Question About Tests

Can you get a positive test during your period? I took a test today and there is a line. Mind you this test is past the time frame. Yet there is a second line and it has color in it. If it was negative shouldn't it dry negative and not with another line. Are these dollar tests faulty? Or do they all show up like this after the time frame? If anyone knows please let me know. Im so confused about these tests right now. Like I said I know they are past the time frame Im just curious. Thank you in advance for the advice.

Should I still be getting negative test at 10DPO?

Positive, negative, evap?

I’ve had a couple of tests look like this so I do think evap. Yes I will test again in a couple of days as I’m thinking I’m only 8dpo today. I’ll pop yesterday’s tests in the comments.

Positive or negative

Took with morning pee - swear I can see a faint line but might have line eyes.

Can you see?

This mornings test - period is due today though so shouldn't be darker if it was positive?

Evap line or early positive?

So, I did a test with my second wee of the morning at 11:30am and i saw two lines within the time frame, although the test line was faint (i thought this was bc Im only testing one day after a missed period).

So then i did two more tests, one digital and one line test at 3:30pm ish and they were both negative.

I’m not sure if the first one was an evap or if it’s positive but the other two were negative bc i’m really early?

I know it makes it invalid. But i opened a clear blue after two faint positive tests.

In the past week I’ve had two faint positive tests and a clear blue digital which for some reason didn’t turn on. Super annoying because they’re EXPENSIVE where I live ://. So I opened it just to have a look. These were my lines in the clear blue test it was a week indicator one which is why there is three. It reminds me of the one I took when I was pregnant with my first. I’ll add photos in the comments of my faint positive tests aswell as my previous clear blue results from two years ago.

I’ve had two faint positives recently. I’ll put those in the comments.

I took a digital clear blue. But had three lines. Anyone knows if this is neg or positive? I’ll post my others in the comments. They were dip ones

I thought for sure I was out this month, but I swear there is a pink line? 🤞🏼😭 All my other tests up until now have been stark negative so I don’t think this an evap. Any thoughts? Is this too faint?
