Positive or evap line?

What does this look like to everyone else? Bottom on is yesterday afternoon and the top on is this morning…

Period is 3 days late and no signs of it coming yet

Hi everyone so yesterday I had a dye test that was positive and a clear blue digital that was negative so I left it until this mornings wee ans now I have a dye test that’s negative and a digital clear blue that says this? Thoughts?

First time having late period but negative PT 🥺🥹

This is my first time being delayed for like 4 days. My LMP was sept 1 and i was supposed to have my period on 26-27. I think this is an evap line because after 5 mins there was only 1 line then after an hour, it had a very faint line.

Let me know your thought guys 🥹

So sad another month another negative

Period due tomorrow or Saturday, used 6 day early test as going away Saturday. 12dpo

Thoughts

Hi all I got this test which looks positive to me then went to shop picked up a clear blue came home and squeezed another wee out on a digital test that come back negative? And now since that test everyone’s being negative Anyone had this and still being pregnant?

Thoughts

Losing my mind

Today I am 7dpo, we've been trying all year with 1 early loss and this week I've just been certain I'd conceived, did a random test this morning with the thought "well if today is negative I'll definitely get a positive soon" but I am convinced there's the faintest little shadow on this damn test! It's so hard to see both in person and on camera but if I zoom in and tilt my phone I can almost see what it looks like in real life. My sensible brain is telling me that 7dpo is borderline impossible for a positive but I've had horrible cramps for 2 days, my shy cat won't leave me alone, and I've got a cold which is all stuff we noticed with my last pregnancy before the positive test 😂 I'm quite certain of my ovulation as I only get 1 day of obvious fertile mucus, so at most I could be 8dpo if not 7. I've got some more sensitive tests so I'm currently holding my pee but I'll attach the photo of what I saw this morning, please try and see the shadow! Also to add I would never usually take a test this early, I just had a feeling!

?? Line eyes… vvv fl?

In some lights I feel I can see a v v faint line. In other lights, it looks completely negative.

Period missing ?

I’ve had about 4 periods since having my daughter she is now 7 months old but my period has jsut disappeared these last few months my last 4 after having her were irregular either early or late but it’s not like me to miss two periods,I’m not pregnant I’ve got a blood test on Thursday because my gp is concerned
but any advice or help of why would be nice !

Evap line?

Is this an evap line? It has colour in person..I always thought evap lines didn’t but I know these blue dye tests are awful for them!🤦‍♀️

10DPO negative again!

Period due Saturday, anyone got any miracle stories that this could change 🥲

Not sure whether this is positive

11dpo

Chemical and then pregnant

Hey, so I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle. I started bleeding or my ‘period’ for over a week on 31st August after the positive tests a few days prior.

This month I haven’t done any ovulation tests we just went with the flow. I’ve now had a positive pregnancy test!

They are much darker than last time. I’m just wondering is it possible to get pregnant and have positive tests this soon after??

I’m really worried after what happened last month and I just don’t wanna get my hopes up to then end up with another loss or not pregnant😢

What is it

Me and my hubby aren’t agreeing is it positive or negative

No way?

Ladies, did I finally get my positive after a year of trying?! 😭😭😭
