Evaporation lines.

[HolidayArmadillo]

I've never had one. Had plenty of negative pregnancy tests but never an evap line, both times I had pos pregnancy tests they were very positive straight away, this time there was no line within 30-60 seconds so I chucked it in a drawer and forgot about it. 3-4 hours later there is a definite, thin line (not as thick as I think an obvious strong positive would be but there all the same.) Sound like an evap line?

Do another test if there is any colour in the line. Evap lines tend to be grey.

I know they say don't read the result after 30 min but ime a negative has never turned positive... But a very very weak positive can look more darkly coloured when it's dry.

And an early result may take several mins for any colour to appear at all. 60 seconds is not long enough!

I've sent DH to the shops. I'll post a pic of the test.

This is the test. A positive test is a horizontal and vertical line in the larger window.

Aaaaand it's too small to see on here!

There's definitely something there. The first response tests are supposed to be very sensitive so might be worth trying that brand instead.

I can see the line, is it sainsbury?

They are so bad for evap lines, def get another test and try again, preferably a pink dye test.

Yes it is a Sainsbury's test, Sainsbury's is our nearest supermarket so I do tend to use their tests when I'm having that oh shit when did I last have a period panic (had an implant, irregular periods, happened a lot!!) yet I've never experienced an evap line. DH has gone to Asda so I'll see what he returns with.

What did he come back with?

An asda own brand, will test in a couple of days if no period forthcoming.

I can sort of see it!

When are you of due af?

What kind of result are you hoping for?

I genuinely have no idea when AF is due, it's always a surprise, I don't recall if I had a period in February or not. DH reckons I did as he distinctly recalls me saying 'fuck off with that, I'm menstruating' haha. If I was pregnant great, if not that'd be fine too. We're not actively trying but equally not being militant about preventing it (implant should have been replaced by now...)

Did you retest?
