Is this an evaporation line or indent?

Currently 11dpo and had a stressful 2 months.

July ended in a chemical and last month very positive lines on tests getting progressively darker only to suddenly disappear and AF appeared a week later, so probably another chemical.

I'm 43 so odds against me at my age. Did this test today. Had zero symptoms so far, except sore boobs, but feels like period sore boobs.

I can see a faint line but not sure if it's colourless? Did another FRER last Friday and was stark white??

I can't add a photo but don't know if this link will work:

Hi @ShoeBun77 I'm sorry to hear about your chemicals. I think your lines look fine for 13dpo. Mine didn't start properly getting darker until 15dpo and beyond. Best of luck getting through the next few days and fingers crossed that this is a sticky one

I think that looks a bit stronger actually. I'd say that was positive?

So I've done another FRER this morning which I think looks a bit lighter than yesterday's, it's certainly no darker which it should be. I'm thinking it's probably another chemical, but given this will be the 3rd in 3 months, does anyone have any experience of why this keeps happening? My age? Have had initial bloods with GP which shows I'm ovulating and not pre menopausal?

Thank you all so much for replying. Its been a stressful 2 months with the past 2 chemicals so as hard as it is, I'll just have to wait it out and hope 🤞

Yes I did another test today, I've put the link to the picture below, if it works?

Its darker and pinker (hard to pick up in a photo as it's so dark this morning!) But I've been here before in July and August, so can't get excited 😢

Did you try again @ShoeBun77? It looked positive to me!

Ginghamize · 13/09/2021 22:06

I think that's a positive

Noodella18 · 13/09/2021 22:02

Fingers crossed. I really think that's far too dark to be an indent.

Ahh congrats to you. I've got another test which I'll do tomorrow so I'll just have to see. Thanks for replying 😊

In that case I'd say that's an early positive. Mine came up straight away but was so much lighter than that, it went pink the next day. Attached a pic of mine!

Yes. The line came up straight away and actually I was expecting it to be stark white so was surprised anything at all came up. I cant make my mind up if it's grey or very pale pink. I know the answer is to wait and test in a few days, but its so hard isn't it, all the waiting!!

Was this taken in the timeframe? It looks quite dark to be an indent, although as you say, no colour. Looks darker than the colourless early positive I had before it turned pink the next day. Have you tried cracking it open. I know it invalidates it, but my 'indent had very slightly pink ends.

DeletedByAccident · 13/09/2021 18:22

I can’t see any colour to it, it looks grey to me.
Maybe retest in a couple of days
Good luck Flowers
