Question

What do these pregnancy test results mean?

Ok. I bought 2 of the equate Early Result HPT test. you are supposed to get 2 lines. a vertical line in the control window and for positive, a vertical line in the results window.
The first test I took. I held it under the stream for 5 seconds. I waited 3 mins and the the results window was half blue no line but the control window only showed half of a vertical line. I thought it was messed up. So I took another one an hour later. This time the control line showed up fine, but the result window showed a faint HORIZONTAL line??? there isn't supposed to be ANY horizontal lines. they should both be vertical!
What are the chances of getting 2 malfunctioning tests?? Should I be excited that they are messing up?
My period is due Sunday the latest but sometimes it comes as earlier.
Should I wait and test again? Has this happend to anyone

Yeah I would wait at least another day with another brand. And by the way, I heard Equates are horrible. Hope this helps.

Sounds like faulty tests. I'd contact them and try to get your money back. I would test tomorrow w/ FMU and a different brand. I like First Response Early Result--I got my early (but super faint) BFP with them. GL!!

Thanks for your answers. That is my plan. to test tomorrow morning again with a different brand. I might even wait until Monday just to give it more time. My sister said she only had tests malfunction when she was pregnant. So it got me hoping I was. TTC for a year now so, it's hard waiting and not hoping.
