Pregnancy test

I took this test about an hour ago. Proceeded to drink about 30oz of water so I can take another test and there is zero detection of a line. The faint positive got me very excited and now I’m crushed at the negative after. How likely is it that this was a false positive?

I’ve heard there’s was no such thing as a false positive but I’m not sure, retake it first thing in the morning

On a red dye test unlikely.

HCG is diluted when you drink. The first being this faint then drinking will mean it's too weak to be detected.

Only test with first morning urine that's most concentrated.

Drinking loads of water and then retesting means your HCG would be more diluted. Only test with FMU, wait until tomorrow

Water dilutes HCG so that will be why it’s fainter. You’ve got to use first morning urine, or, 5 hour hold with only small sips of water
