Clearblue reliability - pic included

[firstroundIVF]

Hello,

I am 13dp5dt and have my Beta test later today. I've just tested what I think is positive on a Clearblue test. I've seen a lot on this forum about Clearblue being unreliable but unfortunately it is the only test I have right now.

There is a very clear visible line but I've seen things about "evaporation lines" causing false positives - this photo is after 5 minutes of waiting so can someone please confirm if this can be confidently assumed to be positive even though it's a bit of a broken line? Would this be considered faint or dark?

It's my first ever positive (hopefully) so I'm not entirely sure and I don't quite believe it.

And another

@firstroundIVF evap lines are pale, that looks very positive to me, congratulations!

If this is within 5 minutes then I think you can be very sure that this is a positive - congratulations! I would definitely grab a first response pink dye test though to be sure - I’ve done a LOT of pregnancy tests over the years and clearblue can mess with your head whereas the pink dye ones have always been definitive for me - if there is any trace at all of a pink line you are definitely pregnant! Xx

Thanks both for replying!

I popped out and bought two other types of tests, both of which were positive too! So feeling hopeful for the Beta later....think it would be such a cruel twist if that one ends up being negative, which my brain is definitely trying to convince me of right now!!

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
