Right so I took three tests now and they all keep coming up with this really really faint line but they're different brands of tests aswell and it appears within the 5 min timeline so I was thinking is it an evap line but I find it a coincidence that I'm like 2 days late for my period (never am) my nipples hurt and these really faint lines.

I've took pregnancy tests in the past and never seen these

I don't know if it's possible I'm even pregnant as I am not on contraception but I use the pull out method which apparently is a myth that can get you pregnant? Feel like I'm going crazy here

That looks negative to me

So you can absolutely get pregnant on the pull out method. There is always the precum which contains plenty of sperm. I can see what you mean about the line. I'd potentially expect it to be darker if you're already 2 days late but would definitely say get some different branded tests (like a first response) and try again in a couple days. You may have ovulated later this cycle.
Good luck, whichever way you want it to go!

It looks like a very faint line to me which means you'd be in the very early stages of pregnancy. Test first thing tomorrow morning when pregnancy hormones are strongest and you might get a more obvious positive x

Looks like an early positive to me. Get a digital and test in a day or two using the first wee of the morning.

The success rate of the pull out method is about 78% - so, over the course of a year, about 1 in 5 women using that method will get pregnant.

I do see a faint line on that test - I recommend testing again tomorrow, with the first wee of the day, on a sensitive test (like a FRER)

Looks positive to me. Do you have pics of the other tests?

I have had 2 previous misscarriages where the tests by time my period was due the lines were soo dark.

However my period was due 1-2 days ago however the test strips are soo light. I've done 2 clearblue which are pretty dark but for some reason the strips are not getting dark. Starting to panic.
