Boots 5 day early test reviews

138 replies

Proudmummy67 · 29/03/2023 17:55

Hi,
I was just wondering if the Boots 5 day early pregnancy tests are known for evap lines? Or has anyone had any experience with them.
I have taken one today at 10dpo (not fmu) and can see a vvfl.

Hi ladies, I know this thread is extremely old, but have seen that it is still active 😊 Love seeing the support for each other. What do we think about my test from this morning? I am 8DPO, I know it is extremely early xx

@MD1456@SWMum9Thanks for the response guys! Yeah it’s so heartbreaking when ttc😢I ended up getting a positive morrisons test but a negative digital so i’m not having the best luck with tests this month😂

I would say it’s negative 😢 these tests leave really bad indents, I wouldn’t use them again. A faint is a positive yes but if it’s pink. These are sort of grey

@amey44 sorry love, I second what @SWMum9 said. I’ve had so many indents with these that I no longer use them - they just give me false hope every time x

Hey Ladies I was just wondering if anyone could give me their opinion on these tests? The lines are quite faint but online it says even a line is faint its positive but i’m still not sure if it’s real?

@Hunnybunny12345 ive had this a few times and unfortunately was not pregnant. Its where the urine gathers and colour runs a little bit making it look like a line. Test again in a few days to be sure, your still early!

Hunnybunny12345 · 24/12/2025 00:33

I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with these tests - this line came up within the time frame and stayed for at least 10 mins so I took some pictures and put it away. When I checked it hours later the line was gone? I may only be 9/10 dpo

I feel the same!! These are the last 2 of mine & I feel like they are both indents as 3 x clear blue early were negative!! Way to get my hopes up Boots!!!

It’s horrible isn’t it 😢 I now order the first response tests on Amazon. They are better than these ones

MD1456 · 21/12/2025 17:02

@DairyIntolerantBaby these are mine from today (another cycle). Yet another indent!?

DairyIntolerantBaby · 21/12/2025 15:11

SWMum9 · 21/12/2025 12:11

Mine looked like this a few times and was sadly always negative. I don’t trust these tests.

MD1456 · 21/12/2025 12:32

@DairyIntolerantBaby no it wasnt! If you shine a light behind it you can see the line is where the urine dried! X

Hey! Jumping on a REALLY old thread but trying to find some hope from my test today🥹 does this look positive? Feel it’s a bit off centre!

Was this positive?! Mine is off centre too & looks just like this!

I can see something but I just want to say I REALLY don’t trust these tests. They have given me the same faint grey line 3 months where I wasn’t pregnant. I now won’t use them. Please update either way, keeping eveything crossed for you xx

YourSpoonyPeachLemur · 29/08/2025 22:19

I can see something similar to mine if you scroll up. Defo test again in a few days x

Thank you so much for your reply, I didn’t plan for this at all but I’m not mad about it or anything so just a little shocked I did take another tonight and it’s ever so slightly darker. Did anyone ever find these had evaps or is it most likely a positive? Xx

NB93 · 29/08/2025 17:47

Hey, I know this is an old thread but wondered if I can get advice and if anyone can see the line here? I’m not sure what to think can definitely see it more in person. Thank you so much

Sometimes you can ovulate later than expected so unless you are tracking ovulation it might be fine to see a faint line 6 days late because you may of ovulated 6, or 8 days later than usual.

I can see a line but agree do another test in a couple days to see if it darkens! Fingers crossed

Thank you I don’t track my ovulation so this makes sense

Lemoncheesecake007 · 29/08/2025 12:41

YourSpoonyPeachLemur · 29/08/2025 11:09

I’ve bought more boots ones , I’ve a couple of pink dye ones with faint lines now so fingers crossed x

At 6 days late you should see a strong line. I can see a faint line but i would try another test to be sure.
