Coloured evap line?

Hi ladies I just wanted some reassurance on this evap line?

I took the test and was negative after 4 minutes, I saw it an hour later and it looks like this.

It’s just an evaporation line though isn’t it? I’ve got myself worried as I didn’t think evaporation lines had colour but it’s not possible to get a positive after the 5 minutes is it xx

I got a coloured evap on a clearblue, thought I missed ovulation and got pregnant- no other test showed a line and then I ovulated 3 days later, it happens x

thank you! I just haven’t know an evap line have so much colour so it panicked me haha xx

They're shocking I hate them! Never using clearblue again 😂 we've all been there though ☺️

these clear blue tests are know for coloured evaps if looked at outside of the testing window.

OP, if it was negative in the timeframe then it's negative. Test again tomorrow if you like

The line is also extremely thin if you look carefully so I don’t think it’s a genuine positive,don’t worry!

I've gotten multiple colored evap lines on these blue dye tests that looked very much like positives. If you use these, they basically have to be thrown away immediately because they get blue evap lines at least half the time

Thanks ladies! This was with my first morning wee, I’ve since taken a pink dye which is 100% negative, but wasn’t my first morning wee! But I don’t think I am: I will do a pink dye in the morning with my first wee just to 100% rule it out xx

just because you haven't doesn't mean it doesn't happen...this board is full of dodgy clear blue tests. I see you're pretty new to peanut, but these tests are well known to be bad for evaps

Thanks ladies! I’ve taken a pink dye and it’s negative and I sent a pic to clear blue fb page and they said to disregard it if it’s after 10 minutes but to also test again in 4 days xx

yes. Even when stored and taken correctly. They're very common for evaps when looked at outside of the timeframe, like in this post.

They're not chemicals, as you can test with another brand on the same day and have a negative.

Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
