It's something, but is it an evap?

Hi, I've no idea idea how to tell if this is an evap or invalid or all the other terms people use. I don't think I'm imagining there being something!? But not sure what it is.

Please tell me if you think I'm making it up and you can't see anything, too. I know the answer is to test again in a few days...but...my brain is now fried. I knew I shouldn't have tested early!

I can't take any more pictures because I panicked (even though we're trying!) and binned it haha. Came up within 5 mins.

I can only just about make out something on the second photo. How many DPO are you?

Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa · 05/03/2025 10:51

I shall tell my brain to calm down, thanks! I do think there's something, but it could well be just a smudge.

I'm 11 or 12dpo. Got what felt like pre period cramps 5 days before period was due, which was weird (normally have them for two days beforehand) but I have endometriosis so just though oh great, pain is getting worse. But then they eased off which is even more weird. Period not due til Saturday so I shall distract myself and give it time.

P.s. that was pretty much the response I wanted to hear, nice and rational. Thank you!

I’m 7dpo and stupidly today I just did an easy @ home because I have so many 😅 my test looked exactly like yours. Will be waiting to test again tomorrow morning. I have 2 FRER and 1 Digital which I’ll safe for closer to AF being due. I can see something on your tests, just like I did on mine 😅 why do we do this? Hahaha.

I did exactly the same at 7dpo, not sure what the heck I was thinking, too early! God knows, I'm hiding the tests next month if this does turn out to be nothing. The obsession and hope is so unhelpful!

Hope you get the result you want! 😊maybe you'll be a lucky one and yours will show up nice and early!

I’m sorry, but I really can’t see a second line.

Brushbun · 05/03/2025 11:31

@Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa I think because you can buy so many so cheap it’s like what the heck! Why not! Totally with you I’ll be hiding them too 😂 I wasn’t like this with my first two pregnancy’s - perhaps because I’m older I’m more anxious

That's fine, seriously, it is me needing sane people to give me the truth and I appreciate it 😊I don't like what the testing early is turning me into and I really regret doing one today, so it's a good learning experience for the future

I'd give it a few days OP and try with a FRER. They've never failed me 🙂 good luck!

Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa · 07/03/2025 06:26

The difference that 2 extra days and actually using first wee of the day makes...

My husband reckons there's a line with some pink to it, so I'm starting to think maybe I'm not/wasn't crazy.

Eek!?

They look weirdly grey on here but I promise they've got colour to them. Not loads, obviously, since they're faint themselves!

That's positive 🙂 congratulations!!

Brushbun · 07/03/2025 08:35

@Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa thats a line for sure!!! What Dpo are you now hun? Congratulations! I’m 8/9dpo - I know super early to test but I’m a sucker for cheap sticks! I thought I saw something this morning but wishful thinking I think. Also seen on easy at home recent reviews (clicked 1 star to read those) and it was plagued with people this month stating indents on their tests x

nepobaby · 07/03/2025 08:40

OP your second post is definitely a positive. It does not look like an indent at all x

Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa · 07/03/2025 08:44

@JoyousEagle @nepobaby thank you! I can't quite believe it, but absolutely thrilled. Will get a digital (not to take today) as I need to see that word pop up haha. Keeping everything tightly crossed it sticks now.

@Brushbun I can't see anything on yours but like you say, it's too early really to tell. I'm either 13 or 14dpo. I hope you get your positive soon 😊

OP posts:
Brushbun · 07/03/2025 09:03

@Pleasestopjumpingonthesofa you’re right I don’t think there is anything to mine. Will test in a couple more days. So happy for you, please keep us updated with your digital too 🥰

I feel like I can see a vvvvfl here

Brushbun · 07/03/2025 09:24

@Muddysocks1 i just did another one as was 5am when I took that one. I really feel like there’s something. My friend came over a couple of weeks ago and was late for her period so she used one of my tests and there was nothing at all. White stick with one line. I dunno if I’m delulu but here’s test two…

I can definitely see a faint second line!

Brushbun · 07/03/2025 09:52

@Muddysocks1 hmm! Ok! Maybe I’m not totally delulu… just a little for testing early and putting myself through the excitement and anxiety 😂 I’ll test this evening late at night and again tomorrow morning because I am that person. Haha. Keep you updated! Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my sticks! Are you TTC too? X

Ag it’s so hard not too!! I’m 8dpo and have already tested today and yesterday although stark white but still v early!

Brushbun · 07/03/2025 10:26

@Muddysocks1 oo totally very early so I’m with you there. In my head I’m like well I’m out! Then I have a work with myself and remind myself I’m way too early to test. Which brand are you using? I’ve got a couple of frers coming today. May do one on Sunday if my Easy@Home looks stronger tomorrow.

have you been trying long? Any children/pregnacys already? x
