LOL- is it legit?

That people tweak tests? Yes, Buzzfeed is about a decade behind on that one. Is tweaking tests legit? No. If you can't read it in regular light at a reasonable distance with your regular vision, it's not really positive.

I'm going to FFFC that my first positive I sent a pic to my friend because I was in utter disbelief and thought I may be making it up in my head and she tweaked it and sent it to me and there was a visible line. And it was positive. When I looked at the test later (like beyond the timeframe) the line was much more visible in person but within the timeframe it really wasn't.

I see both sides of it honestly. People tweaking tests doesn't bother me. To each their own. As long as someone doesn't start a BC tweaking thread here I really don't GAF.

I'm with you on this. My first line on a wondfo was super, super faint and only got dark enough to be sure of after the time limit. My FRER line was definitely there in the time limit but also very faint. I inverted the colors on Fertility Friend (yup, even they have that option), and I could see the lines.

Some of the people in a FB group I'm in like to tweak tests and while I don't participate, usually the results are valid. Negative tests are still negative, and faint positives become more clear. The only thing about it that's tough is we've had quite a few chemical pregnancies or early miscarriages and I feel like the whole posting for the group and tweaking and making a big deal of it can't make that easier.
