Evap lines.

Hey ladies.
I took an HPT this morning and while waiting for the result window to do it's magic my son had an accident (climbing a bookcase) so I didn't read the result in the required time (5 minutes). When I did finally get to look at it, it was positive. Not a BOLD positive, but not a discoloured or very faint one. (I googled evap lines a bit, images and regular)
SO I thought. Blimey. And went to get another test. But this time I got just a regular cheap first response one (the first test was a dif brand quick response that you can test 10 days after Ov.) and it was Neg. So I'm thinking the first was just an evap line?? Should I test again tomorrow with first pee of the day with the same test brand? Has anyone else had evap lines and what did they look like?

What cycle day are you & are you late?

The best test for early testing is meant to be discovery. I would be inclined to use that if AF is not late or wait till it is & use a cheaper one. Do it first thing so to use FMU.

I have never seen an evap line but if your test showed 2 coloured lines even a faint one I would be thinking pg...

The first one was second pee of the day ^_^ and was the Quick Response. I got it from the pharmacy. The second test was a First Response (7 dollars from countdown) and was a dip in a cup one. I don't know when AF is due because I m/c first week in August. I know my hormone levels Def. went back to normal.
From what I can tell from good old google Evap lines are commonly a different colour and VERY faint. Faint enough that it BARELY shows up in a photo. my line is pink, and would show up in a photo I think.

Do you have another one to do in the am tomorrow?

Sound like it might be pos

I have never heard of quick response and can't find it on the net... is it the one with the purple cover over the pee part? I understand they are less suspectible to evaps with the plastic cover... but first response are pretty reliable. How long after the time did you read the first test?

I counted my m/c as my first day of AF even tho it went on a lot long than AF usually did. So if you are UTD you could be a bit early for a dark line, FX

The only reason I even knew I had had a m/c was because I tested early and got what I thought was a evap line and went to have bloods done which came back UTD. I miscarried less than a week later which was the day after AF was due. It was no longer than a normal AF.
The quick response has a purple cap on it and the result window has a plastic cover which not all HPTs have. When I was UTD with my son I used a test with a purple cap but it wasn't a quick response.
I read the test at about 10 minutes rather than 5 because I was putting plasters on a one year old ^_^

I think that is the problem with early testing. But with saying that it does sound like you are late & I would do another test, you could ask your Dr for a follow up blood test.

Crap. I broke the page!

Thats doesn't look like an evap line
