Positive test or evap line?

Hello,
I did a test today at 9dpo after feeling really sick the last two days (I was sick with both previous pregnancies really early).
I did the test and it was negative and threw it in the bin, an hour later I went to put something else in the bin and the test was positive? I’ve never had this before and everything I’ve googled says that evap lines don’t normally have colour, but I can’t really tell if this does or not?
ive attached the pic for reference if any one has any experience with this
I’ll be retesting tomorrow
thank you!

Positive test or evap line?

If you're reading it outside of the recommended window, then you can't trust it. Could be either way.

Thank you, I did think that but then got all in my head about it!

I find these forums so frustrating because lots of people will be like yes congrats! And then others are adamant it’s not so it’s not really helpful when you’re losing your mind over whether it is positive or not. I never want to give false hope because the negative is so much harder when you’re a little excited, but I have seen so many on here say they threw the test out and then saw the line a while later and they went on to have a baby. So I don’t think anything is hard and fast! Even though they do say not to read it beyond the window. So fingers crossed for you. Please do keep us updated, I love to hear the news!

yeah I get that, sometimes it’s useful to just throw it into the world! Deffo helped me yesterday feel less crazy!
I tested today and it was a positive!
