How soon after a negative test do you think an evaporation line would appear on a quick start test? The same tests m/w and doctors have?
I do know dont read anything after 5 mins...but just wanted your thoughts on this :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have read the instructions and it says to read at 5 mins and discard any results after that. The negative came through pale for the first couple mins. Then I didn't look at it again until 5 - 10 mins...but definately with 10 minutes. These pic were taken just now,,,maybe 1.5-2hrs since I did it, but they have remained the same...colour hasn't darkened or anything..
What do you think? I have also had the odd spotting...so hopeing its implantation! Edited to add....actually, maybe it has got a little darker ... just a tad if i look closely! And, sorry the pics are so big! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

That's definitely not an evap! And Quickcard's aren't known for evaps either.

De ja vu! That was exactly the test I used, so you can probably see how I stuffed up the instructions. I got one BFP within 2 min but the others (yes there were multiple tests done in 24 hours ) gave BFP around 6-7 min and the Docs one gave BFN!
I'd say YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!!!! but very very early. If you can hold off, give it a day or two and try again. CONGRATS!!! Ps..pic looks EXACTLY like mine |

Have you re-tested yet Nefertiti? 
I know when I re-tested the next morning with FMU I was up at 5:35am with three tests
**ETA: These were all of differing brands, too. I'm so glad I'm not the only one, too. This place makes me feel like less of a nut-job -------------

I tested with fmu and it was a negative!  A very clear negative, even at 10 minutes!
Maybe I should try 2nd pee of day like some have said,,,or am I grasping at straws?
I feel really stupid now after posting the pic yesterday ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Maybe try another test just in case that one was a dud.

How strange. That test you posted yesterday was a clear BFP!
I've heard of false negatives, but never false positives. *fingers crossed* eta: 2MU might be a good idea

I know exactly what you are going through. Hang in there. Remember if you are PG you still will be in a few more days so nothing will change if you dont test till after easter. (yeah right! As if anyone can wait )

Thats definitely a BFP - mine was even fainter than that when I first tested with Bella (took about 7-10 minutes to see the line) and when I went to the dr it was negative, but the blood test was positive ...turns out I was only 4 weeks preggers. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well i think its all over for me. I had had some odd spotting and after testing this morning it has gone to a brighter red and more consistency. Although still not enough for a pad etc.
But I'm not holding out any hope, even after yesterday 'positive' test. Thanks for all the great support ladies. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi BellaBabysMum. I'm doing ok. But af is definately here now. So I have no idea what caused that test to show positive the other day. Perhaps I am unlucky enough to get a rare false positive. But now I am analysising everything when I go to the loo, IYKWIM. I guess thats natural after a recent mc.
Thanks for thinking of me. Unfortunately DP just doesn't understand how I really feel. He just gives me a hug and says we can try again. I really really feel for the ladies who try for many months, even years. I just don't think I could do that. Haven't told DP, but if I conceive and go to term this cycle, I'll be due boxing day lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey Neferiti - *hugs* that AF arrived. I missed this thread completely until now, but I had EXACTLY the same result (with same HPT) as you on Christmas day last year and thought I could've been pregnant (search for evaportation line thread by me) but like you, on further tests BFN. Then AF showed up on the 28th. I was told that these tests were pretty good at not having false positives, so it remains a mystery! I still have the test too! The good thing for me (and hopefully you if you follow my trend! is that the next month I fell pregnant!! Hoping that you'll be a December 08 mum! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

Oh I'm so sorry Neferiti, that sucks.
I don't mean to make things worse, but is there any possibility is was a http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/chemical-pregnancy.html - chemical pregnancy? I only mention it because if it was, there are things that can be done in further pregnancies to help baby stick. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

Thanks emachan, i do hope i follow your trend!
It is a possibility JadeC. I wonder how I'd know for sure. But my af as arrived and its been quite thick and mucousy, similar to mc i had, so thats what is making me wonder. a normal af for me is light with no mucous stuff whatsoever. But i think i'll talk about this with my doctor. The link you gave me mentioned baby asprin,,is this why most women take that? I have read on thread with women saying they take it. And thankyou for the continued support BellaBabysMum, it means alot to me being about to come on here and talk about things. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm not sure about the baby asprin to be honest, I know it can be used to thin the blood for things like long-haul flights, but I'm not sure how that would help. ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/" rel="nofollow">

hey also Neferiti - my AF that I had that cycle was the heaviest I had since my m/c, so hoping that even though its sad you're not pg this cycle, hopefully its like a big clearout for next!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

Thanks emachan. Funny though because the bleeding I had has just about gone
But I guess it has probably been the 'heaviest' one I think since dec. Had a bit of tissue appearance so thats what made me wonder if it had been another mc. Anyway...hopefully this month aye. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
