Question

Has anyone ever Tweeked a pregnancy test?

I read this article online that women are tweeking their pregnancy tests by putting them up to light to see if theirs a second line. My question is how effective is this? I decided to take a test since I'm 4 days out and I have no pre-AF symptoms yet. I decided to try out the tweeking thing. After 3 mins of it settling I held it up to a lifh and sure enough a nice well developed second line is there. I'm not getting my hopes and I'm retesting in 2 days but if it were actually negative the other line shouldn't be there at all right?

Holding it up to the light, you'll more clearly see the antibody strip, which is there before you ever take the test. I'm not saying you're out, but holding it to the light is definitely going to make that strip easier to see.
