One Step Tests??

[AllHopeAndNoResults]

So according to my Ovia app I’m due AF today but by my working out I’d say I’m due Monday (long irregular cycles) I’ve had the usual periody symptoms really sore boobs, cramping, tiredness a little nausea for a day and lower back aches.

I am starting the SMEP this cycle so bought a load of OPKs and they came with pregnancy tests. I’ve used a few of the tests and the first ones were just negative but the last 2 there was a very faint line as the test was developing and then went negative. I very clearly see the line develop as my heart was beating so fast when I see it.

Anyway as I said it went negative, I was thinking all sorts and came to the conclusion that if by some miracle I was pregnant then perhaps it’s just too early to test. I used the very last one to try it in water and see how it developed.

The same thing happened BUT the line was much less obvious and disappeared quicker. Have I just had dud tests? Or is this normal for one step?

I’ve found the onestep tests do show a indent when developing but I’ve not heard of Evaps on these and they are not sensitive! So I should think a line is pregnant! Xx

I have just had this and I got my BFP today on a frer! So basically, on the cheapie one step strip tests it is very common for the second line to appear and after a certain amount of time for it to disappear. Evap lines are only grey or white. If the line shows up with colour the first time you see it then it is a pregnancy line. All of my one step cheapie tests did this and my frer confirmed it.

I'd say keep testing. Though you should try a frer as they're far more sensitive. Good luck and keep us updated!

Thanks @sunflower2019 is the indent line apparent? I’m just confused as it disappeared so quickly! It’s heartbreaking when all you want to see is a positive and it just disappears. Thank you for replying

Thank you @NikolaPiccola, congratulations on your BFP!

Can I just ask? Was the line faint when developing and the disappeared? I’m going to wait until Monday to test again. It’s too disheartening. Thank out for replying

@AllHopeAndNoResults Yes, it was super super faint! I'll show you two of mine that I had done and then my bfp for comparison. The one-step ones disappear after 10-15 minutes for me too. It's why they recommend for you to not look at them past that time.

@nikolapiccola ahh yes I see!

I’m starting to think mine is negative though as mine disappeared within seconds not minutes. It did the same when I tested with water but less apparent and disappeared quicker 😭😭 it’s so frustrating!
