Are Superdrug's tests known for their evaps? Pic included.

Took a test this morning and a pink line came up within the time limit. It was with very concentrated urine thanks to my mild hangover of rosè last night Blush

I did another a FRER work this afternoon after many cups of tea and water and it's a stark BFN.

I wonder if the Superdrug one was an evap.

Any experience or opinions?

Hi silly sausage has AF shown her face? I still have nothing so going out to buy another test!

Sophie- blue dye tests are apparently more susceptible to evaporation lines and is hard to tell the difference between a faint positive and evap because of the colour. Where as a faint pink line is a lot more obvious.

Exactly the same has happened to me this month SillySausage. I got a VERY convincing evap on a Superdrug test yesterday (looks just like yours), so I ran out to get a FRER. Stark white. I'd bought a 2 pack of both and tested again - same thing - evap on the Superdrug, BFN on the FRER.

Hi holzy, I think I read that somewhere as well, but I'm 12dpo today so would expect to see something on a FRER by now. Expecting AF Thurs/Fri, but will of course update if it turns out I was wrong about the Superdrug tests!

Well I finally have a definitive answer!

I am now officially CD1.

I honestly don't know what test to trust in future, I've never not experienced an evap.
Perhaps just IC's with a very open mind.

Good luck to the others.

I had an evap last week with a Superdrug. Did get my hopes up as 3 months ago got a positive on a Superdrug and was indeed pregnant. First response showed up as positive the day after. However this pregnancy turned out to be a chemical.

This month one positive on a Superdrug but not One on a frer or indeed any other Superdrug tests so deffo was an Evap/duff test. Won't be touching them again now. Sorry it's happened to you xx
