Evap line or pregnancy?

43 replies

Posting here for traffic. Name changed for obvious reasons.

took a Superdrug test yesterday, one day before missed period. Waited 2 minute no.

Later saw a line I assumed evap’ no period still and then read the pack again that said wait 5 minutes.

Should I buy another test? Or are we thinking evap?

I have just taken this picture of yesterday test.

Looks positive to me I’d buy another test to be sure

Putthekettleon73 · 17/08/2024 20:57

Id say positive

NameChangeOmMN · 17/08/2024 21:16

Do you think? I took it about 7am it was negative. I seen it again about 11ish. That’s why I thought evap line. That photograph was from tonight. Gosh it would be so exciting! Wish I had read the package and waited the 5 minutes now 🤦🏻‍♀️

I would take another test. I’ve personally never gotten a line that wasn’t a real line.

Deipara · 17/08/2024 21:23

Go get another test and report back!

NameChangeOmMN · 17/08/2024 21:27

I am so nervous to take another test, positive thoughts 😂

Or take it to the Pregnancy board...

I found the Superdrug tests took a lot longer than 5mins to show a positive. I binned mine as I thought they were negative at around 10DPO. Fished them out hours later and had a positive. Bought a different brand and tested a few days later and it was positive within seconds. It’s likely to be positive but test with another brand as well to be 100%

It could be positive but they can also go like this when left more than an hour or two to dry....the only way to know if do another one! Good luck!

That’s what I was thinking it was a good three hours later.

I think I’m just trying not to get my hopes up too much!

Another vote here for looks positive. Definitely test again though to be sure. Good luck.

Hi guys, I’m currently 21 days late on my period I have taken a test and I’m not sure? But also stuck on what to do next?

21 DPO or 21 days late? Did the line appear within 3-5 minutes?

@NameChangeOmMN hello lovely, did you do another test today? Xx

This particular type of test are apparently notoriously bad for evaps. The line also looks quite thin and you'd likely have a dye stealer if af is 3 weeks late. Do you have another brand you could try? Xx

@NameChangeOmMN hello lovely, did you do another test today? Xx

Not yet no, we’ve been at an event this morning so haven’t had chance to pick one up yet. Was going to get one later but thinking of waiting until tomorrow morning to test. I’m one day late today.

Get a better one, like a FRER.

FRER, is this first response?

NameChangeOmMN · 18/08/2024 13:09

Must say, thank you everyone for your advice. Got to love the MN community, minus the trolls. 😂

I am so very nervous to do another and get a BFN. Think I’m clinging to hope. 😞

CosmicLove · 18/08/2024 14:06

@NameChangeOmMN yes FRER is first response. If is now 1 day late though, any brand should be fine. Since you're not testing early, you'd probably be okay to test today if you can't wait till tomorrow! Maybe after holding and not drinking for a few hours, to make sure urine not too dilute. Good luck! Xx

*If af is now 1 day late

Yes! Good luck.

Superdrug tests are dreadful. I found the cheapie strips more reliable than those - once I had a line I bought a posh one to confirm!

Absolutely tons of traffic on the Conception board, which is where these “line eyes please!” photos are often shared.
