"Evaps" on all tests?

I'm about 11dpo today and have been using the same box of pregnancy tests since about 6dpo, (too early I know, but a "woo woo" friend randomly told me I was pregnant so it made me test early!), it was brand new. Absolutely all of them were totally stark white (obviously) but the past 3 or 4 I've done (over 2-3 days) all have an "evap" line after about 10-15 minutes. I think it has a bit of colour to it.

Now I know I need to just be patient and keep testing, which I will, but surely it's fairly unlikely that 3 or 4 of them in a row all have evaps when none of the earlier ones did? Could it be that they're not evaps but rather a vvvv faint line? If they all appeared within the 5 minute time limit I wouldn't be questioning it as much, so it's throwing me off.

Any positive outcomes in similar situations? We've been TTC for almost 2 years so I'm really holding on to all hope at the moment.

Can you share pics? Sounds like maybe they might be the start of something...

I don't believe in evap lines.

On a pink dye test, the only way a line can appear is if it senses HCG. A thick line has to start with a faint line!

You can barely see a thing on the pictures so I'll look like a mad woman, they're definitely clearer in real life. I'll try and add the "clearest" one but you may not see a thing! I can't tell if the lines are pink or grey. I think they're pink.

After almost 2 years of this I'm positive that there's something on the tests, usually there's no doubt they're negative, I've only had this one other time and it was unfortunately a chemical.

Bear in mind this is taken a couple of hours after the time limit! I just feel like id have to be the unluckiest person in the world to have 3 consecutive evaps.

I use these tests and I do think I can see something on yours! So tricky though isn't it... You said yourself the best thing you can do is wait and test again in a day or so... Crossing my fingers for you!

It's a pain isn't it! I know there's something there, but it's still too faint to say for certain if the line is grey or pink. I'll try again later and tomorrow morning, and will probably spend all evening bent over the tests with a magnifying glass!

Here's hoping!!

Am I completely delusional? In real life I can see a shadow, photo was taken after 5 minutes, before 10. I don't know if I'm just imagining it anymore.

I usually only have about 11-12 days max of luteal phase, so I'm currently 12dpo, 1 day late for my period. Surely if this was positive it should be darker at this point?

Uuugh. This is month 2 after an HSG, I was SO hoping this was it. Not going to get any work done today at all. Thank you for answering!
