Evap lines or pregnant?

Both of these lines appeared after the 10min window but only minutes after. I’m so confused because so much of what I’ve read on here would point to evap lines?
(Tests done one day apart and used early detection clear blue as still 3 days before period due)

Clearblue are terrible for these lines when negative. There’s loads of posts about them. I would never trust cb especially not after the time limit. Get yourself a decent pink dye test. Boots do an own brand early results test which are really good. They will tell you one way or the other.

Personally I've never had a problem with clear blue and I've used them a lot sadly.

Anything outside of the time frame needs to be ignored. Definitely test again with FMU and put them in the bin the moment the time frame is up

First response have sadly been discontinued as there were too many problems with them

And yes as you say they are evaps; you can tell by how thin they are. Also clear blue are usually three minutes and not ten.

If you stick to the three minute window and use fmu it will be accurate x

Ive personally never had any problems with CB they have always been 100% accurate for me. You are supposed to read within 3 minutes (i always used a timer) and then discard after for this exact reason. Id test again after your period with FMU within 3 minutes you will have a clear answer. Good luck

Any update on this as I have very similar looking tests read after the 10 min window

I definitely think mines were evaporation lines, as you’re supposed to disregard anything that comes up after 10 minutes with CB. I did a pink dye test the same night and it was negative (that test said to disregard anything after 5mins and I got an evap line again just after 10mins so very cautious of them now). I was due my period yesterday and it still hasn’t came yet so will test again in a few days if I’m still late. I’d definitely recommend the pink dye tests & I’ll probably buy only digital CB after a late period from now on. Good luck ❤️

I took another two this morning and one was a pink line but it didn't go the whole way down and another was negative, so confused lol this is the one with the partial line

Oh no that’s so frustrating! No wonder so many of us just end up confused!
