I tinkered with a test and caused an evap line, right?

Af is due tomorrow. There is a chance I could be pregnant so I took a test first thing. I thought it was faulty because the control line didn't come up. Normally these are really quick. Saw a couple hours later the control line had worked and there was a bit of a line where the test is. But it was much later than specified test window so must be an evap? It is barely there. I also tinkered with it and took it apart so that further invalidates the whole thing. I know I need to get another once. I just need sensible people to help me manage my expectations.

I can see a line in both! Looks like you're pregnant to me! Congratulations.

I have had very similar results with clear blue. Here's two of my tests





I find them so difficult to interpret

@namechangesitu

A FRER is a First Response Early Response test and will give you a clearer line if you are indeed pregnant and this close to your AF, it wouldn't really matter what time you test.

They don't sell them in supermarkets but you can get them off Amazon and from boots and some other pharmacists.

Just make sure you buy 'Early Response' not 'Rapid Response' they are easily confused.

Hope its a BFP for you x

Okay, thanks. I will get first response test. A couple of years ago I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks so feel very cautious especially with such faint lines. Thank you all so much.

Eek this is making me smile. Best of luck @Namechangesitu!

I see a line second photo too. Try and get a first response test, you can Amazon Prime them easy enough. Theyre alot easier to read than blue dyes. Digitals need a fair bit hcg so they can take a bit longer to throw a positive

Thanks everyone. Thanks for editing @MissSM9102

I think I need to do a test first thing in morning. This second test was taken this afternoon.

That looks like my early test. I'm now 27 weeks.

SortYourLifeHelp · 26/02/2021 15:40

I hate Clear Blue, they give out crappy lines even when you're not pregnant. And I'm the LAST to say it looks positive.

However in this instance, I'd very tentatively say I think they are both positive.

Have you got one for first thing in the morning?

That's what a test will be at its strongest.

HPmagic · 26/02/2021 15:39

I can see the line op Congratulations 🥳

MissSM9102 · 26/02/2021 15:38

Have edited it for you OP, looks like a line to me!

It does look like you're pregnant. Is that what you're hoping for?

NewMumma1819 · 26/02/2021 15:36

I can see a line too on the second test!

If it is positive and it sticks then it can only be good news. I thought it was too late for me.

I mean, biologically speaking this is possible. My rational mind tells me this. It just seems so unlikely because of my age.

I will get a digital one to test again in few days and try not to get attached to an outcome either way.

You’re pregnant.

Is that good news or bad news?

What is FRER? I am 40 years old but I don't know much. I have no children...

Susanthepig · 26/02/2021 15:27

I seem have another very faint line... perhaps too faint to count

A line is a line.
