Clear Blue

So, this morning I went to test. I held the stick under my urine stream and placed it on my counter. I waited three minutes and nothing happened. I then grabbed a cup and dipped the absorbent stick for 5 seconds and the test finally worked. Does this mean that it was a bad test? I know the first time I tried I did POS. I checked and the cap had moisture. Opinions to what it could have been?
