Line or evap? | Mumsnet

Is this a line or evap? It showed within a couple of minutes but almost looks like it has no colour? I’m around 12/13 DPO.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’m just worried as it looks colourless almost. Do you know how long it takes for an evap line to show? Xxx

It is definitely a line :) It may be that your hcG levels are just within the minimum cut off for that particular test, which would result in a faint line. Try it again with first morning urine for the next day or two to see if the line darkens. These cheapie sticks take a while for the lines to go quite dark, so if you want reassurance you may want to take another type of line test like a clearblue on the day of/day after missed period.

I took this test this afternoon and it came up instantly. I’m around 12/13dpo so does this look good to you? I worry for evap lines!!
