What the fuck is this?

I’m due AF today. She usually arrives in the morning, preceeded by a lot of cramping for a few days. I’ve had the odd cramp but nothing like normal. Only other ‘symptom’ is really bloody sore boobs.


Took this test this morning while I wait for some FRER’s to arrive. Came up within the time limit.

What in God’s name is this? Evap? Weird positive? a line that’s been on a diet? I’d actually been willing AF to start to we can can start fertility testing but now I’ve been presented with the weirdest looking test I’ve ever seen.

What the fuck is this?

Isn't it just a standard positive test? Confused

Actually ignore me, it needs a cross in the big window to be positive doesn't it? Isn't the single line there just to say it worked?

Marmalade I don’t think so. The line is very very skinny and slightly off centre.

Looks like an evap line to me as it doesn’t seem to have any colour

Could be a flooded test. I had one once like that, line too far to one side and it was flooded. Think you'll have to wait til the frer arrives for a definitive answer. Good luck hun

I think that's an evap line too

It's very thin and wonky

Try another test

And settle down with the shock-horror dramatic post. It's a pregnancy test OP not the chestburster scene from Alien. Confused

I'd try another test but when I had my bfp it was an off centre skinny line like that (albeit a lot darker than yours but I was 2 days late by then), I did a digital to confirm. Good luck!

Thevanguard when you’ve been ttc for over a year and have had a miscarriage, any line on a pregnancy test is shocking. I don’t need to be told to settle down, thanks. Why can’t people just resist commenting if they have negative things to say? I didn’t ask for opinions on my reaction, just the test I posted.

Oh my god vang. There is no need to be so fucking vile. This is the last place to post such insensitive crap. Wind it in.
OP sorry you had to read that. As it’s early I’d say that might be a BFP. Like someone else said grab a digi x Flowers

OP what should I positive look like?

Thevanguard I’m sorry that you’ve struggled for a long time and for you loss, that must have even unimaginable difficult for you. As stated in my OP, I am waiting for a delivery of FRER as I don’t live somewhere where I can access a shop which has them and will be testing when they arrive. I’m sorry if you think my post was over dramatic but I maintain that any second line when TTC for a long time is shocking, especially when it’s weird looking and not something you’ve encountered before. I’ve since searched the test brand and it seems that thin lines are usually evaporation lines but I don’t feel like my post was invalid

Looks strange. I agree with the others, get a pink dye test as the blue ones are notorious for evaps and other weirdness.

And can people not be horrible to posters asking genuine questions. TTC is an emotional time for people especially when it’s been a long term thing. Everyone deals with this their own way and everyone’s way is the right way for them.

@Justwaitingforaline you’ve got nothing to apologise for.
You can ask wtf you want to ask and shouldn’t have to expect nasty responses.

@TheVanguardSix

Your own experience, though tragic, doesnt mean its ok to be nasty to other people.

Post what you want op. There was morning wrong with your op.

I really hope this is your month, but I'd try really hard to not think about until you get the FRER. I've seen lines like this on these tests and not been pregnant; I've also had positives on them and they do look quite different - thicker and bluer (even while they're still faint). I really hope this is an early positive for you but personally I wouldn't trust it yet.

Malapropist · 19/10/2017 11:41

How frustrating for you OP! I really hope it is a BFP for you but, for sanity’s sake I would assume it’s an evap and then test again tomorrow (or as soon as you can get another test / your FRER).

Keeping everything crossed for you! Let us know!

Wow I didn’t realise that ttc was a competition. I’m sorry for your loss, Vanguard but no need to belittle someone just because they’ve not been trying as long as you. This isn’t the place for negativity and nastiness.

justwaiting I do see a line but I wouldn’t trust those blue dyes as far as I could throw them lol maybe try a FR? :)

An off-centre skinny line like that on those tests is almost invariably an evap in my experience, I'm afraid.

Hope it works out op, update after the frer is delivered!
