Took a test and instead of clear lines it showed invalid, now im totally confused. Does invalid lean towards positive or it just means the test failed? should i just take a fresh one?
No, invalid doesnt mean positive at all. It just means the test didnt work properly, maybe not enough urine or a faulty kit. Take a fresh test with morning urine and read it in the right time window.
Invalid means the control line didnt show, so the result cant be read either way. Its not positive or negative, just unusable. My doctor said retest with a new kit, and if still unsure do a blood test for clarity.
Invalid just means try again, dont read into it. Use a new test, preferably first thing in the morning, and follow the timing on the instructions exactly. If results keep being unclear, get a blood test done.
This happened to me once and I panicked thinking it meant something. Turns out the kit was just faulty, the second one gave a clear result. So no, invalid is not a positive, just redo it.
