This is an evap line, isn’t it?

So, my period is a few days late and my boobs are killing me like they never normally do before my period. I’m not 100% sure how many days late I really am as my periods vary in length somewhat (always later in august too for some reason as it’s holiday time and that sends them out of whack for me) and I’m not trying to conceive so haven’t tracked anything. I’m on CD36 though and my periods have been 28-33 days over the last year.

Anyway, took a clear blue and it was reassuringly negative. It won’t be the end of the world if I’m pregnant but would be a shock. I left it on the side and over an hour later came downstairs again to see there was a distinct blue line. I always thought evaps were grey. So, wise mumsnetters, is there any chance this is a real positive or is it just a blue evap line?

I'm having the same kind of issue! I've tried multiple different brand tests and I'm getting a faint line on all tests but very faint. My af is due in 2 days so I'm not sure what's going on. All pregnancy's before weather they have been successful or not have always been faint lines on the day my period was due.

Hold out a couple of days and do another clear blue or frer.
Digitalis didn't work for me until I was a full week late

Do another today. I think that’s positive but obviously you can’t be sure. Hope it’s the result you want.

backtoworkigooo · 12/08/2021 07:49

It's quite a definitive line to show as an evap after the time limit

LouiseBelchersBunnyEars · 11/08/2021 21:31

I agree, I’d try a digital one

mamamalt · 11/08/2021 21:29

Since your period is probably already late (or later than usual).I would just go straight to trying a digital to save all your wondering. Maybe with first wee tomorrow?
Good luck !

@GrrRightBackAtYou I know you’re right, but this really startled me as I’ve done a lot of pregnancy tests in my time that were negative and none have ever turned positive later on. This looks very like the real positive I got several years ago when I was pregnant with my son, but that came up immediately. I didn’t test until a week after my period was due though and have no real idea how late my current period is or isn’t.

You can’t read it as a positive as the line came up after the time specified to read the results.
You will have to retest in a couple of days using FMU & read the test in the time as per instructions.

hayley013 · 11/08/2021 20:43

I would take that as a positive

GemGEmGemster · 11/08/2021 20:43

I think that’s a positive

Tiredtiredtired100 · 11/08/2021 20:40

@backtoworkigooo even though it was well outside of the timeframe?

My positive had a thin line like that, I'd say you're pregnant
