Is this an evaporation line? If a line at all?

I really don't seem to know anything about pregnancy tests. As such, I shouldn't have even looked today but sense went out the window.

I have just poas. It was a cheap one from pharmacy. I only just read the leaflet which says use as early as first day from missed period and with morning urine. I am 10 days post ovulation (so not missed a period yet) and it was 2:30 in the afternoon so I really haven't done this right.

Is this what I have read is an evaporation line?

Thanks

Could be but could also be positive. Get a better brand and check again! First Response or Clearblue early detection.

Thank you. I have a dc so feel like I should know what the tests are all like etc but I used a digital test in first cycle of ttc so naively had no idea that I was lucky I was pregnant so quickly. I'll buy one this evening. If I'm 10 days PO are some better to use or is it better to hold off?

I'm a grown woman-I should know this!

If that line appeared in the time frame given on the instructions I'd say that is a positive.

ScarletSienna · 04/08/2017 15:09

Thanks for replying-I'll gp and buy another one. I have terrible period pains so I would be surprised!

That should say 'go' not 'gp'! Certainly shan't be going to the GP!

Try First Response or Clearblue early detection. FR picks up the hormone from 5mg, the digital scan only pick up 25mg.

ScarletSienna · 04/08/2017 15:38

Brilliant-I appreciate it! I shouldn't have even tried with the cheap non early detection one!

We all do it! Grin

Just tried a Clear Blue.

I think I can see a shadow of a line on that clearblue - what do you think?

OhWifey · 04/08/2017 18:32

Congratulations!

ScarletSienna · 04/08/2017 18:37

Thanks I think I can. It came up straight away like that so I'll try again in the morning. Wondered if using this one which can show 5 days before means it should be darker than that though. Can't let my hope she get up!

OP posts:
PoppyJ1 · 04/08/2017 18:54

Yes that looks positive! Tentative congrats! I had one like that once that turned darker the next day.

LisaSimpsonsbff · 04/08/2017 18:59

If you still have the packet look on the side for the reliability of testing on different days - you'll find that if you are pregnant there's only a 60-70ish % chance it'll show on the test at all five days before, so it definitely doesn't mean anything at all that it's light!

ScarletSienna · 04/08/2017 19:03

Thank you. We had just starting discussing adoption so I'm finding it hard to think this could be anything like a pregnant result.

doowapwap · 04/08/2017 19:05

Fingers crossed for you scarletSienna I really hope it's positive. It does look like a line to me

ScarletSienna · 04/08/2017 19:28

Thank you-I hope so too!

doowapwap · 04/08/2017 19:29

Test first thing in the morning and see if there's a stronger line. But as they say - a line is a line!!!

buzzmoon · 04/08/2017 19:31

I'd say tentative congrats! 🤞🏽

ScarletSienna · 04/08/2017 19:55

I'll do it first thing!

OP posts:
shamoffour · 04/08/2017 20:04

Fingers crossed Flowersit looks like a positive to me!

ScarletSienna · 05/08/2017 06:55

It's fainter this morning so I'm guessing not.

You are still only 11dpo. I can see a second line on the pink dye test. I see a vvfaint one on the blue ones. I'd say congrats and keep us updated

Alittlepotofrosie · 05/08/2017 08:08

I can see a line on all of them. Maybe wait a few days to test again?

ScarletSienna · 05/08/2017 08:10

Thank you. I did another pink one this morning and nothing there (unless you really squint).

Feeling very deflated.
