Adding to my post earlier.. evap or faint line? I looked this morning, negative. 12hrs later this line appears.

Hi all.

Currently TTC (1st attempt this month).

I am roughly 11dpo and have had negative early response tests, but decided to have a quick look at the one I took roughly 6am this morning (it’s 6pm now) and I have noticed this line. Is this an evap or does it have any colour? TIA

[BoBo90]

Congratulations!

[bananalver]

positive within 2 minutes

[BoBo90]

Sorry I’d say negative on that one as the line has no colour. Try a pink dye test like first response - they are usually more reliable early on! Fingers crossed for you x

[Larafj]

Is this positive then?? I was convinced there was a line but it was so faint no camera picked it up, put it in the bin came home an hour later and found it like this.

[BoBo90]

I’d say that’s a definite positive! Evap lines are usually much fainter.
best thing to do is take another test in the morning with your first wee of the day (it will give the best result) and I’d expect it to come up mush quicker tomorrow. Even better go grab yourself a first response pregnancy test as I always found them the most reliable for early testing x

took a test this morning, unsure when ov was but test was negative a couple minutes after taking it so threw it out, checked it hours after and it’s very positive, unsure of how to feel or if it means anything.

@Kris593 it looks very much positive, but the dates don’t really add up. If you bled a week after sex, everything would have emptied out. Plus, because sperm can live for a while inside of you, conception could have been 3-4 weeks ago. That would mean you are 5-6 weeks pregnant. I would expect a stronger line at that point so even though this is very strong for an evap line, I would say something isn’t adding up. Take another one; maybe a different brand. If all else fails, ask your doctors to do an HCG blood test.
Take care.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a false positive or not. I'm on the pill, but was a bit late with some of them-never a missed day though. I had what I thought was my period but being on the pill, I know it's a withdrawal bleed. It's been almost 4 weeks since I've had unprotected sex and 3 weeks since my withdrawal bleed. I did a test today and I'm not sure if this is a false positive or not. Please help.

17 days late for my period never been this late what do you all think of these results I did yesterday but then got a negative this morning on the same brand test x

[Katerina42]

I took a pregnancy test last night a cheap one and came back positive within a minute, then proceeded to take a clear blue today and nothing showed up in the 10 minute period, checked 20 minutes later and a line appeared which is blue and has colour to it and can clearly be seen (unsure how to add photo) but unsure if its an evaporation line or what please help i am so confused

[Pinkypie91]

Evap? 😬😬😬

[Namechangeforthegamechange]

@ what was your outcome?

[JennJay87]

Hey guess I'm new and wondering if anyone has any updates to the lines?? We have had issues getting pregnant so April 27 we did IUI to implant baby 👶 now we are getting several faint lines like 9 test but they are not getting any darker just faint lines. Day of period today so not really late any advice

[Missfancypantsmom]

Help! What do you see?

[Vicki443]

Hi all. I’m trying to get pregnant with my second child. I’ve taken lots of tests which have all been negative but I happened to glance at a pregnancy test I’d taken 24hours prior and there is the faintest line. What do you guys make of this?

[Mylasmummy2102]

I took these test over the last few days I'm late on my period but the lines didn't come up straight away some obviously fainter than others but one took 2-3 minutes the rest around 4-6 I'm so confused 🤷‍♀️

[Paytt409]

I took a test and after 10 minutes there was a fait positive blue line. I took two more the next morning and they were negative, nothing. What could this mean?

[Macbookbaby]

What do you guys make of this because to me it looks blue??

Hi i got faint pink line positive on test then done a digital which said not pregnant wat does this mean. Its not an evap line as its pink

[Zoe194]

What do you guys think of this?

[Hjg101]

So I took a test and I am guessing if I am pregnant I would only be around maybe 2 weeks barely depending on when implantation took place. I am so confused because my test was a blue dye test. It have a thin darker blue line with some light blue shading making it look like it it trying to be the same size of the test line. This formed a plus for positive. But I am really confused if the test was to cheap. Has anyone experienced this? The line is very clearly blue not grey or off white. I am going to re test but am nervous and want to wait a bit to make sure before I test again.

Actually how do I attach a photo?
