boots early tests - evap lines?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had experience of evap lines on the boots 5 days early test?

I took one this morning (am 10/11 DPO) - there was immediately a colourless indent line which then disappeared after about 1 min - then the test looked negative though near the end of the 5 min window there was a v v v v faint line visible (like, SUPER faint, but you know, I was looking hard). It was hard to say whether it had any pink in it or was grey. I'm testing as my boobs have been really sore and this isn't a PMS symptom for me, but is symptom I've had with my two prior pregnancies.

I know the answer is just to test in a couple of days and see, which is what I'll do, but I am just curious to whether evaps on these are a common thing, or whether anyone had something like this and went on to have a bfp (basically, to see how much hope I can reasonably have!).

@Marie1990x oh interesting! that looks quite similar to mine so I fear it might be an indent after all...

@lavenderlilaclily I always found them reliable until last month.

I had an indent at the same time frame when testing as you and definitely wasn’t pregnant.

you probably can’t even make out the indent here 😂 but just for reference this was mine.

hoping yours turns out to be a BFP!

I find them quite reliable!

The instructions say result after 3 min and don't read after 5 min though - so was just following those. The line stayed after 5 min fwiw.

I know that I won't get an answer here about whether or not I'm pregnant - only time will tell - but was just wondering about experiences of these particular tests. I used to uses FRERs when I was ttc a few years back but they're no longer available, and want to find one that's equally reliable. I've had a difficult time in the past with ttc and losses, so really want to avoid evaps, false positives and false hope, and I think that's reasonable..

This is why you don't look at it till the 5 min mark. Often the indent line can go darker whilst processing.

Step away from the tests for another 4/5 days and stop stressing yourself out.
