Clear & Simple - pink line outside of 10 mins. Evap?

Hi!

just wondering if anyone else has had a pink line (which also looks like it sits in the wrong place) outside of the test timeframe with Clear & Simple early response (the cheap tests) ? And has it been a false positive?

I took this test and it didn’t show positive within first 10 mins, but when I went back to it 30 mins later it looked like the first pic.

An hour later it looked like the second pic and 4 hrs later it looks very pink…

I know you’re not meant to check outside the timeframe, but it’s so pink that I’m curious to hear opinions!

I’ve taken a few of these tests in the past and they’ve never looked like this before. Maybe it’s faulty? Not holding out much hope 😊

Definitely looks promising! I know we shouldnt check past the certain time but this looks like a line not an indent. Do you have another test?
Hope this is the start of something positive for you 🤞🏻✨

@VixFromThe6ix thank you 🙏. I did a Frer yesterday and it was a clear positive! 😲
I’d taken a few cheap ones in the meantime and they also showed a feint line after the time limit. Strange!

Congratulations! Can I ask how many days past ovulation you were when you did that test? I had an almost identical line (very pink but thin) when I saw my previously negative pregnancy test a full day after taking it (wasn't checking it on purpose - just saw it when taking out the bins!). That was at 14dpo so I had presumed any positive line would have come up immediately. Not sure whether to try and test again as now 16dpo and no sign of AF.

Just to update for anyone who finds this thread - very positive immediate result on clear blue pregnancy test this morning at 18dpo.

@anovu Really sorry, I didn't see your message.

Big congratulations on your positive!!!

Sounds like this is a thing on Clear & Simple then... I found that when I changed the angle of it almost filled up a second time and that's when the line came in.

For reference for anyone else looking at this thread in the future. That Clear & Simple one was at 9dpo. Today I'm 14dpo and took a normal Clearblue test and it showed a strong positive

I tested one evening- negative so I went to the pub! Took the bins out next morning and a line had appeared. She’s now 21! Fingers crossed to all of you testing.

anovu · 12/04/2023 10:16

@staystill Thanks! Mine was a co-op test (see pic).

I didn't even look at it particularly closely by the end of the time as I thought if anything it should be a strong line, so I suppose there is a possibility that a very faint line could have been there and I didn't notice.

I was testing at 14dpo and had cramps 12-13dpo so maybe just a late implantation and not enough hcg at that point.

Clear blue cross one on the other hand was up in about 20-25 seconds at 18dpo!

@staystill I just came across your thread and have had similar today with my tests.

Had a super bad dye run on the first but line showed in 30 mins, did a second one which had a line within the timeframe - both got darker over the day.

Then had a faulty test!

You’ve given me hope for tomorrow though, hoping the FRER is positive!

Hi, I know this is a few months old now. But came across this post after I did the same test today. Not sure if anyone will answer this as it’s been a while but just wondering if anyone thinks this looks promising? Currently 4 days late and had negative tests the past few days. Month 5 TTC so have everything crossed

Redpanda21 · 23/11/2023 11:00

@SJayne12 Looks promising. Mine was definitely a bfp and nearly 32 weeks now

TheShellBeach · 23/11/2023 11:04

Hi @SJayne12 although that does look positive, it's a faint line for four days late.
I'd be worrying about the possibility of a chemical pregnancy.

But I could be wrong and you may have ovulated late.

SJayne12 · 23/11/2023 11:26

Thank you both for replying.

@Redpanda21 congratulations!

yeah I’m not 100% convinced with the line being so faint at this stage. Annoyingly I didn’t actually track ovulation for the first time this month because I ended getting so down about it not happening yet we just said we’d go with the flow this month without tracking. So I can’t confirm exactly when I ovulated, so late ovulation is a possibility. Typical the month my period is late I didn’t track.

I’m going to do another test this afternoon so we’ll see how the goes 🙏🏻

LXT · 10/12/2023 19:12

Hi @SJayne12 - hope you’re well.
I’ve just taken a test and it looks EXACTLY like yours and I’m looking for some hope 🤞🏻

SJayne12 · 12/12/2023 16:47

Good luck! I had a positive on a first response 2 days later. I was originally worried about how faint the line was however i had a scan yesterday and I’m only 5-6 weeks but saw a strong heartbeat and baby doing well. So I must have ovulated late and had this positive at only 3 weeks which explains why it was so faint!

LXT · 12/12/2023 19:51

Ahhh congrats!!!!! + thank you!
have done countless tests since which I don’t even need to squint at. Still early though (10DPO I think) so trying not to get too excited 🙈

SJayne12 · 12/12/2023 21:16

Thank you. Congratulations to you too!

@SJayne12 @Redpanda21 @LXT @Livingonicecream @anovu

hi ladies, sorry for late response. I know this thread is quite old I am really confused. I’m 1 day lat, we have been trying for 4 months since a mmc, I have small symptoms so all looking good. But clear and simple 6 days early test looks like all of yours this came up within time frame and I’ve bought Superdrug tests for the morning but is this an evap line or do we think positive. ❤️❤️thanks girls x

Looks positive to me!

@Livingonicecream thank you. Just see loads of people posting cheapies at 10 dpo that are blazing + and think this can’t be anything 😔

Daniellexox · 23/02/2024 16:23

Hi All,

sorry I’m late to the post. I got this today and wanted to know all of your thoughts? I’m 13 days DPO. I took a digital straight after which was negative but I do not think my levels were strong enough.

I’m currently (what I think) 6 weeks and 3 days calculating from my first day of my last period. I look a LOAD of ultra early clear blue tests which alll had a faint line in the positive line window. I later googled and realised it was an evaporation line so was a bit gutted. Then a couple weeks later with no period (except 2 days of bleeding red with tiny blood clots around 6 day post ovulation) which I initially put down to implantation bleeding but as it got heavier I realised it was a period so again gutted. But now I’ve just don’t another 2 tests which are different to eachother and my previous test and the results are attached.. could you please help me understand what is going on? Today’s text (pictures) were taken 20 days post ovulation and 1 days before my expected period from what my period calendar has told me.

Thank you in advance, I really appreciate any time of feedback ❤️
