HPT - does the line appear immediately?

[LouiseB]

I was just wondering... You know when you pee on the stick and i presume the urine travels up it.

Would a positive line appear as soon as the liquid reaches where the line would be or do you have to let the liquid fill the whole testing/control area and then leave it to develop for the 2-3 minutes or so before anything would appear?

If ur af is late then it often appears immediately but if testin early it can take a few minutes to show up,if it shows up within the time frame and has def colour to it then it's a bfp,no matter how faint xxx

Yep I agree, the more of the pregnancy hormone that is present then the quicker and darker the line appears

Ah ok thanks I was wondering whether to watch it or hide it and check after the time like I've seen some people do.

I'll think I'll just watch it then when I test after AF.

I just watch it... and watch it... and watch it... until I feel crossed eyed and can't look at it anymore!! lol!!
Best of luck when you test LouiseB!
