Evap line or pregnancy?

43 replies

Posting here for traffic. Name changed for obvious reasons.

took a Superdrug test yesterday, one day before missed period. Waited 2 minute no.

Later saw a line I assumed evap’ no period still and then read the pack again that said wait 5 minutes.

Should I buy another test? Or are we thinking evap?

I have just taken this picture of yesterday test.

Get a better one, like a FRER.

@NameChangeOmMN hello lovely, did you do another test today? Xx

Not yet no, we’ve been at an event this morning so haven’t had chance to pick one up yet. Was going to get one later but thinking of waiting until tomorrow morning to test. I’m one day late today.

Hi guys, I’m currently 21 days late on my period I have taken a test and I’m not sure? But also stuck on what to do next?

This particular type of test are apparently notoriously bad for evaps. The line also looks quite thin and you'd likely have a dye stealer if af is 3 weeks late. Do you have another brand you could try? Xx

21 DPO or 21 days late? Did the line appear within 3-5 minutes?

It could be positive but they can also go like this when left more than an hour or two to dry....the only way to know if do another one! Good luck!

That’s what I was thinking it was a good three hours later.

I think I’m just trying not to get my hopes up too much!

I found the Superdrug tests took a lot longer than 5mins to show a positive. I binned mine as I thought they were negative at around 10DPO. Fished them out hours later and had a positive. Bought a different brand and tested a few days later and it was positive within seconds. It’s likely to be positive but test with another brand as well to be 100%

I would take another test. I’ve personally never gotten a line that wasn’t a real line.

Do you think? I took it about 7am it was negative. I seen it again about 11ish. That’s why I thought evap line. That photograph was from tonight. Gosh it would be so exciting! Wish I had read the package and waited the 5 minutes now 🤦🏻‍♀️
