Broken lines on easy@home cheapies?

Cali

Disclaimer that this is not a “look at how pregnant I am” picture. I posted something similar a few months ago and people thought I was bragging about getting an obvious positive but I was not pregnant (and know it wasn’t a chemical because I have not had a period since delivering my first child so I definitely would have noticed bleeding and not assumed it was just a period). Has anyone else had this issue with easy@home tests? In April I got multiple partial lines that lol very convincing, but if you look closely the line does not connect, there is a gap in the middle. I complained and they sent me another box and I had a few in that box with the same issue. I had not had any issues with this current box. On Saturday I thought I had a faint bfp on a FRER, but all FRER and a million other tests have been negative since then. I took another easy@home earlier today and totally negative. Then because I’m addicted i went ahead and was going to take one more. I got a partial line. So I thought maybe the bottom of this box was damaged or something and took another to see if it would have the same issue. Got another broken line. And another. Dipped one in plain water and no broken line. So I tried another and got another broken line. The broken line tests here are all from the same cup of urine. The vertical test is the H2O. My brain knows these aren’t positive because I had the exact same issue before with the broken tests and know they weren’t positve, but since I had the questionable FrER earlier this week my heart wants to think there’s a chance it means something. 😩 Has anyone else experienced these broken lines and what was the outcome?
