Evaporation Lines

I foound this website that discusses evap
lines?
Q: does aimstick hpt have an evaporation
line?
A: yes! As a matter of fact, a lot of
hpt's have evaporation lines! So,
beware! If a test says to read within 10
minutes, then be sure to read the results
within 10 minutes, otherwise, you may see
the evaporation
line and believe it is a positive!
Q: what does an evaporation line look
like?
A: evaporation lines look like a ghost
line. They are always colorless! You can
barely see an evaporation line and if the
line has any color to it at all, then it
should be read as a positive.
They say if it has any colur then it
should be read as a poistive? Well mine
is a thin strong blue line. What does
make mine then......
Really anxious and I know a test is the
best way to confirm it but this has just
opened my eyes a little.

I guess the line would depend on the test.
Some have 1 line others have 2. Others
have - and others +. But if yours is
only suppose to have one line then yep
grats!!! I don't think color really
matters at that point. Most of mine were
pink... Then again heres a good question
does it turn blue if its a boy and pink if
its a girl hehe... Just some insight...
:lol:

Ha ha, yeh that will be something that
will be around in about 20 years or
something.. Sorry, I didn't make I
myself clear. It was a clear blue test
and after the ten minute mark it had a
second line. Like a minus for negative
and a plus for positive. So its a + sign
but the second line didn't come until
after 10 minutes. The line is blue and
not discoloured and its easy to see! Its
thinner than the other line that goin
across but that shouldn't make a
diffrence, right.
Although I did a fr test on thursday last
and it had a very faint faint second line.

Actually it does make a difference
sometimes my first test was like that my 2
came out clear as day 3 days later.
So more then likely you could be it just a
bit early for the test to work right the
hpt isn't very promanet yet... Give it a
few days and try again... If you still
can't tel get a different test and see
that way...

Faint Lines And Evaporation Lines

I had been wondering if I was pregnant or
not, I took 2+ tests and then 2 days later
4 - tests. I had read alot of situations
where someone got a - test and still was
preg. So after a week of reading
everyones posts I was really beginning to
wonder if I was pregnant or not. I
became a peestick junkie and took test
every day. They started to come up with a
faint positive right at or shortly after
the time limit so I was curious if it was
an evaporation line, although pink I
wasn't sure. I had my boyfriend take a
test too. We both took one aimstick pbd
and a new choice from dollar tree. My
positives came up right at the time limit
and very faintly, absolutely nothing came
up on his, however on the dollar tree one
hours later there was an evaporation line
which was blotchy and not pink but could
have mistaken for a positive if you aren't
sure, the aimstick pbd still 2 days later
does not have any sign of an evaporation
line. I have taken a test every day
since and they have come back positive
within 2 minutes so i'm pretty sure I am
pregnant! I would recommend the aimstick
pbd, easy to read and no evap line. I'd
say any line no matter how faint as long
as it is close to the time limit even
shortly after is a pregnant!!

Ok so the + test I got did have a faint
pink line. The next day it was -, then I
found out I hadn't even surged yet nor
ovualted. So my husband and I made love
the two days I was to be furtile and I
have waited to take any tests. I took the
+ test on 9-6 and got a - on 9-7, its now
the 19th and I got 2 - tests. So if there
is color it means + then what went wrong
with mine? Help please!! Oh and I have
been spotting and cramping slightly since
the 12th, 4 days past ovualtion. Today I
have alot of pinching in what feels like
my right ovary and I am edgy and b*%#hy!!
I feel like I am pmsing. My period is due
on the 22 or 23rd. Help!! :cry:

I'd wait until you miss your period to
even test... Your going to stress about
it when it may be too soon to test
anyways. My tests didn't show positive
until last week which was 2 weeks after my
missed period. Not sure why the one said
pos then neg but thats what mine did I
just kept testing and now they all are
pos. I had convinced myself after 2+ and
4- that I was not preg. But I am.
Either way i'd just wait until you miss a
period to test.

Omg I sound horrible!!!! I am planning on
waiting until this saturday to test again
if my period dosen't start. That would
make it 1-2 days late. I am by nature an
impatient person, so this whole waiting
thing is really hard!! But my god the
pinching I have today is painful!! Thank
you so much for you advise. I am glad I
have peeps I can vent to! 8)

After I had taken the tests that came back
neg. I just had a feeling I was actually
preg. So I just kept taking tests after
about 5 days, then they started coming
back pos. So I know the waiting is hard.
Patience is the hardest thing to have
when waiting to find out a life changing
situation. I would recommend using an
aimstick pbd they seem to be the best for
me as far as accurate and no confusion..
No evap lines. The dollar tree ones are
ok too but do have evap lines!!

