Clear & Simple - pink line outside of 10 mins. Evap?

Hi!

just wondering if anyone else has had a pink line (which also looks like it sits in the wrong place) outside of the test timeframe with Clear & Simple early response (the cheap tests) ? And has it been a false positive?

I took this test and it didn’t show positive within first 10 mins, but when I went back to it 30 mins later it looked like the first pic.

An hour later it looked like the second pic and 4 hrs later it looks very pink…

I know you’re not meant to check outside the timeframe, but it’s so pink that I’m curious to hear opinions!

I’ve taken a few of these tests in the past and they’ve never looked like this before. Maybe it’s faulty? Not holding out much hope 😊

Hello everyone,
have come across this post and done this test today. I’m about 12DPO although not 100% and I’ve had some light bleeding so I’m not optimistic but confused whether this line is positive or not on clear and simple

thanks!

I took this test and didnt show anything straight away,looked the next day out of curiosity and there's a faint line so not sure if positive or a evaporated line?

It’s soooo hard to see on here but I seem to have this similar line that you’re all referring to! 🤞🏼

@Stevie1922wbat was your outcome?

I’ve ordered a frer for tomorrow 😬

Was this a positive? X

I’m day 37 of my cycle, I’m usually around 32-33 day cycles. Have never hit the 5 week mark between them etc.
I got a 2 faint positives both fmu but not really different in strength. I used the clear and simple early response as the clear blue are x10 the price…
I don’t feel pregnant I feel like I’m due to come on… what’s everyone’s opinions!??

Better to start a new thread as this is a zombie.

I’m currently (what I think) 6 weeks and 3 days calculating from my first day of my last period. I look a LOAD of ultra early clear blue tests which alll had a faint line in the positive line window. I later googled and realised it was an evaporation line so was a bit gutted. Then a couple weeks later with no period (except 2 days of bleeding red with tiny blood clots around 6 day post ovulation) which I initially put down to implantation bleeding but as it got heavier I realised it was a period so again gutted. But now I’ve just don’t another 2 tests which are different to eachother and my previous test and the results are attached.. could you please help me understand what is going on? Today’s text (pictures) were taken 20 days post ovulation and 1 days before my expected period from what my period calendar has told me.

Thank you in advance, I really appreciate any time of feedback ❤️

Hi All,

sorry I’m late to the post. I got this today and wanted to know all of your thoughts? I’m 13 days DPO. I took a digital straight after which was negative but I do not think my levels were strong enough.

@Livingonicecream thank you. Just see loads of people posting cheapies at 10 dpo that are blazing + and think this can’t be anything 😔

Livingonicecream · 06/01/2024 21:40

Looks positive to me!

@SJayne12 @Redpanda21 @LXT @Livingonicecream @anovu

hi ladies, sorry for late response. I know this thread is quite old I am really confused. I’m 1 day lat, we have been trying for 4 months since a mmc, I have small symptoms so all looking good. But clear and simple 6 days early test looks like all of yours this came up within time frame and I’ve bought Superdrug tests for the morning but is this an evap line or do we think positive. ❤️❤️thanks girls x

Thank you. Congratulations to you too!

LXT · 12/12/2023 19:51

Ahhh congrats!!!!! + thank you!
have done countless tests since which I don’t even need to squint at. Still early though (10DPO I think) so trying not to get too excited 🙈

SJayne12 · 12/12/2023 16:47

Good luck! I had a positive on a first response 2 days later. I was originally worried about how faint the line was however i had a scan yesterday and I’m only 5-6 weeks but saw a strong heartbeat and baby doing well. So I must have ovulated late and had this positive at only 3 weeks which explains why it was so faint!

LXT · 10/12/2023 19:12

Hi @SJayne12 - hope you’re well.
I’ve just taken a test and it looks EXACTLY like yours and I’m looking for some hope 🤞🏻

SJayne12 · 23/11/2023 11:26

Thank you both for replying.

@Redpanda21 congratulations!

yeah I’m not 100% convinced with the line being so faint at this stage. Annoyingly I didn’t actually track ovulation for the first time this month because I ended getting so down about it not happening yet we just said we’d go with the flow this month without tracking. So I can’t confirm exactly when I ovulated, so late ovulation is a possibility. Typical the month my period is late I didn’t track.

I’m going to do another test this afternoon so we’ll see how the goes 🙏🏻

TheShellBeach · 23/11/2023 11:04

Hi @SJayne12 although that does look positive, it's a faint line for four days late.
I'd be worrying about the possibility of a chemical pregnancy.

But I could be wrong and you may have ovulated late.
