Is this a faint positive or evap line?

Been trying for over a year, I am very regular with a 32 day cycle. I am now 10 days late, this test was done at 6 days late and my friend says it’s faint positive. I have since done 3 more tests which are definitely negative. I am heartbroken because I wanted it to be positive so badly. Still no sign of period, feel nauseous and can’t bare to do anymore tests for them to be negative. At what point would you guys suggest phoning GP if still no period or do I keep testing FMU?
TIA

I'm really sorry you're having such a tough time, TTC is brutal. If all of your other tests are negative I'd lean towards this being negative too as the line doesn't look like it goes all the way across the window and at six days late you really should have a blazing positive if you are pregnant.

There is a faint line but if others have come up negative it’s likely you’re not pregnant. Have you done a clear blue?

Another negative this morning 😢 but was sick.
yeah so at 3 days late I did 2 little strip tests, both neg, at 6 days I did a Sainsbury’s own brand in the morning (pic above), and then a clear blue digital and tesco own brand same evening (stupid I know 🙈) both neg, the other Tesco on Saturday morning at 9 days late, also neg. And then Saturday night I ordering a box of 15 little test strips because I can’t afford to keep buying the expensive ones. Just done of those and it’s still a negative but I was sick before I done it and there is still no sign of period.
Think I’ll phone the GP when they open, just don’t want them to confirm what I am already thinking

With that many negative tests chances are you’re not pregnant. You could ask the GP for a blood test to check HCG levels or look into getting a private blood test.

I agree, you were sick due to a bug or the stress but not due to being pregnant as the level of hormone needed to make you vomit would be setting off pregnancy tests immediately. It's pretty common for cycles to go a bit wacky during TTC, especially when it's desperately wanted. The body plays cruel tricks ❤️

My body was cruel, got a GP appointment for today but phoned to cancel this morning as it was no longer needed.
Completely devastated as this is the first time since TTC I was significantly late, I’m getting myself through today like every other with the mantra: It will happen, good things come to those who wait. Just wish I didn’t have to wait so long lol, I know a year isn’t long in the grand scheme of things but I'm
inpatient.
Thank you for your guys comments x

Do you track ovulation? Sometimes late periods are just caused by late ovulation. For most people their luteal phase stays the same. So by tracking ovulation you’ll know better when to expect your period. I find that helps because you know when you’re actually “late” etc

Oh it's a long time. You're entitled to be upset and angry so don't feel you have to minimise your feelings. Huge hugs.