Ya but its been over 10 days since my
false +. Sometimes I feel like I am
preggo but then I have to put myself into
check and realize its not going to be that
easy. My husband has a low count that
just started after his reversal in january
and we have only tried (since him getting
a count) for one month. When I remember
all that I know I just can't be. The odds
are to great agains me to be preggo after
only one month. I know it only takes one.
But the symptoms I have been having can
easily be odd pms due to stress. I need
to get over it for this month!! Lol

If its been 10 days i'd for sure take the
test... Did you say you already missed
your period?? Well my boyfriend and I
haven't been together long in fact only
about 2 months and he thought he couldn't
have kids at all since he tried with his
ex for about 8mths and nothing.. Well low
and behold here comes fertile mertile and
i'm preg after not even trying for a
couple weeks. Low count doesn't mean it
isn't possible the first month. Af was
due 9-5 took my first test on 9-8 + on
9-10 I took 4 more that were - very -...
Still felt preg but convinced myself that
4 test wouldn't lie... Finally on 9-16 I
took 2 more that were very very faint +
and didn't show until the max of 10 mins
one didn't even show till 12 mins so being
beyond the time limit I wasn't sure to
believe them but I do believe a pos is pos
no matter how faint. I took another the
next am same thing.. I had him take 2
diff tests on 9-17 also and the both came
back - completely neg and stayed.. The
one did show an evap line though...I'd
take a test every 2-3 days until your
period comes or a for sure + comes. Or
go to the doc. My + come up fast now and
darker... I am about 6 weeks - by this
time my hcg should be high so I was
initially worried that something was wrong
ie: ectopic since my lines were so faint
and took so long but they seem normal
now.. I don't have an apt until oct. 10.

I just don't know. I think I had a evap
line even though it was pink. Also I have
been searching the net and can't find any
implantaion bleeding lasting 8 days. I
just don't get it. I guess I have no
other option then to wait untill I miss my
cycle or get it. I wish I could just go
get an ultrasound or something. Lol. I
thank you so much for the info. If I
would of gotten more then one faint + I
would believe it but it has like I said
been over 10 days and I am still getting
big fat --. :(

Hi,
lisaboo I think we are both in the same
boat. I am afraid to take another test
to be let down. As I got 2 faint faint
positive about 2 weeks ago and then I took
a clear blue a week ago and that came up
faint but after the 10 minute mark, which
is blue and clear to the eye.
Kcmm3, do u still think there is a chance
that the clear blue was a evap line? The
fr was a faint line but disapeatred after
30 minutes. Some days I feel pregnant
and then others i'm like no. I know
another test is in order but its costly
and frustrating for these to be allowed to
get away with giving out bad results.
They must know for sure that alot of them
are innnacurate! So why would they
research them when all we do is purchase
them one after another for there
mistake!!!!!

Hi lisaboo,
how long have u been ttc hun. Well I
know exactly what ur'e saying about been
moody! I love goin on these boards and
getting info but sometimes I spend the
whole day looking for every possible
solution and it really puts me in bad mood
when I can't find it!
I was really depressed last week, like
numb from not knowing what is goin on.
So know I have taken a different approach
to life. It will happen when it happens.
I honestly thought that I would be 5
months pregnant at xmas, thinking oh this
will happen and all.
Keep my fingers crossed for u and
spreading some dust for u .....

Well we decided to do a vasectomy reversal
in january. That was january 14th. We
kept doing sperm counts for like the first
3 months after surgery and it kept coming
back "none seen" but we kinda kept trying
just in case there was that one ya know
:). So we quit testing for like 4 months
and just tested again on aug. 22nd and it
came back 11 million/ml which is low
concidering a normal is 50-60 million/ml.
So we tryed this month really hard and I
have had the longest, weirdest month since
I don't know when lol. But now my
spotting is on day 9 and the last 2 days
it has been more like a dark red and
(sorry for details) kinda pasty. Then it
goes away by about noon. I called my doc
yesterday and she said to wait it out and
see if its just a weird thing. I am
sooooo irritable today!! And tired.
Thats what makes me think af is coming.
This is how I get a few days before the
witch gets here.
Gf I wish you all the preggo dust in the
world!!

Hi lisaboo,
how are u? I know u are due to test
soon! Have u had any symproms lately.
Really curious to how u are getting on.
Well I was on my way to get a test last
nite and my bf got a call to say that his
nanny had passed away! God bless
her...... So I am still not too sure
what is happening with my body. We were
waiting along time in the hospiatl and
standing all night and my back was
absolutley aching!!!!
Last 2 days i've had dirrarhea and my bum
and back were aching that it was hard to
walk. I haven't been doing anything
difrent at all to make me ache like this.
Maybe its a gug or something or a
bean???

Hi rasperry,
oh thanx for the reply! She was lovely
person and I have been through this many
times but my bf just broke down. She
practally lived with them when he was
younger. Its just his father is away on
holidays and he's blaming himself for not
being there, so my bf feels for him.
Hopefully something will happen shortly.
Its only been a couple of weeks of ttc and
I really feel for those who have been
trying for years. We really don't think
about those that can't concieve. Its a
hard and emotional rollercoaster.
Fingers crossed. Goin to do a test
2nite.
