Could i be pregnant?

Hi, I'm just wondering what someone else would make of my situation. So I havent missed a period, my last period was 15th-23rd March (9 days is a bit out of the ordinary for me these days, I'm normally around 5-7 days). I have a copper coil that is due to expire in May, it had a 5 year lifespan. Anyway I've kept having days where I've left sick and off and I just kept getting the feeling that I needed to take a pregnancy test. I took a clear blue non digital test yesterday evening, waited the 3 mins and it looked negative. Then I sat on my bed browsing on my phone for about 10 minutes, then happened to look at the test again and could see a line developing. I obviously didn't know what to make of that so my partner went and grabbed me a 2pk of clear blue digital tests. I did one straight away and it was negative, I then did the other one this morning with my first wee of the day and that was negative too. But I'm sat here feeling sick and horrible (not sure if I'm being paranoid and making it worse) and I just can't get my head around the first test I did, I'll attach a picture to this post. I know this is a bit pointless as no one here can tell me if I'm pregnant or not, but all I can really do is wait until due on (11 days) and see if my period comes, so in the meantime here I am!

The difficulty with CB is the evaporation line. Any reading after the 10 minute window risks being an evap line (it’s happened to me), and thus unrealisable. Wait for a few days and retest again. If you are pregnant hcg will de doubling every 48 hours so in 2 days you could get a different result.

Best to retest closer to when you are due. Clear blue are terrible for evaps.

It is possible to get pregnant with a copper coil, we have coil twins.

Those skinny off-centre lines after time has elapsed are almost always evap lines on blue dye tests.

Lostlostlost3 · 30/03/2022 18:36

No. That's an evap line.

ChloeHel · 30/03/2022 20:58

Hi OP, that’s an evap line. I had the exact same thing with that style of CB test 10 minutes after. Wait another 2 weeks and retest.

Harlevie · 30/03/2022 21:08

Thank you for all the replies! Seems most likely an evap line then. I will wait to see if my period comes and if not I will retest 😊

Try a first response pink test if you want to know. That is an evap.
