Pregnancy or Evaporation line?

Hello,

Me and my husband have been trying for a baby since August, It's been very much touch and go on whether we can actually get pregnant as for some reason I just have it drilled into me that I can't (I had a miscarriage when I was 18, now 23) ever since then i've always been worried. There is honestly nothing I want more in this life than being a mum, me and my husband are happily married and ready to start our own little family.

I started feeling a bit weird over the weekend, a part of me just told me that I needed to take a test, I took one using a HCG strip test I saw 1 line then just got inpatient (They've always been negative so I didn't even bother waiting any longer and left the bathroom)
I came upstairs about 30mins after and I noticed on the strip there was a faint second pink line... I was thinking, no.. surely not (my period isn't due until tomorrow thurs 2nd december and I took this first test on the 27th november) I waited a couple of days and then did another test yesterday, same thing.. negative to start with then a very faint pink second line after 30mins or more, ever so slightly. I panicked and researched how apparently evaporation lines can happen if they are left out too long or if they dried up but it was in my pee pot that I washed out so it was still damp.

From what i've seen online the evaporation lines on other people's tests are barely visible and colourless whereas mine have a slight pink tinge, surely it is too early for a test to even pick anything up? asking for a friend. We're so desperate to be parents, I just worry its a fale positive and we get dissapointed again, as we're praying I have a little life inside of me.

Do you have photos of the tests?
It’s really hard to know especially with the line showing outside of the time frame.
The only way you’re going to know for sure is test again once you’ve missed your period if AF doesn’t show. I would recommend buying a FRER as that will be more reliable.

@Moonshine160 I do have pictures but I don’t know how to add them onto here (only just come on this today so I have NO idea what I’m doing)

You have to be a member for 48 hours I believe before you can post photos. I would advise waiting a couple of days and taking a different brand of test

Other thing you can do is upload to tumblr and post a link!
