Evaporation line or positive? Help

I am needing advice - I’ve recently been on holiday with my partner & I had a suspicion my coil has fallen out as I could not feel the strings.
i am not actively trying to get pregnant but I thought for precaution I would take a test before work, it was negative at first glance but after returning home from work I could see a second faint line, please can someone give me a second opinion? Is it an evaporation line? Or positive pregnancy test. I will attach photo. Thanks x

I can see a second line in the photo, but if this is after a day at work (8+ hours?) it could well be an evaporation line. Is it grey or pink?

I'd take another FRER test or similar and check within the timeframe.

I'd say that's an evap line with it being so thin but best to double test to confirm

as pp, you need to retest, read the test in the time specified and don’t open the test because that does affect drying times and gives evaps.

the line on the test is pink but not as bold as the other

It’s hard to tell if it’s an evaporation line but I had the same, negative at first but a few hours later it was positive/ an evaporation line.
I tested again a day later and it was positive within the timeframe 😊
Did you test again?

I took a test and 15 mins later it was still negative. This was d12 of my cycle.

went to throw it out 24 hours later and there was a line. Thought it was an evaporation line.

iIt wasn’t!

DS is now 18 and in his first year at uni.
