Late Period - Positive Test/Evaporation Mark/Sertraline Side Effect??

5 replies

CBWF107 · 13/07/2022 14:00

I have been taking sertraline 100mg/day since 20th June, previously taking 50mg/day. I have had pretty regular 25-26 day cycles but my period is 6 days late.
I took a basic Tesco pregnancy test yesterday and got these results about 5-6 minutes later. I was recommended to take a digital test so I got a Clearblue and it came back ‘not pregnant’.
I’m pretty certain that the sertraline is causing period delays but the Tesco pregnancy test is causing confusion.
I’ve heard that the Tesco tests can give evaporation lines which look like positive results. I was just wondering if anyone has anything like this before?
TIA

They are quite clear lines. I would buy a first response test and see what that says x

I could of written this post exactly. Could you tell me what your outcome was?

sat in limbo. Tescos tests are apparently rubbish

The CB digital can sometimes take a while to show up as pregnant from what I've heard! those tesco ones definitely look positive to me, but maybe get another brand to confirm result?

Just realised this thread was from a month ago, hope all went well and you got the result you wanted x

Hey, I wasn’t pregnant. I think my Sertraline delayed my period by a week. I tried first response and clearblue a few days later and both were negative, won’t ever use the Tesco ones again. I hope this helps, fingers crossed for you getting the outcome that you want.
