hi,
im not due on my period until tomorrow but i have had some pain/tenderness/sensitivity in my breast for the past 10 days and a thickening/lump in one which had me really worried.
i did one early detection pregnancy test last night which showed a very thin line and after reading on the internet i thought it likely to be a evap line as showed after 5 minutes (test advised to check after 3).
i have done another this morning with first urine of the day (although not very concentrated as a drink a pint of water before i sleep each night). and initially thought this was negative result again. after half an hour i checked the test again before leaving the house and have seen a very thick and dark blue line appeared. is it possible that an evaporation line could be this thick and coloured or am i pregnant??

{i have been pregnant twice before and both times line showed almost immediately but then i was much further along than i would be if i am pregnant this time - found out at 5 and 8 weeks before , would be 3 if currently pregnant. i have also had many negative tests in the past which i have continued to check past the advised time but have never seen any evap lines before}

can an evaporation line be this thick and dark?

I think these are positive, I know it was after the time but evaps on these tests tend to be a thin line in my experience

The bottom looks negative and the top looks positive! Evaps are super common with these tests but the top line is nice and thick.
I'd take a digital to see the words :)
Congratulations! 🥰

Looks positive to me. Congrats!

Every early pregnancy test I've ever done that was negative at the set time but then positive 10/20/30 minutes later (when you shouldn't check it) DID turn into a pregnancy - 4 times, I found out very early with them all.

Every negative test I've had when I wasn't pregnant (many) has stayed resolutely negative even hours later.

I know they say you shouldn't check after X time but ime it's definitely possible to be a little bit pregnant which takes longer than standard to show!
