Experience with Action test

Has anyone had experience with Action tests? I've never had one before and I'm wondering if faint lines show up? I'm 4 days before my expected period and took a test because I've been feeling weird.. I wouldn't call what I see a line, but the test isn't completely white like I'm used to with other tests. It looks white at first glance, but if you look closely and the lighting isn't too dark or too bright, you can see a kind of faint line. Maybe it could be a very early line, but I think it's even too light for 4 days before my expected period... with my previous pregnancy, I tested 4 days before and it was quite clear (though with a different brand). I'd love to hear your experiences with Action tests.

    I have exactly the same thing... so I tested again this morning with tests other than Action and didn't see a single line, pretty frustrating.

    Do you have a picture of your test? I'll add a picture of mine

    Hi! Yes, mine looks exactly like that, but I have to really try to make it visible in the photo, so maybe yours is even clearer in real life than mine... Where are you in your cycle? I just took another test, now from Kruidvat, I read that these should be more sensitive. But even there, a faint shadow line that you can only see in the right light, but with difficulty. I'm now at 12 dpo and think that such a shadow line is really too faint...

    Action tests are also always used here. They're just reliable, really! But they seem to be very sensitive, so maybe that's why the other tests are (still) negative? Which tests have you done?

    I use the Action tests. They often show a faint line that looks grayish. If it's really pink, you can call it positive. Good luck!!

    I got my period today, so unfortunately, it didn't work out. Too bad. I'm curious how it's going for you, Gall?

    I've had a lot of false positives before; they always show such a faint second line. I trust these Kruidvat ones more (€2.50 for 5).

    I'm still not on my period... but also no clear positive test
    Did a test this morning from Kruidvat 2 for 5. And as soon as I pulled it out of the drawer, I saw an evaporation line again... anyone here has experience with Kruidvat tests?

    When I put the photo here, you can barely see it at all

    Gall, that's negative unfortunately...

    @Gall: The tests you posted here with the (early, I assume?) from Action, I also had today.
    I measured 4.4 hcg in my blood.
    Worth it to not give up hope just yet. Just like me.

    Just did the same test today, and I'm wondering if this is an evaporation line..

    Can I see a faint line on your last Kruidvat test, but since you tested on 30/08 and it's still not dark, I'm afraid.

    How long did it take for you to see this line? When is your due date? How many days are you overdue?
    I think it's a pretty good 'beginning' line actually…
    With me, I think I was pregnant for just a very short time because I was 9 days overdue and then got my period.

    Let me know, super curious!

    With myself, I think I was pregnant for just a very short time, because I was 9 days late and then got my period.

    Let me know, super curious!

    This line appeared after about 4 minutes..
    It's very hard to say if I'm overdue because my cycles are very irregular..

    I do have some bleeding, but there's a thick red positive line from the Action. Has anyone experienced this?

  16. GEMMA #17

    I had a few positive tests and then an early miscarriage.

    I also did some Action tests with very little urine late in the evening, so it was diluted, and I'm already on day 34 with a faint line. With another brand, Clairivo, the line got much lighter even though it's been 6 days before my expected period. Now I just tested again and there's a more visible line.
