First Response Evap ??

Hey everyone, wasn't sure if this was worth starting a thread over but can't stop obsessing lol (I'm sure you'll know the feeling)

Well I've done 3 hpts now- 11, 12 and 13DPO and have been naughty and not thrown them away when there was nothing after 10 mins. I've been getting the FR dipsticks and they seem to be evap madness for me. But I just liked seeing those second lines there even knowing they didn't mean anything! Well I've been going back and looking at this morning's one (13DPO) and that old evap(?) has shown up after an hour whereas the other ones took nearly a day..

So my question is should I go out and get a more sensitive test or just keep waiting? I know I should be patient but what would you do?

And do you know if the FR dipsticks and midstreams have the same sensitivity?

TIA for any replies

it took longer than 10mins for my BFP to show on a FR dip stick.... I had to put ALL the groceries away, and Vac the house so I was gone for a good half hour.

If that helps, and we know that wasn't a lie

Ooh that sounds promising- will try not to get my hopes up but thanx guys

Lol it's all good only got 13 hours to wait now so trying to be patient

the FR dip ones are pretty well known for giving evaps after time... the midstream don't as much. I for one had had heaps, and had them not that long after time! ones that look very convincing too, infact I got so annoyed with them I wrote to the company about them LOL... It very well could be the start of something, or could just be an evap (even if you are preg and it's too early)... they are pretty damn sensitive for picking up hcg, and often seem to pick it up at lower levels than 25 as many people here have experienced. But from my experience, the lovely pink looking evaps after time can mean nothing so best to just throw them out at ten minutes and not torture yourself... Fx your next test is a nice bright pink couple of lines in ten minutes!!! Good luck

Yeah I also have one that I kept from May (definitely was not pregnant) that I cranked out as reference. They look very similar if a bit more pinkish than that one.

Went to the supermarket and lo and behold the midstream ones are on special

FX I will know one way or the other in the morning

I have had so many evaps on those FR dip sticks, really hacked me off! and the evaps stayed there too, I definitely wasnt pregnant any of those times as I got AF bang on time.

The FR midstream tests however are awesome, never had evaps on those, just a plain negative or positive result. I got a positive on one of those at about 11 DPO with my DD. The dip sticks are great for picking up hcg if you are pregnant, but, they are also "awesome" for evaps.

Good Luck, I hope its a BFP for you this time

Good luck Rach! I have my fingers crossed for ya.

Well I got very impatient and just wanted a conclusive result- so went out and bought a discover. Stupid BFN. No trace of a line whatsoever. I'm pretty sure I'm 13DPO so a discover would definitely have shown something by now.

Feel like an idiot! Just waiting for AF now.

Thanks for all your well wishes
