Faint positive or evaporation line?

Question

Ok, today is 10DPO for me. I know it's way early to test, and because I've been so obsessive in past months (and it never turns out well), I decided to refrain from testing until 12DPO. Of course, I was sitting at the computer this morning, and randomly decided to take a test (I hadn't had my FMU yet). I took the test, and got in the shower probably around 6:05, maybe a little later. At 6:25, I looked at the test, and I saw a very faint line. My question is, what is the difference between a faint positive and an evaporation line? I know usually a line is a line, but since I waited past the recommended time, I don't know. I know I'll have to take another test, but I can't do that until TOMORROW! So, any help? Oh, it's a test from Early Pregnancy Tests.

Answer 1

actually I am in the same boat as you right now!!!!!! I think you should wait and take another test and see what those results are. I have heard that an evaporation line has no color in it its like almost grey. GOOD LUCK to youuuu!! BABY DUSTTT!!!!!!

Answer 2

The package directions will tell you not to read a negative result after 10 minutes because that is when evaporation lines start showing up.  What I do is set a timer for 9 minutes and 30 seconds.  After I take the test, I walk away, then when the timer goes off, I check it, then throw it away.  That way I cannot spend too much time over-analyzing whether or not there is a hint of a shadow of a second line.  Also, usually evap lines tend to be more grayish while positive lines are pink, or blue, depending on the test.  Check out  

Answer 3

The result shown after waiting the recommended time are unreliable... It could be a evaporation line or could be a positive... it's impossible to tell.

I hope it was a positive! The best thing to do is check tomorrow morning.  I know it seems ages away but I hope it's worth the wait!

Good Luck!!
