Faint positives or evap lines?

loubielou5 · 08/01/2024 13:37

Hey all. Ben trying to conceive for 6 months now. I've been tracking ovulation and periods etc and im always regular or with a my period sometimes a day early. I'm currently 3 days late but tests are only showing a very faint line. I was assuming they were evap lines but how likely is it that they're all evap lines? I've never had one of them before that I've noticed. But if it is a faint positive should I be worried that its so faint at 3 days late ? I've had a blighted ovum and an mmc before so major anxious. Pic is attached.

Hello, I can see the lines and it would seem unlikely to have so many evaps. Although i did have a few evaps on tests like those last month. Can you get a different brand of test to check in the morning? Fingers crossed for you

Considering that you're a few days late, it does unfortunately look like an evap to me - sorry

Imamumgetmeoutofhere · 08/01/2024 17:48

Can you get hold of a digital test to confirm? They look positive to me, evaps are usually grey.

drowninginsick · 08/01/2024 19:47

Hmm could you be out with your ovulation dates, they're quite pale but weird to have them ALL be evap so I'd lean towards pregnant but with cautious optimism in case it's a chemical or something 🙂

Hi I've seen a few posts from yourself. And I've refrained from commenting but your comments are always very negative....
You never hardly say anything positive.....
They do look like positives op it would be very strange to get so many evaps...I hope they get darker for you in the next few days

@loubielou5 hi hun, it doesn’t look like evaps looks positives to me. However I absolutely get how you feel. I tested sat watch was 15 dpo 1 day after missed on an early test and had a legible line. Tested on a normal on yesterday 16dpo and was exactly like yours . I didn’t test today to give some time for hcg levels to rise but will test tomorrow. I absolutely get how you feel. Good luck and let us know how you get on as will I xx

Update..took a clearblue this morning and there's deffo a faint blue line not grey. But digital says not pregnant. It is just a cheap one off amazon so I might try a cleablue digital tomorrow morning.

@loubielou5 hi hun, i thought I’d update you. AF turned up today so as suspected I think I must’ve had a chemical. But FYI anyone reading, I’ve been trying for quite a few months and this was the first one using Smep so if anyone’s thinking of it’s worth the hassle I’d say yes give it a go. It wasn’t my month for an egg sticking, but I hope it is for yours. Baby dust xxx

Hi OP.

There wasn't a tag.

The PP didn't know that the REPLY button on here doesn't work

You need to click on the three dots and select QUOTE for the avoidance of doubt.

TheShellBeach · 09/01/2024 15:15

Anyway OP. Sorry for the derail.

With regard to your tests.

Unfortunately, I think you'd have a stronger line today at 4 dpo. I'd be worried that this pregnancy isn't viable (so a chemical).

Unless you ovulated a few days later than you thought, maybe?

loubielou5 · 10/01/2024 12:40

Started bleeding today so fingers crossed for next month 🙂 xx

There's nothing negative about being honest - I was just saying what I saw. I'm also not the only one who suspected an evap.

And OP, sorry to hear it wasn't your cycle, wish you baby dust for the next one.

TheShellBeach · 10/01/2024 15:04

@loubielou5

I am so sorry to read your update. That's very upsetting when you had such high hopes. I know how disappointed you must be feeling.

I wish you well for the future. Maybe next month - hopefully.

Tosieposie · 10/01/2024 15:09

I think you had a chemical pregnancy as all those test are positive :(

Hollycharlie · 10/01/2024 17:21

@loubielou5 sorry to hear . It’s so rubbish 😭good luck next month xx

Bex4567 · 10/01/2024 18:04

It's not just this post it's alot of posts I see your name where your very negative even though there's vvfl lines on people's tests it's like u don't want it to be positive..
It's only what I've noticed

Ttcx12 · 09/02/2024 18:33

Do you think this is a evap or positive please ? I cannot decide x

Faint positives or evap lines?
Hollycharlie · 09/02/2024 21:56

@Ttcx12 how many days po are you? Looks positive but as you’ve read there was a few chemicals on here after it being so faint after af due but if your early on it looks good. 👍
