Evap line?

Is this an evap line - didn't see anything straight after the test but this has come up.

I'm 99% this is an evap line, but it is blue and Google says evap lines are colourless.

Can you get hold of any pink dye tests? Those clear blue are notorious for dodgy evaps! I wouldn't trust it personally until compared with another brand. I hope you get the answer you want.

Unfortunately clear blue evaps do often have colour. If looked at a long time after they can be very very dark blue in fact. Just normally very thin as well. I'd only ever trust a pink dye these days.

How many dpo are you? You may just be testing a little early

13dpo. I have a headache which is usually a reliable period predictor. Its so frustrating, been ttc for 8 months.

Now 2 days late and feeling sick as hell but still getting negative tests. What the hell is wrong with my body?

I feel for you it's a frustrating time isn't it! Are you often late or is this unusual for you?

Are you tracking ovulation, could you have ovulated later than you thought?

It might be best to take a few days away from testing, I know easier said than done! 😩 do something nice for yourself - a favourite hobby, a nice meal out if your able, to take your mind off things. I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in the ttc bubble and think about nothing else and it does really get you down.

Yeah I'm tracking. I got a peak opk on the 14th so period was due on the 29th.

There's no explanation for it, I'm trying to rest today.

Hi, does this look like an evaporation line on the clear blue test ?
I did the test and forgot to check it within the usual time frame …

So I took a test today I’m not long after ovulation but all day I was peeing way more then normal and felt so gassy and sick I went home and took a test and after half an hour this was the result I just definitely want to know if it looks positive or is it just one of those evap lines

Those are 100% evap lines. The line is very thin and you looked at it after the time frame. Wait until at least 12dpo to try with a pink dye test. Or ideally wait until after you were due. It doesn't mean you're not pregnant, but don't rely on those tests.
