Ok, im on day25 of a 28 day cycle. I didnt think i could be pg this month as i was using opk's and couldnt see a surge when i tested.

However, just randomly i thought i would use one of my batch of pg tests bought from ebay last month, they claim to be 10miu and so are the most sensitive and early in detecting pg (apparently). Anyway i did a sample in a cup - sorry tmi alert ... it was really dark and concentrated as i dont think i had been to the loo for about six hours plus had not had much to drink today, anyway as the colour ran across the test you could see the second line straight away, i took it downstairs to show DH and he could see it too.

The test is still showing the second line BUT i took another one (about an hour after the first) with a different not-held-very-long sample and it came up negative

The test with the postive line also did not go completely white like the negative test did the background of it is all streaky and pink still although both lines are still visible, i wonder if this initial line i saw is on a faulty test (they are only ebay cheapys) and thats why the backgroung of the test is still quite pinky and streaky?

I consulted poas.com and apparently evap lines dont appear straight away just after the 10 mins?

This is our 1st month really trying and it would be amazing if it had worked especially as the opk didnt show bugger all but the subsequent negative has made me a bit i thought a line was a line and it did look like a stronger sample but looking at the test with both lines it has not gone clear white in the background so maybe its faulty ... ahhh sorry for the waffling - what do the wise and knowing mumsnetters think?

Oh, I am sorry. It raelly did look like a BFP to me. Any sign of AF yet? Proffers another kitkat

Nope nothing yet, i am not due till Thursday though - did two tests today the first one first thing then a last ditch attempt at one this afternoon because i had held on for 6 hours, still neg. I did see on the internet this afternoon after a bit of research that some of the ebay cheapies are notorious for smudgy pink evap lines [wishes she'd known before announcing it to DH all smiley emotcion]

Thats the thing silver it looked like a bfp to me too but comparing it to the other tests i have taken today and afterwards yesterday there is something strange in the pinkness that remained and the colour block of pink before the line as well.

Im going to leave that on my profile though so if anyone else gets a dodgy false positive then it might answer their question.

Ive had waaaaayyy too many kitkats today you know.
