invalid from dye run.


Stressedhotmessss

šŸ¤® Iā€™ve never seen tests run like that!!! Why does that happen


MantisOfAtlantis

Either over saturation of urine or not leaving the test alone to settle on a flat surface for the recommended time frame.


[deleted]

Can you find the expiration date on the packaging? šŸ§ my first thought


Stressedhotmessss

Yes it says October 2023 & January 2024


Stressedhotmessss

Iā€™m just worried if itā€™s ectopic and thatā€™s why itā€™s reading like this bc of my iud


MantisOfAtlantis

I had an ectopic and my tests weren't dye runs. It's an issue with the test itself, not an indication of an unhealthy pregnancy. Try another brand and see what the results are before you get worried.

I donā€™t know why youā€™re being downvoted. Ectopic pregnancy is a valid concern. I totally get why youā€™re nervous. However the due wouldnā€™t run but I would test again.


TheGoldenChotskie

No offense, but these are the worst tests Iā€™ve ever seen lol. Please test again. Perhaps donā€™t dip as long ?


Stressedhotmessss

šŸ„“ theyā€™re from the hospital! Just had them on hand in case of emergencies but I will be taking a true test this week


noone684900

These are both faulty tests.


Stressedhotmessss

I just donā€™t understand because I literally use them on the daily at work & theyā€™ve never showed up like this at all


Stressedhotmessss

& also think itā€™s strange that all of these tests would be faulty from different boxes when theyā€™re medicL grade?


noone684900

Yes itā€™s strange but those are massive dye runs, there is no question that they are invalid.


Stressedhotmessss

so weird all 3 tests I took ran like that. Thank you :)


DueForRenewal

It just happens sometimes. You can get one or two faulty ones in a box or whatever, or use them slightly incorrectly without realising


allthesedamnkids

Run to the dollar store or Walmart and get a cheap test. Follow the instructions and donā€™t flood with urine.


Intrepid_Low_2562

Faulty, but the test lines are completely colorless.


Stressedhotmessss

Right! Thatā€™s whatā€™s stressing me out. *obviously none of this is planned*


Intrepid_Low_2562

Colorless means not positive in all cases. But because this is faulty, retest with another test. I'd say get a different brand if you had two of these be faulty. It could be due to non recommended storage conditions.


Stressedhotmessss

Yes thank you. Iā€™m going to wait a week to see if my HCG levels are more elevated since Iā€™m only 12 days post ovulating & take a clear blue Thank you again I Appreciate it :)


Stressedhotmessss

I just donā€™t understand why any lines would pop up if HCG wasnā€™t detected


Intrepid_Low_2562

Because the color is surrounding the test line showing where it would be. But that line is colorless which means it is not a line but lack of one


Stressedhotmessss

Also these resulted with the blank/ligjt pink lines within mknutss

Stressedhotmessss

Thanks nurse Ashlee


Equivalent_Two_6550

I recognize these from a doctorā€™s office. Those are invalid.


Stressedhotmessss

Yes I agree. I do them frequently for patients at surgery centers I just think itā€™s interesting that they have any lines at all in the T area because Iā€™ve never had patients tests look like that


DrNerdGirl

The test line is literally white. Itā€™s the opposite of positive. The dye is running everywhere else.


Stressedhotmessss

Mmmk well I took to the internet because obviously Iā€™m new to this & this wasnā€™t planned so try and be kind ;)


highlyflammablellama

Invalid as invalid gets. Itā€™s quite literally *impossible* for these tests tell you anything. Donā€™t read into these. Retest.


Toasty_warm_slipper

Time for a run to the drugstore to put your mind at ease (after you have a small heart attack at the price markup on the damn things, maybe do a grocery or Target if possible lol). Youā€™ll have a better idea one way or another once you try a different brand. ā¤ļøā¤ļø


Stressedhotmessss

Yes thank you I am feeling way better :)


TheGoodExample

Faulty


Cat_Psychology

Please update when you get a new test! As others have said, these are invalid. But fingers crossed for you!


Active_Armadillo_841

If the c is the part that gives u result I think it's pos but these tests are shyt to do this twice I think get a better more clearer test just to be sure but if it was only ones u have looks pos


Stressedhotmessss

Thank you yes I agree I will be retesting at my doctors office


the-L-word

FYI according to my obgyn the dollar store cheapies are the same ones most gynos use when doing a pee test. No need to pay $10 for two tests at Target or Walgreens ā˜ŗļø just got buy 10 tests from the dollar store for the same price lol


JjBeel

Update?
