Evaporation line or BFP?????

[blueskies19]

Ive been trying to conceive for many years and for the first time this last month I used the cheap ovulation predictor kits. They amazingly worked as I thought nothing would show up but a very faint line showed up at the start of ovulation which I confirmed with a more expensive brand that same day. Me and the partner only managed to DTD twice during that period.

I am 5 days before the start of AF and have bought the same cheap pregnancy tests and I have just tested today (not with FMU) and the result within 1 minute was a definite negative but going back to the test after 9 minutes there was a very very faint line (squint through narrow eyes and you may see it!) but there was a very pale line which over time has become darker.

I am convinced it is an evaporation line as I have been trying for 5 years and am almost giving up and am just about to go down the ivf route.

Does anyone have any experience of cheap pregnancy tests and do they more often than the branded ones come up with this evopration line?
I think I am just driving myself crazy with this as the instructions on the packet say DEFINITELY do not read the test after 10 minutes which is what Im doing but I guess Im just hoping for a miracle and would be more ecstatic than winning the lottery to get a BFP

Any advice greatly appreciated x

Awww FANTASTIC!!!! Congratulations & all the best in your pregnancy

Hi blueskies19

I've been reading this thread all week and I'm so so happy to see you got your bfp!!!! It really is so uplifting to read these kind of stories, especially given that you have been trying for so long. I've actually got a smile on my face for you, and I think you will have given a lot of people on here a reason to hope so big congratulations, and I wish you all the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy!! xx

Congratulations.
I had a tear in my eye reading your posts!

Congratulations Blueskies I've just read your entire thread. I was so pleased when I got to the end and saw you got a 3+ on a digi!! Wishing you a healthy 9 months.

It's really heartening to read your story. I've been ttc for 4 years. We have unexplained infertility and are gearing up to our second IVF. I feel like giving up and accepting it's never going to happen but stories like yours really help xx

Congratulations blue skies so pleased and what a result, 3+!! No need to worry about lack of a line there, you got the strongest it does
Please keep us updated with your milestones x

Ahw thank you all soooo much :) :)
I do feel very happy and lucky to have had you all to talk to and to have got my BFP is just the most thrilling thing ever.

I do really hope my story will give encouragement to others - to realise that just when you feel like giving up it happens and just after years and years and years of thinking you should give up, that longed for line (however faint and wafty!) finally appears.

IT it is an incredibly stressful and heartbreaking journey that only those going through ttc will ever understand.

I wish each and everyone the very best on your own journeys and do so hope that you will all get your BFPs very very soon - keeping my fingers crossed for all of you :) :) xxx
kittykat - will indeed keep you all posted - am off for a scan in a few weeks which Im petrified about but will update you all on that - my fingers and toes will be crossed for us all :) xxx

Really pleased for you. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

You would probably best starting your own thread as you will get more responses!

If that came up within the test window that looks totally positive to me!! Can definitely see a second pink line! Congratulations
