does it mean it's positive if a line shows up on the spongey part? if not, why do lines show up there at all?? such a confusing test...

Two same pink lines equal a pos. If it gets pink at the top it's prob just bc too much urine got on it and the control line bled a little. A pos test is easy to distinguish, it's two lines next to each other at the 3 or five min mark.

The spongey part is what soaks up the urine. It is only positive if a you see a faint or dark purple line parallel & close to the control line. I wish I could attach photos of my positive tests to show you what a positive test looks like. It sounds like you have a negative test. When you get a positive one you'll know. Continue to test until you see a distinct line or you get your period. I was testing once a day (first urination of the day is always best) for a good 5 days before I saw a line. If you are tired & have tender breasts then definitely keep testing. When in doubt buy a digital test. The spongey part is what soaks up the urine.

I don't know what the spongey part is...it was pretty simple to understand looking at the diagram for me.

Its not confusing if you read the instructions. Also i have no idea what spongey part you mean. you pee on the stick and them let i sit a little then you look at where it says to look it should show whether its a yes or no. These are literally the same as the first response just minus all the packing and plastic. If you are confused as to how to use it pee in a dixie cup and put the stick in the cup.

I am getting the same thing. A distinct pink line on the spongey part (you have to lift up plastic, right after max line) and a pink line at the control spot. Not sure what that means, but I am also confused.

I would take that as a definite positive! Congrats! I use these strips all of the time, and I just found out myself that I was pregnant. I saw virtually phantom lines at first, but a couple days later they were faint. Don't take a home test today that you buy at a store though because it might not show up with your diluted urine. Take a home test (I recommend the clear blue digital) with your first morning urine tomorrow. You should definitely see a pregnant result. Good luck!!

The quality is good, but is significantly different from what you see when you draw. It saves the vector traces. Occasionally, some traces are not registered :( Here some files made with it.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28c3unKHwmALU1VUUxpcVlub2M/edit?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28c3unKHwmAZmJxUVZhbFN0QmM/edit?usp=sharing

It could be an issue with the float that indicates whether or not the unit is full. Honestly the float system is pretty cheap, but working on that might fix your problem.

If the top line only appears, it is positive. If both lines appear, it is negative.

The one with Red O-Ring is the positive. There're also positive and negative mark on them.

vertical line will show positive. watch out for the dye runs it takes a while for them to settle

If you are anal, then maybe it is. I don't pay attention, so it never bothers me. I notice smudges on my stainless steel fridge, so I'm not completely oblivious.

Its on the back of package and its very simple. The only problem you'll have is a hard time reading the results cause its a bit confusing. Its only positive if both lines are dark the same color if one is lighter than other most likely negative, gl! :)

If I remember correctly some things like the pH show a range & others just show positive or negative.

I have been monitoring mine since i bought it.It has not gotten slimy or shown anything that I can feel as dirty between fillings of the container.I only fill it half full for now.I have cleaned it once in that time.

On the back of the package it shows you, line the strip up with the picture. The line closest to where you hold it is the control, the line closest to where you pee is the test. The control line has always shown up for me, the test line on the LH kit will vary in color, when it matches the control it is positive.

for ovulation they must be the same color or the test line must be darker. I always have 2 lines to, but a positive was obvious when I finally got one :)

There are 2 dots in the results area. If 2 show up, then you have a positive test

Invalid means the top line did not appears. That is very unusual. The most common explanation is inadvertent heat exposure, such as the test lying in direct sunlight for a lengthy period of time. The other possibility is the test was not held in the urine long enough to "pink up," that is begin to run. In that case, if it is just totally white, hold the test in the urine sample long enough to see it begin to turn pink. Then the test will run fully.

I'm not sure but when you type it in, it should tell you which slimline it's for! ;-)

I have also gotten multiple false positives with Lot W001303100-3. Heartbreaking. I want my money back. The positive lines are light pink and showing up within 5 minutes, often within 1 min.
