Help with reading cheapie pregnancy tests


Hi

I've bought some cheapie HPT's from ebay. This might sound like a dullard question, but where should the test line (if there is one) appear? I've seen lots of pics on the BNB website and some appear alongside the control line and others on the plastic bit that you wee on.

Help?

The test line should be on the side you pee at and the control line will be on the handle side.

There are differnet types of tests that display the results in differnet ways so i can understand your confusion.

Does it not say on the wrapper? Mine were cheapies from ebay, and the test line was noext to the control line, ie: one line for negative, two lines for positive. (although when I tested and got my BFP the positive line was very faint).

Thanks for this

It just gives a diagram showing the control line being beneath the blue handle and the test line beneath that (if there is one). It doesn't state whether the test line could appear on the plastic bit you pee on.

I guess I am confusing myself. You know when you think there's a line and then realise it could be nothing more than a fold in the plastic bit?

Will wait and see.

yep not on the plastic but next to the control line. You will see the pee getting absorbed thru it usually
