Can Clear Blue dye leak after 10 min?

I took 2 Clear Blue rapid detection tests on 7DPO and 10DPO. They both initially came out negative but after an hour of taking them, there were very feint lines that indicate a positive. Does this mean the dye is just leaking? Or could it be a delayed result - I don't even know if this is possible?

They are probably evaporation lines. That’s why there is a time limit on checking.

From what I've read, evaporation lines are colourless, but mine are blue?

@ChazsBrilliantAttitude. Hi! From what I've read, evaporation lines are colourless, but mine are blue?

Can you post a pic?

I would wait a few days and test again. The tests aren’t designed to be read so long after so I don’t think you can assume anything. If you are pregnant the lines should be stronger by 14 dpo.

I don't know how to add a picture to a message - I'm new to this site. @JellybabyGina87 Could you please help me?

It’s best to throw away after the time limit. There is a reason it’s there, they are only valid for the 10mins.

There's normally a paper clip thing at the bottom of where you write the message but I don't think you can add pictures if you're new to the site. I'm not sure.
