Evaporation lines?

POAS this morning and got BFN, but emptying the bin just now there was a pink line. Fainter than the control, but definitely there and definitely pink. It's been 8 hours, so it doesn't count a positive result, right?

I had a line that showed up after the test- she is 10 and just back from Brownies!

I saw it about an hour later though

do you have another test for tomorrow am

MissPenteuth · 27/01/2012 20:05

No, this was the 2nd from a twin pack. There might have been a line after an hour, but I binned it after about 5 mins because it looked like a clear BFN! The other test, taken on mon night, is still showing neg. Maybe I can buy more tomorrow and test on Sunday.

I found this with my now little boy, and discarded it as it had come up negative, 5 days later i tested again and came up as a positive result in less than a minute, and as 3 weeks plus (got a digital one the second time to be sure) Definetely worth paying a little more for peace of mind. First thing in the morning is the best and most accurate time to do it.

MissPenteuth · 27/01/2012 20:25

Oh yikes. I'm going do go crazy waiting till I can test again Confused

ooh its so frustrating isn't it.

EllenandBump · 27/01/2012 20:32

I know, its hard just waiting all the time! I hated it too. x

browneyesblue · 27/01/2012 20:42

I would suggest collecting your first morning urine in a suitable clean pot so that you don't have to wait an extra day to test. It also comes in useful if you want to double check the result.

browneyesblue · 27/01/2012 20:42

Good luck :)

losttheflickumdickumagain · 27/01/2012 20:47

I too got mine out of the bin to check again an hour or so later, he's 3 now Grin. Mine definately had no line at all after the allotted time (I held it up all different angles in the light).

Good luck .

ifrustrated · 27/01/2012 20:49

Happened to me as well, took the test at night and looked like a bfn went to bin it the next day and it was bfp.

I would secretly be getting my hopes up Grin

MissPenteuth · 27/01/2012 21:16

Thanks for the replies. ifrustrated did yours turn out to be a proper BFP in the end then?

I could possibly find an excuse to go out to 24 hour Tesco now and test first thing tomorrow. Would I be better to give it an extra day for a clearer result though?

ifrustrated · 27/01/2012 21:46

Yes it did, I did my next test with morning urine and it came up right away.

Good luck!

KatAndKit · 27/01/2012 21:51

Good luck tomorrow morning! I'd be getting my hopes up too - evap lines are not usually pink!

newtonupontheheath · 27/01/2012 22:14

I spent all of Tuesday night staring at an "evap line" and all Wednesday morning at a second one... I used a cb digi Wednesday lunchtime and got a clear BFP. If you're going to buy more tomorrow,maybe opt for a digi? Words are easier than lines!! Good luck and please update us!! Smile

newtonupontheheath · 27/01/2012 22:15

missP waiting tomorrow to use your fmu might be better, not necessarily for getting a clearer line see previous post re wise words about digis Grin

MissPenteuth · 27/01/2012 22:33

Damn newton I'm just back from shop with non-digi test. Will try first thing tomorrow and maybe next day with digi test if no BFP tomorrow Congrats on your BFP too :)

newtonupontheheath · 27/01/2012 22:36

Sorry mate, a poorly times post! I've got one here,along with five million cheap ones that don't seem to show anything more than a feint line Grin Fx for your BFP!

newtonupontheheath · 27/01/2012 22:37

I'm not showing off there, I was offering >>>> you want?! Wink

ahhhhhpushit · 27/01/2012 22:39

If there is colour in the line then it isnt an evap.

MrsMc82 · 27/01/2012 23:05
