Evap line limbo

overthinkersanonnymus · 06/11/2022 08:33

I need a reality slap please 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know this is an evap line as there's no colour and it came up after about 20 minutes but my little voice in my head keeps saying "maybe it's not"

I'm not due on until Wednesday and I've got quite bad cramps so I could come on even sooner. Please tell me what you think and be brutally honest x

Now that’s a line @overthinkersanonnymus ! Did you get your frer for the morning? How exciting!

I think we might be back on!! I've got terrible cramps though so god knows what's going on

That's a positive - did it come up straight away?

I had bad cramps when I was very early pregnancy with my first. She's 6 now!

Gilm0reGirl · 07/11/2022 18:51

My cheap tests did this, I had a faint positive, a few negatives and then stronger positive followed by positive FRER and digital.

To be fair @overthinkersanonnymus I always got my highest hcg surge of the day in the afternoon after a good five hour hold. It’s still so early; don’t test for a few days if you can. I know it’s hard and probably
occupying 99% of your brain.

@NalaNana I'm off to boots this afternoon and I'll do a frer in the morning. You're right, there's nothing there really and I need some proper closure

@overthinkersanonnymus I'm afraid I can't see anything on the test, have you tried a FRER? If you're pregnant, it will get darker over the next couple of days so no need to panic over whether there's a shadow or not, you'll get your answer soon enough. I found that FRERs gave the most convincing line in those early days!

@thelma57 thank you!! I absolutely do need to step away from the test 🤣🤣 I'm 12dpo

I just want AF to start now so I can stop obsessing!!

thelma57 · 07/11/2022 09:51

@overthinkersanonnymus I can see what you see, but for yourself, step away from the test!

How many DPO are you? Is it worth getting a frer for a clear answer? I’ve had lots of evaps and indents on cheapy strips so maybe a better test will put your mind at ease? X

Right I'm fully clutching at straws here and faffing about with filters on tests (which I know is stupid) is there a shadow on this or are my eye balls scarred from the line stress 😂😂

Reality slap needed please!

I've been ttc for 4 years I know how pregnancy tests work lol. I'm talking about the faint lines next to the control lines.

I am in a similar boat! Have been testing with FRER. These lines came up within the 3 minutes but this is 11 and 12 dpo and I think they are getting lighter? The 11dpo one was blaringly pink but now I'm doubting myself and wondering if they are indents?

Hi, if these are like the standard tests then you need two lines to show up for pregnancy. There is only one line on each of the tests in your picture.

BFN with FMU. Still no AF but cramping on and off. I feel exhausted with the constant am I, arnt i for the last few days!

That'll teach me to test early

@babynoname22 I know what you mean but, the evap line test was taken yesterday evening so I'd think this evening would show something if too if it was a true positive

To be honest I think maybe it was a genuine bfp but not stuck and if it was, this is the furthest I've ever got. I've had period pains since last night so I just have to wait till next month and try again 🙂

babynoname22 · 06/11/2022 19:19

It to her your hopes up but I would test again with FMU in the morning. An evening wee won't be as strong

Definitely an evap. Just done another test (and read within the time frame) and it's negative

Thanks for all trying to be positive for me today girls x

It looks pink to me with the flash on x

Golaz · 06/11/2022 11:04

That looks like a positive to me!! Def a faint line with colour. I’ve never had an evap that looked like that!

I'm in work all day today so shops will be shut when I leave but I'll get an FRER tomorrow and do a couple more cheepies tonight.

Feel a bit nauseous but that's probably nerves

OP posts:
ChickinMarango · 06/11/2022 10:54

Way better than my first bfp with my second. A FRER should confirm it :)

Mortima · 06/11/2022 10:45

I think evap lines tend to be quite skinny? I think there's a hint of colour too.

I would also try and get a FRER today - if it's a positive showing up on a cheapie strip test then I would think you would get a positive on a FRER even if it's not FMU. Good luck!
