Can I get some reassurance this isn't possible? UPDATE #100 - Page 6

post #101 of 164

Ok, so I broke down and took a test.

The thing is, I think I messed it up. I could tell FOR SURE if there was a second line or not so I opened the test(north to 60 inspired me ) and still couldn't tell. So, I put it down, got a phone call, made lunch, etc, and now I look and there's a second pink line. The thing is it's super faint and I'm sure it's an evap line. I wish I wouldn't have taken it apart! :

I'm reading the other thread & noticing everyone saying evap lines aren't pink & now I don't know what to think!! :

Now you're gonna have to test again, maybe in the morning?

And I say have to because we are all reading both threads, and holding our breath for you guys!

good luck.

Uh oh, I created a monster. You're supposed to carry it around in your pocket (maybe even in a sling? ..lol) but never, EVER, walk away from a test before the 10 minutes is up. :

What brand of test was it? Because I have to say, I've been googling about evaporation lines on First Response's, and they have been very common lately. Even the convincing PINK ones. :

If the line showed up after the time expired, then it's an evap line. If it showed up within the allotted time then it's +.

I have always wanted to do that but DH won't give me a sample. Something about it being yucky???

Hmm. I guess I would retest in a couple of days myself. And I would probably grab a microscope and a sample from DH.

It was a FRER. :

I'm sure it's an evap. line because I don't think it was there within the 10 minutes.

I hate to say this, but when I was pg with dd I got what I thought was an evap line because it was just so darned faint you could barely see a thing. So I went and got tested again at PP and it came out -. But I actually was pg : which i found out weeks later at my Drs

I guess test again in a few days and use FMU!

You could feed the frenzy even more by posting a picture of the test...

These threads are bringing it ALL back to me....

The bright and sunny day. Its was the day AF was due. It was the first month we were "trying." I took an old test I'd had for like, 10 years. There were 2 lines, but I had no idea what that meant. (no instructions)

*heart thumping with an educated guess*

I drove like a bat out of hell to the local store and bought...um...3 different tests. The electronic kind etc... DH wanted to KILL me when he saw the receipt. I POAS immediately and got the electronic "PREGNANT."

I sat in complete shock for 30 minutes. Absolute stunned shock. I did not believe any of the tests

I lined all the positive tests on the kitchen counter and asked DH what he thought this meant?: Then I got a blood test the next morning. The NP thought I was out of my mind.

Just felt like sharing.

I hope what each mama wants, each mama gets.

Okay, I've had faint line, so faint it was barely visable in very early pregnancy before my period was to arrive. I re tested early AM first urine a day or so later -- wow, not so faint.

You are really going to have to re-test, wait for your period due date and get an electronic one, that says pregnant, not pregnant maybe that would clear up any confusion and be worth the price.

Ok, here's a couple pictures... Although it's seriously so light I can't really get it to show up.

Crap. Now you have me thinking mine may not be an evaporation line after all, because my line is WAY darker than that. I can barely see it in the first picture, but not at all in the second picture.
post #116 of 164
I don't see a line there at all.
post #117 of 164
I can't see one at all. I think you may just be seeing where the chemical is on the strip that would catch the HcG if you had it.

I think it's -.

I think it's an evap.

do you guys use condoms? Because if he ejaculates inside of you, there's your sample right there

The is it/is it not threads always make me think of that scene in "Singles" where they're debating if the pregnancy test is sorta, kinda, maybe blue and the camera pans out and it's so blue it's cobalt.
