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?

That was two days ago for me too holzy.

Where abouts in your cycle are you? I feel like AF is coming and I have spotting but nothing real so far.

This is my first one out the case. I did think it was too strong/pink for it to be a false.

But the FRER was negative yesterday.

So you turned out to be pregnant HbH?

See I have had ones without the line. It's always my afternoon wee that gives those.

🙋🏻 I'm in the dodgy superdrug test club too! Did a test yesterday morning and got vertical lines in both windows but also a horizontal streak through both, so did the second test and no line in either window... total dud!! No exactly cheapo either fir a non branded, tut tut!

Chamonix1 · 27/03/2017 09:00

You're probably right, I'm sorry you went through all that it must be horrible.

Not that I'm disbelieving chemical pregnancies! Just that I think a duff test could be the reason sometimes.

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.

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

BaxterStockboy · 26/03/2017 11:40

Sorry to hear that. Evaps are bloody evil!

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.

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.

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

SillySausage34 · 26/03/2017 08:03

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)

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

Watch this space!

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.

Misssmoo · 26/03/2017 07:55

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

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.

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

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.

Blerg · 25/03/2017 17:41

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.

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!
