So I’m due AF In 4 days I tested yesterday which would be 5 days before with a clear blue early detection and seen a very faint line.. that was testing about 3pm took another this morning which is 4 days before at 7 am and got the very thin blue line.... but it is darker but very thin? I am sooo tired and boobs so sore and i feel ‘travel sick’ and have done for 3 days which is why I tested I’ve totally got my hopes up but have read lots about evaporation lines!

@Laurxxo ive had different experiences of chemicals one I didn't bleed until after the next chemical :( so over 8 weeks with no bleed. Dr told me sometimes when it's early the body can just reabsorb it. Others I bled before negatives others I had negatives then had to wait for a bleed. I'm so sorry you're going through this 💕

Hi ladies me again😂

Little update.
Still haven’t come on my period I’m exactly 8 days past my period due date.
And I am 22DPO!

I done a clear blue digital on Sunday 23rd for a pregnant 1-2 weeks.
4 days later took another and it was not pregnant.

Still no sign of period at all.
I’ve got every pregnancy symptoms
Sore boobs
Boobs got bigger and darker
Backache
VERY VERY MOODY as my other half says😂
And constantly hungry
Urine is very very yellow! (Sorry) haha.

Doctor adviced me to do a test in a weeks time so gotta do one Thursday as that’s when she mentioned it.

Can someone please get back to me I’m worrying so much :( xx

& someone said if I was having a chemical pregnancy I would be bleeding and in pain?

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 17:28

@Mummmyy any idea why it takes so long if there's no medical conditions?
It's a mystery for me :))

Mummmyy · 27/05/2021 17:09

Sorry the app says my fertile window begins next thurs not ovulation.. xx

Mummmyy · 27/05/2021 17:08

Thank you @alexalexalex18 I know I dtd everyday of my fertile window and 1 day after been trying since December it took me a year to get pregnant with my daughter hope it doesnt take as long this time around so just to clarify sorry lol I want the line to be as dark or darker than the test line and start testing 4-5 days before my fertile window thank you...xx

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 16:58

Also remember @Mummmyy if you're trying to conceive it works better if you try before the ovulation day in the fertile period, not just on that specific day.

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 16:54

@Mummmyy usually ovulation happens around 14 days from your first day of period.
I would trust the strips more than the app.

I have 2 different apps and I test when they say I'm on my fertile days.
One is one day earlier than the other.

If you say the app says ovulation starts next Thurday I would start testing 4-5 days before it.

Mummmyy · 27/05/2021 16:28

@alexalexalex18 my fertile window is next thur according to my apps so does the light line mean that my fertile window is sooner than next week thank you I just finished my period on tues..xx

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 15:11

@Mummmyy the line next to MAX should be as dark or darker than the right line for you to be close to ovulating. When it's as dark or darker, then your body tarts to ovulate in the next 12 to 24h or even earlier, depends.

Your light line can mean that you're either at the beginning of your fertile window, close to ovulation day, or at the end. Check your period app and use a strip each day!

Mummmyy · 27/05/2021 15:05

@alexalexalex18 it could be an evaporation line in would test the day of missed period or test with a pink dye test 2 days before missed period...xx

Mummmyy · 27/05/2021 15:03

Hi ladies so I just took an ovulation test how dark should the line be how do I interpret this any advice would be great thanks...xxx

Hey @Laurxxo, sent you a message with a wetransfer link to a photo of my test, as I can't add any yet being a new member.

Mine has a dark blue thin line on the left and some light blue smudged to its right, very faint.

Laurxxo · 27/05/2021 14:03

Laurxxo · 27/05/2021 14:02

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 12:48

Hey @mummmyy, thanks for replying!
Mine has a little faint blue dye streak on the right side of the line, it looks like it wanted to be thicker but just coloured on the left side.

I'll test again in a few days, just to be sure.

Mummmyy · 27/05/2021 12:40

Hi @alexalexalex18 unfortunately it does sound like a evaporation line u aren't supposed to read them after 10 mins evaporation line can also have colour If u go back a page u will see my evaporation line hopefully u could still be pregnant i would wait a few days and retest with a pink dye I find blue dye tests unreliable...x

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 11:44

Unfortunately I just joined so I can't post any photos for 48h.
Just wondering if a later blue thin line result actually ended up to be a positive test a few days later for any of you.

alexalexalex18 · 27/05/2021 11:42

Hello girls,

I took a test today, 4 days before my 1st day of period (it always comes later though) and First response showed nothing, Clearblue same, then I checked the clearblue one later and it showed a faint blue line.
Are evaporation lines grey?
