Evaporation line?

Hey, I’m currently 2 days late for my period and took this test yesterday and it started to show up like this after around 5 mins but gradually got darker as the day went on. I took an early digital this morning and it was negative, so I’m really confused. Does this look like an evap line? TIA

Hiya, I can't see a pic, but wouldn't go by anything that happens after the 5 minute window. (Negative tests can go darker, which totally messes with your head!). Maybe wait a couple of days and test again?

Edit: can now see the pic! That looks positive to me!

Ahh thank you ! I’ve seen loads of people saying they get evaporation lines with clear blue but I just thought that one looked a bit strong? Just confused about the digital being negative but will def wait and see what happens!

That looks more of a positive than an evaporation line but the only way to know is to take a pink dye test and see if you get a line there too.

I’d say that looks more like an evap line. It’s very thin and fades in the middle. If it was that strong and you’re two days late a digital should show up.

Use a pink dye test with sensitivity of 10miu.
