So late afternoon I took an OPK which was very very close to + for these ICs. (I have a pic, but it won't let me upload from the site) This tempted me to take an HPT, all I had was a FRER. I took the FRER, then took apart my FRER, after thinking I might be seeing something faint within the time limit... When I took it out of it's casing I could see a definite pink line, faint but there. I have pics, don't worry. But it wasn't there, at least not as visible as it became after being out of it's case for like a minute. Since I opened the case before the time limit was up, should I assume that opening the case might have made a false + line, or that the test finished developing normally, and the line continued to appear for the duration of the time limit?
This is driving me a bit crazy, at the moment.

To complicate matters, this prompted me to foolishly go forth and spend $ on more tests, and of course couldn't wait to see what happens today but took one last night. The second test was a clearblue easy +/-. From what I hear many people think these type of tests are the devil. But I used one cause it was cheaper than wasting a FRER. I thought if I see anything that looks + I will then use a FRER to double check. So yeah, within a couple minutes I saw a faint blue something. However it was quite faint indeed. So faint, I figure I must count it BFN. So I throw it in a drawer and this AM there is a wide, very visible blue line. I know the rule about not counting + after the time limit! However, does the bit that I saw something there before the time limit, count in that it could have continued to darken? This CBE was taken using very dilute pee, almost clear (which was all I had). Would that explain the very very faint line at the time, again darkening later? It is a wide blue line IRL -I can see the whole line. I did NOT take apart this CBE. I do have a pic though. Sorry it's a bit blurry; kids are very needy today.

These are the first clear, for sure color lines I have seen, from those who have seen my pics of lines the last few days, which are visible only to me, LOL.
The end game of all this is that temp tanked today and AF arrived this morning. I have more tests but it seems pointless to take one now, though I am curious to what it may show, if anything. It is interesting that I now seem to have a 13 day LP instead of 11-12, which has always been my pattern. So does any of this indicate that this might have been a chemical pregnancy (God Forbid), or should I chalk up the lines to faulty tests, and opening a FRER?
TIA. I appreciate your insight, ladies.
p.s. now that I realize, if just opening the test would give a pink line, then wouldn't it have done so for the FRER I took a few days ago? I also opened that test, seeing some kind of line, but wasn't sure if it had color. Upon opening and after putting back together I could see it pretty clear, but more gray than pink. Compare the pic I showed you guys (see the 'I'm probably crazy' thread) of that test line. This most recent one is definitely pink.

100% sorry 
I just wonder if the new FRERs have issues?
except when I have been pg.
