question on relaxin

I understand how the test works and how to read it.

I figure we are between day 28 - 30.
first five minutes the activating line appeared.
I waited the 10 minutes and the second line did not appear, but at 15 minutes a faint second line did appear.

Does the second line always appear the longer it sits?
or would this line only appear if pregnant.

It happened to me once and she had a singleton

I know the insert says it can detect pregnancy this soon, but having false negatives with BIG litters (9-12 pups!) at day 30, I now wait until 31 days after the LAST breeding (which is usually 4 days post ovuation). Mine have been accurate every time when I wait this long.

Re: question on relaxin

guess what I am trying to figure out is when you let the test sit, even a false reading.

will the second line fill in anyways over to time? or will it only fill in if it is positive?

preggers?

i had the test ran on my girl at day 25, and it was positive, not a real dark line, but you could see if right away. my girl is due sept 20. she is a good size, and has a couple weeks to go.

also, i had a test on one of my girls last year, and it was negative, i waited a week later (app 32 days) and it was positive. she only had 2 puppies.

i do not believe a line will appear on a negative test.

Re: question on relaxin

I have never had a test that I run, which came out negative, develop a 2nd line with time.

Re: question on relaxin

so I guess that means she should be pregnant.
time will tell :O)
