After the 3-5 min window, easy@home pregnancy

[Greenflamingos]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm really new to early testing. I've only ever used regular tests when AF was due or late.
This test is from this morning when I woke up. In the 3-5 minute window it looked negative to me, then I got called away and left it on the side. About 40-60 minutes later I came back to a line. If this is after the 3-5 window is it likely a false positive? I read about evaps and indents but I'm afraid I'm not sure what I'm looking for to know.
Thanks for any help!

Should add I am prob about 11dpo

After that long, it’s probably an evap line. You need to read it within the time frame stated. Try again in a couple of days?

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply! <3

I use those tests and leave them all the time and have never had a line like this, so I would be retesting now 😂 wouldn't be able to wait a few days, but that's just me

I'm not sure my nerves can stand more tests 🤣 I'm going to try and ignore it until AF comes... haha

Thanks for replying ❤

I used those tests for a loooong time and my negatives were always negative. Even when I'd go and check hours later in a different light (TTC drives you a bit nuts sometimes!). One time I had the lightest ever evap but it didn't have any pink, just a kind of grey shadow. So, I think you're pregnant! Congrats!

I've had quite a few 'evaps' with easy@home after the timeframe, though 3 were one after the other getting darker and my boots early test turned positive after a few hours too.
It seems 50/50 whether it's actually positive or not. I think the tests are so sensitive they pick up the tiniest amounts of hcg from embryos that haven't quite implanted yet.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

Well clearly I couldn't wait until AF was due (tomorrowish) but I had a load of cramps like period pain in the night and was upset so I took another test this morning and this time there was a line within 5 mins. Its pinker irl than the photo, I'd say, but faint still so I still can't bring myself to believe. I have had a MC before so I'm nervous.

Thanks again to those who responded ❤

Yes, you’re pregnant! Congratulations
