Evap or Positive?

I still don't have my period. My doctor told me to do another test so I did this morning. Does this look positive? It was within the time frame. I did one a week ago.

looks like a line!

arahiganay · 15/02/2025 20:49

It's positive!

LilacLilias · 15/02/2025 20:56

Definitely positive.

catgirl1976 · 15/02/2025 21:14

That is positive

Justmeagain12 · 15/02/2025 21:15

Positive!

BusyMum47 · 15/02/2025 21:48

Pretty definite line if you ask me!

It’s not a positive… it’s where the dye has got stronger at the start of a dye run.. get a red dye test.. if this was taken after expected day of period it would be solid and bright blue sorry. I’ve been caught out loads with these tests… it’s cruel for CB to not remove them from sale to be fair!!

Sorry OP, looks like an evap line. Thin and too far left for a positive.

PurBal · 15/02/2025 22:02

How late are you? If very late I would expect a stronger line.

M1451 · 15/02/2025 22:03

A week late

It's too far to the left i think, I'm sorry

FoxtonFoxton · 15/02/2025 22:07

No point guessing -you need another test. Like someone else said, a red dye one. It looks positive here, but if the doubt is there you need to do it again. I hope you get the answer you want.

I did another test this morning and another thin line came up. Arent positives supposed to be thick?

Get the tests with the wording on them. But to me this is a positive.

Looks positive to me.

Can you get a test with the words? Or a first response (I think?!) I used a first response one from Boots just before my period was due and it came up positive- this was 12 years ago and I now have an 11 year old, so it was accurate.

I hope you get the result you want.

PurBal · 16/02/2025 21:15

Get a pink dye or a digital. Both look positive but if you're not sure then get a different brand. Congratulations.

ShowMighty · 17/02/2025 07:15

To me they both look like dye runs/evap lines. They look too thin. Don’t use those tests honestly they cause so much stress. Use a test that uses pink dye. Or ever easier just use a digital. At a week late a digital will easily show up positive as well if it’s real.

No positives are line. This is a clear line so positive.

Are you trying for a baby?

M1451 · 17/02/2025 17:37

Yes we are. Have been trying for 4 years:(

They don't need to be thick. Even a feint line is positive as it shows you have the pregnancy hormones. I tested early for mine and had very feint lines at the start of pregnancy. You might want to get one of those clearblue tests that literally say the word 'pregnant' if that will make you feel more sure! For me looking at that test you shared clearly says pregnant.

Americano75 · 17/02/2025 17:57

Get yourself digital test, and please keep us updated! Got everything crossed for you.

M1451 · 17/02/2025 18:01

I see the doctor tomorrow so was going to ask for a blood test and I will. I'm praying it's not a negative
