Late positive or strong evap?

This result appeared sometime after the 10 minute window, but I've googled what an evap looks like and this doesn't seem to fit. It's a strong line and it's coloured, but nothing showed up during the original testing window. I'm so confused :(

I'm 6 days late, which historically I've never been except when pregnant. I have been tracking my cycles for >5 years, and no matter how stressed/unwell I am, whether I've had major surgery or anything else, my period is always on time. A few years ago I had a pregnancy that never showed up on home tests, so I didn't discover until I was 8 weeks along, and I miscarried soon after. I am worried that this will be a repeat of that, or perhaps an ectopic pregnancy, as I've had some pains in the right hand side of my pelvis. I have already asked my GP for a hCG blood test, which I'm having next week.

Looks positive, but I think you need to test again to know really.
With any positive tests that I’ve had, the positive line has shown up quite quickly, and definitely within the time window.

Sorry, didn’t read your post properly before replying. That’s good that you’re getting a test with your GP so you will know for certain soon.
So sorry to hear about your previous loss. Hoping you get some good news from the GP.

Thanks for your reply.

I have taken a test every day this week and they've all been negative, but I've never checked any of them past 10 minutes as you're not supposed to, except this one.

My two healthy pregnancies showed up right away, but my other pregnancy didn't. That was suspected to be ectopic as I had a lot of one sided pain when I miscarried, but never confirmed. It feels like history repeating itself and I'm just desperate to know!
