Took a pregnancy test this morning. I'm 17dpo . Got called away and came back an hour later to see this.
I can't get to pharmacy now til Monday.
Not sure what this means since it's been dry for an hour

I also had one of these, it was just an evap.

I wonder if it should look a bit darker than this for 17 DPO. OP are you sure of your DPO dates?
It also looks way too dark for an evap even if it’s been left to dry for ages! Definitely take another one when you find another one.

Chuck it. And do another one. This happened to me an hour after and i wasnt pregnant. Its an evaporation line

Isn't it supposed to be read within 5 minutes? But it looked negative at that time

My period is due today.
I didn't notice the line when I took it, it must have been too faint but it dried down really dark and now has me confused if it's real or not. I couldn't see the line after 3 mins when I walked away

I'd take that as a positive, evap lines aren't that strong, tentative congratulations OP

At 17 DPO - I'm guessing your period is late?
