Very early faint line or just an evap?!

I don’t know what possessed me to take a test really as we’re not trying for a baby at all (have 3 kids and are pretty certain we’re done) but I had a few ‘symptoms’ happen that I remember happening in my other pregnancies, I had two internet cheapies in the drawer, checked that they were still in date and did them this morning with my first wee and this was the result of both (I dipped the second one kind of in hope it wouldn’t have that very faint, shadowy line but it did).

Now I’m not tracking ovulation at all but I’d say I’m probably 8 or 9dpo. What does everyone think? Annoyingly I have no other tests to check now but I’m also pretty certain it’s a dud test right? Like whatever it is, it’s hardly visible. Just worrying as all my previous pregnancies seem to have started with similar barely there lines.

The photo has uploaded a little hazy so I probably look neurotic but it’s definitely there in real life 😅😅

Looks like a shadow/ evap. These tests are well known for giving false positives too with very pink lines. There’s lots of posts about them and it happened to me too

Yeah I am thinking (and hoping) the same,

Although it’s slightly worrying as I thought my other children’s first lines were evaps too 😂😅

my friend had some internet cheapies and gave me 5 to take over the next few days. Of course I did one as soon as I got home. This is what I got again..

If these are indents then I cannot imagine how much upset they’re causing to people!

It looks negative. Are you using contraception?

Yup, well.. we use condoms but this month stupidly did the pull out method a couple times. Which I know isn’t wise but we were a little wild and stupid this month 🥴

So no then. Hopefully you are just paranoid because you know you’ve had unprotected sex, fingers crossed for you that the tests stay negative!

I will have certainly learnt my lesson! 😂

Next time remember the morning after pill is your friend! (If you can take it)

I can see something on the second pic you uploaded. I guess to know for sure if it is an evap or not is to wait until a missed period and test again.
