Negative test changed to positive after an hour, could it be evap?

I came off the pill a month ago ttc but assumed it wouldn’t happen immediately. I haven’t had a period since stopping taking it. I did a clear blue test this evening and it read negative so I left it in the bathroom for some time. The result changed to ‘positive’ after over an hour so I’m unsure if it’s an evap line.

I would say this is an evap line unfortunately . The result line should be as thick as the test line. I would give it a week and retest if still no period.

It could be an evap but I’ve had three successful pregnancy’s and also done many tests when I haven’t been pregnant. The only time I got a line after the time frame was when I was actually pregnant, maybe retest in a few days xx

Yep, it's out of the time window and the line is too narrow x

Looks like an evap. Retest in a few days. Hope you get your positive soon

I agree evap line. I had many of those over the years if you leave a clearblue out it can get a thin line. So yeah a thin line that appears after the timeframe needs to be discarded.
