What does it mean if I see a faint second line (test line) but its after the 10 minute cutoff?

Pregnancy tests, Ovulation Predictor Kits and FertilMARQ Spe...
A true positive will usually show up within the first couple of minutes. It could be what is sometimes called an "evaporation line". Generally, evaporation lines are light gray, shadowy lines and any pregnancy test can have this occur. It is when a faint test line appears AFTER the 10 minute time limit. This brand of test does not seem to have a problem with evaporation lines although no brand can say that it will never happen.

The Test Line is very faint, what does this mean?

Clearview - FAQ
Samples containing 5 – 25 mIU/ml hCG may produce weak positive results. In such cases a repeat test is recommended 48 to 72 hours later. However, provided the Control Line is present a weak positive should be recorded as a valid positive result. The presence of the Test Line in the Result Window indicates a positive result, regardless of its intensity compared to the Control Line.

How come I always have a faint line in the test result window? Does this indicate a problem?

My ParenTime | Features-Ovulation Predictor Kit FAQ
We always have LH in our systems, so the test can pick it up. Most of the tests don't show a full positive result until 25-40 mIU, but many will show a faint line with LH levels over 10 mIU. If your result line often has significant color, you should consider trying another brand. If you still get a significant line, you should consider having your doctor test your LH levels on the third day of your next cycle to see if your hormone levels are elevated.

Why does my child need a second TB skin test in 10 weeks?

FAQS About TB for Parents & Guardians of Central Falls H...
The TB skin test can be falsely negative (e.g., show no reaction) in students who may have been infected recently (in the past several weeks). The TB germ grows slowly and your body’s immune system takes time to react to it. Therefore, when screening students who have been recently exposed to a person with active TB, you need to repeat the TB skin test 10 weeks later to be sure that you have not been infected with TB.
