control like, which is supposed to be a clear, solid line, was DOTTED??
do you think this is a fault test / i could have taken it wrong ???
I looked at pics of frer tests only and none of the control lines looked this way. am certainly confused

Same sort of thing here!!! I got a faint positive on a FRER yesterday at 15dpo. But the control line was blured,and the faint positive started to fade.It's still there but much fainter.Took another this morning and BFN! I rang the First Response helpline today and they said if the control line was ok inside the three minutes,then its not a faulty test! Not what you expect when you buy top notch tests is it?

definately not! my test was clearly negative but the control line did not seem right! i felt like it took longer to show up than tests i have taken in the past as well but that maybe because i was so impatient. regardless.. it was there in less than 3 minutes it was just not a solid line .. looked like "- - - - " only vertical.
damn first response.
waiting is bad enough now getting a nBFN but not sure how to interpret it is worse! i will wait 2 more days (when af is due ) and test again but i am NOT happy about it

Well, I've tested again today and BNF again.So I defo think it wa a dud test.If you cant trust a FRER what can you trust? Im so disapointed.Just wish AF would hurry up now.

i tested again today as well .. BFN again .. dotted line for the control again as well though. (they were from the same pack) .. its like my control line is as faint as some of the "can you see a line?" posts :S
this time i even peed in a cup and dipped it incase i missed the stick last time or something.. i dunno.
AF didn't show up, shes a day late.. would be weird for a FRER to be negative this late .. but with the control line being so light who knows.. think i got a bad batch

Don't give up hope yet ladies. I did an FRER on a Tuesday (AF due on Friday) and got a BFN. Did a test with a CB digi on Wednesday night and got a BFP. Just to double check I did an FRER on the Thursday and it still said BFN....
