Three evaporation lines?!

32 replies

I feel like I’m losing my ability to be rational!

I’ve taken three pregnancy tests, two Clear Blue (on the 1st and 2nd of January) and this morning a First Response and each have resulted in a real squinter. If it was just one, I’d have dismissed it as an evaporation line but three has me unsure... has anyone else had any experience of this? Are these lines so common? My period isn’t due until tomorrow (and I’ll obviously test tomorrow AM), but I’m almost expecting another evaporation line at this stage...

I had a very early miscarriage, I think I was about 4+6 when I started bleeding. If I’d not been testing, I’d just have thought it a late period. Ended up having a successful pregnancy later in the year though.

Where you pregnant?

Hey @MrsMcNtobe thanks for checking in. I had a negative clear blue digital this morning, so think it’s probably a chemical pregnancy and waiting for my period to start. Just one of those things I guess. Hope you’re feeling ok, and the next nine months are a breeze x

@Guineapiggiesmalls hey how are you? Any sign of AF or any BFP symptoms?

It was due yesterday. Think i might give it a bit of a break for a day or two (especially since buying more pregnancy tests doesn't seem like essential shopping!) and then test again at the end of the week.

Huge congratulations to you @MrsMcNTobe

Feel like I’m heading towards a chemical pregnancy with this ‘line’, very frustrating.

MrsMcNtobe · 04/01/2021 16:57

@lockdownbabyx I didn’t want to leave the house because it’s so icy but I knew I had clearblue hidden away but everyone says they’re not sensitive enough etc but I thought try anyway and ......

@MrsMcNtobe I def see a line on the FR test! Keep testing if you can and see if there is progression, if not wait a few days and do another x

ChinChilly · 04/01/2021 14:12

@LividLovely eurgh if so, that makes 2 in a row 🤔

LividLovely · 04/01/2021 14:02

That’s a chemical. I’m sorry.

ChinChilly · 04/01/2021 13:58

@LividLovely I tested on the 1st it was a squinter then again on the 2nd and it was negative that’s when the spotting started so just assumed AF was on the way so didn’t test again

LividLovely · 04/01/2021 13:53

Have you tested? If there’s a squinter it’s positive, but needs to get darker over time if it’s going to stick.

ChinChilly · 04/01/2021 13:07

@LividLovely fairly sure I had a chemical last cycle, this cycle I’ve had spotting for 3 days literally just when I wipe for 3 days and still no real period

LividLovely · 04/01/2021 12:42

Yes, you can spot and still be pregnant (I bled like a period for less than two days) or spot and it be a chemical (had two).

Hope you get good news.

ChinChilly · 04/01/2021 12:41

@MrsMcNtobe oh wow ok, I’ve never had any to be fair up until this cycle and every test I’ve taken has had an ‘evap line’ this time. Wierd...just have to wait and see if AF starts up properly

MrsMcNtobe · 04/01/2021 12:39

@ChinChilly as in any line means positive and there’s no such thing as evap lines... really don’t know if I believe that but it’s given me a little bit of hope!

ChinChilly · 04/01/2021 12:38

@MrsMcNtobe 100% not real as in, a line is a positive or as in an evap is not a real line? I’ve had 3 this cycle and have just been spotting for the last 3 days

MrsMcNtobe · 04/01/2021 12:18

@LividLovely I read something a few weeks ago saying evap lines are 100% not real but I can’t even find the website anymore!

LividLovely · 04/01/2021 11:31

Those aren’t evaps.

They’re early positives.

I believe that the people who claim to have evaps have had early chemicals.

Congratulations, now see if they get stronger over the next few days.

MrsMcNtobe · 04/01/2021 11:20

@Guineapiggiesmalls I definitely see a line! This is so amazing, congratulations! Xx

ChinChilly · 04/01/2021 10:56

@Guineapiggiesmalls I can see a line on this mornings test and as long as it came up within the time frame, i would say it is positive! How many dpo are you?

Tentative congratulations 🎉

My three tests, with the oldest at the top. I think I was hoping for a more concrete result, and these tests haven't given me that. I'd just like to know either way really! Plus, a bonus photo of this morning's test...

@MrsMcNtobe I definitely see a positive result there, congratulations!
