Are Superdrug's tests known for their evaps? Pic included.

Took a test this morning and a pink line came up within the time limit. It was with very concentrated urine thanks to my mild hangover of rosè last night Blush

I did another a FRER work this afternoon after many cups of tea and water and it's a stark BFN.

I wonder if the Superdrug one was an evap.

Any experience or opinions?

Is there 2 extra lines?

Positive. I'd wait a day or two and do a FRER but looks promising to me!

Aren't evap lines normally grey? That line has a pink colour to it so I would say it's a positive.

I'm positive that's a positive. Evap lines aren't pink, they're grey.

Sorry, posted too soon. Meant to say that's why it's difficult to tell with a blue lined one and why people say buy a pink one.

After a short google, it's seems that pink evaps on Superdrug tests do indeed happen.
Perhaps the negative FRER was correct.

I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow now.

I hate waiting.

It def looks positive but check just to be sure xxx

Uh-oh, think AF might be coming. Just popped to the loo and it isn't looking good for the above to be a true positive.

This happened to me years ago with my youngest. It seems that no matter what test I make very clear false positives. I've had to with IC's, CB, FRER and now Superdrug!

I thought I might be pregnant recently and found v faint lines on Superdrug tests. It wasn't showing on other tests and eventually my period came.

Hope you get the outcome you want. Soon if not now.

Thanks Blerg were they like mine?

I'm on the Prosecco now and resigning myself to the fact that it is indeed an evap.
Especially my extensive experience with them.

Update - it was an evap. Very negative FRER this morning.

Sorry to hear that Flowers yes, mine were like that but appeared outside the test period. But that happened with DS so I wasn't sure what to think.

My Superdrug tests have lines like that two full days before the frer showed a line (all tests done at the same time using the same wee)

That's shocking I would complain to super drug seems alot of people are getting false positives xx

I found superdrug tests to be more sensitive than other tests. I got early positives with both my DC, and the tests looked just like yours does. I wouldn't write it off yet.

Oh wow that's interesting. I will wait and test if AF doesnt show up then.

Watch this space!

Superdrug tests are a bastard.
I got evap on several tests over a few days. I wasn't pregnant. When I complained there response read as "oh well"
Stick with frer

From here and Google its one of two things. The Superdrug tests show up earlier than a FRER and the Superdrug was correct.

Or it's an evil evap (and my, it's evil. It's so clear in RL).

So I will get a test on Monday morning if AF hasn't come.

I will update.

Well. A glutton for punishment, I couldn't sit on my hands until tomorrow because I had to drop a card to a friends house which meant walking passed Superdrug

Obviously I bought a Superdrug test.

BFN.

I've had exactly the same with Superdrug tests. Sorry to hear it's happening to others. I won't touch them now.

I had another 'bfp' this morning on the Superdrug test. I didnt believe it at all, and rightly so because I went for a wee an hour later just for AF to arrive.

I'm sure a lot of these 'chemical' pregnancies are just shit tests.
