    Perhaps try again tomorrow morning with a digital pregnancy kit with first morning urine?

    On the instructions it does say disregard them after a length of time (1 or 3 mins?) so maybe not?

    Someone else with better knowledge will be along soon l expect.

    Hope you get the result you want.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    hi
    it may be an evaporation line...
    7. What's an evaporation line? Evaporation ("evap") lines result with the test's antibody strip just looks slightly different than the space around it. There is a line of antibodies (usually made from mouse cells) in the Control and Test section. The Control line binds with any liquid and turns pink (or blue, in tests using blue dye.) The Test/Result line turns pink only if pregnancy hormone is detected. If not, the moisture passes over this strip and does not turn pink. It may, however, become more visible when the light hits the moisture on the strip-- it may appear gray, colorless, like a "dent" in the test, or like a "ghost line." It may appear at any time-- as soon as the urine hits it, after a few minutes as the test absorbs the moisture, or after the 10-minute time limit. It may appear when the test is drying, or after it has dried. It may disappear as the test is drying, or after the test has dried, or not disappear at all.
    The simple fact is that there is always "something there" that is slightly visible-- it's simply the antibodies on the test that would turn pink in the presence of hCG. When the test becomes wet, or as it dries, or after it dries, the antibody strip may become more visible. Therefore, all tests may have them. It is not a defect; it's just how tests are made.
    A real positive is identified by its color (pink or blue, whatever the color of the test's dye is) and its appearance within 10 minutes of urinating on the stick. A line that appears after 10 minutes, regardless of color, must be considered an evap line and is caused by the test's chemicals changing. HPT's are rapid assay diagnostics, which means any results appearing after the "rapid" time limit of 10 minutes are invalid.

    but that doesn't mean you're not pregnant, just that you can't rely on that test result. good luck :)

    Sorry to be blunt but we really can't tell you. If you're pregnant then you're pregnant and unfortunately not looking at a test is not going to change that. You need to take a test and see what it says.

    If you're not due for another 6 days I'd be very surprised if a test shows positive x

    It is best to test first thing in the morning. Look at the result after the suggested time on the packaging. Good luck, I hope you get the result you so want. I remember going through the exact same things you are, a few years back now. Fingers crossed for you OP.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    You seem to be getting a bit obsessed about the whole thing. You say you are not trying to fall pregnant purposely, but you came yesterday asking what your chances were, and today, you tested even though your period is not due for another 6 days...and it is your first month.

    My advice would be to chill out. If you start like this the first month, how will you be in 6 months, or 12 if this is how long it takes. Take it easy, test in 6 days if your period hasn't showed and give it time.

    Why not just wait till your period is late and then test again?

    It's not rocket science.
