First Response Early Result Instream Questions & Answers

Hi dear then what was your result as I am in same situation at a moment.

First response is my usual go to, though lately l have had a lot of evap lines, if its clearly pink odds are you are pregnant.
l googled indent and evap lines pics for first response l found the pics accurate for what my evaps and indents looked like.
Clear as day pink (it doesnt have to match the control line) most of the time means pregnant.
Thats how it was with my pregnancies.
Good luck, l hope all goes well.

I’ve seen and researched the difference in lines and it isn’t a faint line it’s just really light pink and definitely isn’t an indent or evaporation. So I can’t help but assume it’s a positive result. I’m going to buy a few different branded tests tomorrow. I took the first response during the day and had already drank loads hence why i think not much hcg was detected. Very scary situation but I hope for the best x

yes I would trust it. But it could be early so you could still be pregnant

Its possible. It could also be possible you have more HCG levels than other woman. Maybe you ovulated sooner. or there's more than one baby. Good luck and sticky baby dust

I would think it's a faulty test. There should be no black lines. Only pink. I would test again.

If the dark line is on the test line (not the control line), it generally means that the test result is so strong that it has stripped dye from the control line which is an indicator of high HCG levels.

5th of May and April 2018 were the boxes I used that gave an ACCURATE positive. Mine were from chemist warehouse.

I would wait atleast another 2 days to take a home pregnancy test. 8dpo is very early so a lot of doctors would even recommend waiting for a blood test

Also the line shouldn't be grey so that would make me think it is an Evap line. But definitely talk to your doctor. Goodluck.

If it's grey it's an evap line.

Okay just an update intercourse was on January 1st which I forgot to mention, it did not last long due to pushing him away so maybe a few seconds to a minute. I was so scared that i may have been ovulating so I took a generic form of emergency contraception that day it happened. I bleed early then my expected peirod which was January 14th my last peirod was on December 17th . It seemed like a normal period which lasted the usual time 6 days. It is now February and I still haven't started my peirod my OBG did a pelvic exam and ultra sound on February 10th and said I wasn't preganant unless i had intercourse again within this month. Even so I still feel unsure since peirod isn't here yet so in case took a test on February 14th this time digital it was negative. It is now February 15th so basically it has been six weeks since the incident if I was preganant would it really be accurate by now? I know I have seen that test are accurate after 21 days of unprotected intercourse and clearly its been 45 days past intercourse so basically a month all ready. I guess it freaks me out because I read up some women find out they are preganant at 2 months and a half when they had negatives. So I hope someone can please answer this.

Oh ok. I would think you would have tested positive by now then. Might be another issue. I would see your doctor for a blood test in your case.

You could have ovulated late and a pregnancy test might've not been valid yet.

Definately wait another 1 or 2 days and test again. 8dpo is too early to get a positive. I got mine and 9dpo but it was soooo faint I thought i was imagining it. The line was easier to see at 10dpo. Some women can take longer than that though so keep that in mind aswell. Just keep testing every day or 2 until your period arrives. Good luck.

Also always use first morning urine as you will need the urine to be very concentrated if testing so early.

8 dpo is way too earl as most likely it hasn't even implanted yet. Wait at least a week and test again.

A positive won't show until 48-72 hours past implantation when the second burst of hcg is pushed through your kidneys. You may get a positive then, but don't be discouraged because tests vary in sensitivity. Just because an early detection test says it can pick up 6.5 min of hcg doesn't mean that it will. It depends on the time of ovulation and implantation.

Hi, the line closest to the "wee" end is the test line. first response instructions state that if there are two lines (within given time frame and with following correct instructions) then it's a positive result. My example how ever proves that this is not the case! I did three tests and a second line appeared in all three! I really hope your tests aren't faulty! Good luck to you!!!

The line you say that is dark is the test line which would indicate a positive result. But the other line, the control, shouldn't be faint. It should be reasonably dark. I personally would test again. Although the they worked perfect for me, Id always test with at least another one or two different brands for confirmation. Otherwise go to the doctor for a blood test. Good luck.

If the dark line is on the test line (not the control line), it generally means that the test result is so strong that it has stripped dye from the control line which is an indicator of high HCG levels.

You probably have received a bunch of faulty tests showing false positives like most of us have.

My false positive results just looked like a faint straight pink line - I did 2 tests that looked like this. What you're describing sounds like possible indentations. It depends how dark the line is though. I would suggest doing another test to be sure. I found the digital ones most reliable. Hope this helps!

Thanks. It's weird it's a dark bumpy line on top of a faint pink line...

I would say you are not pregnant, but if you are feeling unwell go and see your doctor.

Hi! I'm no expert but as far as I understand if there are two, sure lines it doesn't matter if the "test" line is lighter than the control line. Two lines means a positive test. If you can bear to wait (I know it's difficult to wait - I totally understand), test again in two days with first morning urine, and you'll know! All the very best!
