boots early tests - evap lines?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had experience of evap lines on the boots 5 days early test?

I took one this morning (am 10/11 DPO) - there was immediately a colourless indent line which then disappeared after about 1 min - then the test looked negative though near the end of the 5 min window there was a v v v v faint line visible (like, SUPER faint, but you know, I was looking hard). It was hard to say whether it had any pink in it or was grey. I'm testing as my boobs have been really sore and this isn't a PMS symptom for me, but is symptom I've had with my two prior pregnancies.

I know the answer is just to test in a couple of days and see, which is what I'll do, but I am just curious to whether evaps on these are a common thing, or whether anyone had something like this and went on to have a bfp (basically, to see how much hope I can reasonably have!).

Can anyone help me, took a clear blue and a boots own, I feel I can see a line on boots but clear blue is negative. Worried it’s an indent, 12DPO for boots and 13DPO for clear blue.. would you say it’s a line or am I going crazy? Boobs are ridiculously sore and heavy and been tired last few days

Hey,
I hope you don’t mind me asking what happened with your test @anonymous436 ? I have tested with one of these today and have the exact same thing!! I’ve never had a line before if they’ve been negative so would be weird if it was false but it’s so light I’m not sure I can get excited x

@AnonTTCwhat DPO are you? My first BFPs with these at 9dpo (I know, I know! Not to be recommended) were such squinters not even the Pregnancy Checker AI thing clocked it. I was convinced it was the indent, but the following day was a lot more clearer. I’m now 20 weeks!

I did another of the same test this morning and had the same annoying line, came up within 5 min. I’m pretty certain it’s the indent - these tests are AWFUL

You are doing them too early. Just wait until your period is due. Or get a frer.

You're driving yourselves crazy by testing far too early. Tempting though it is.

I was 13DPO, so I'd expect a much stronger line :(
I did another this morning and it was stark negative, so not sure if it was just a dodgy test or a chemical. I've never had a line before on these though unless it's been positive so very strange!

Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy x
