Question

Yes, no, maybe, invalid???!! How come it's so difficult to get an accurate answer??? Preggo or not?

I took a test w/ First Response Early Detection and didn't notice a response within a minute so I pitched it. Over an hour later I looked again and there was a faint positive line. I immediately took my second test and got a partial positive line within 3 minutes. I know both are considered invalid by manufacturer. Is it possible they're accurate? I've seen so many different opinions! Next time im splurging on the digital. :)

The test read in three mins should be valid...I wouldnt trust the one before that but it sounds like the three min test backs up the results.
Congrats! =))

Why would you say you know the second test is invalid?

I just looked at your gallery. Both of those tests are DEFINITELY positive! I'm guessing you're thinking the bottom one was invalid because the line is thinner at the bottom, but it look like the dye just didn't stick there as well or that maybe the strip where the line is supposed to be wasn't even. When a test is invalid, usually neither line ever shows up or the lines are only half of what they should be- meaning neither touch the bottom.
Your tests are positive!! Congratulations! H&H 9!

I hate FRER tests. They're very unreliable for me. Even with my first pregnancy I got a clear and strong BFP on a Dollarstore test, but the FRER showed barely anything.

@luvtowalkfast - FIrst Response said test was invalid if only part of the line appeared. Its does not go from top to bottom on second test && the results appeared after the 10 min time indicated on the first test also making it invalid.

Thank you ladies for the input!! Going to drug store now! :)
