I did the test at home and instead of a clear line the control window just showed something weird, matlab no proper line. Does invalid mean the kit is faulty or did I do something wrong? thoda confused hu, should I just buy another one?
To put it simply, invalid means the control line (C) is missing. This usually happens if the kit is expired or the urine didn't absorb properly. Keep a spare kit at home to save a quick run to the chemist.
Invalid is when the kit fails to show the control line. Honestly, cheap kits can be super unreliable. Just get a digital one from a good brand and use your first morning pee for a clear result.
Haha, I was so sleep deprived that I dropped the kit in the mug once and got an invalid error. Basically, if the control line is blank, the test is ruined. Just grab another kit and try to pee straight this time!
Honestly, an invalid test means either no lines showed up at all, or only the test line appeared without the control line. It usually happens if the kit is faulty or if u didn't use enough drops. Just take a deep breath and try again tomorrow morning.
I remember getting an invalid result once and panic set in. It just means the control line didn't show up, so the test didn't run properly. Don't stress, just buy a fresh kit and try again calmly.
Beta, invalid test means the plastic kit is not working properly. Relax your mind, drink some warm water and try testing again with a fresh kit tomorrow morning when you wake up.
