    Evaporation lines from Crystal Clear pregnancy test

    Hi all,

    Just another quick question..
    Has anyone had evaporation lines before the 10 minute time frame is up on a crystal clear pregnancy test?
    I did a test this morning with FMU and instantly after the control line came up another line that was white/clear in colour came up right where the positive line should be.
    There seems to be the slighest colouring behind it, but I wouldnt say its the blue colour its supposed to be. Its more of a shadow line behind the clear white line.
    I know this sounds confusing, and I will test again in the next day or so, but has anyone had this before and has had a positive result from it, or have they been all negative?
    I rang the Crystal Clear hotline and the woman I spoke to said that evaporation lines if they appear only appear when the whole test has dried properly which takes a couple of hours, and that crystal clear tests were not known to have evaporation lines.
    Ugh see my confusion? I so badly want a positive yet expect a negative, but if they dont have evap lines and its not the colour of a positive line, then what kind of line is it?
    LOL

    Sorry, I don't know much about the crystal clear ones but if you do a search in google for pee on a stick dot com (or just type in that address), there is a whole website on HPTs with pictures. It also talks about individual tests. I found it quite interesting a good way to pass the time and further add to my obsession (but it's nice to know other people are obsessing too )

    I really hope it is a BFP for you! Good luck

    Hi leelee,

    Sounds like an evap line. I've had them before with Crystal Clear.

    A positive will have a definate blue tinge to it.

    Try again in a few days time, and if AF still hasn't arrived and you're not getting that BFP, get a blood test done. They're the only way to know for sure (other than seeing that little bub on an u/s) if you are utd.

    I hope you get your BFP though!

    Hi Leelee

    Just wondering how you went with your results? I had a very similar experience here this morning with the same brand. It was so faint but i could see something, it doesn't have me convinced but then again i'm about 5 days past af being due. I'm going to get another test so i can test with my first wee in the morning.

    I hope you get the result you're wanting

    Hi Leelee,
    Yes I have had those very faint, almost grey silvery lines with that brand. Spent ages checking/rechecking it, was very confusing. (negative)
    Im not using that brand again, my nerves cant take it TBH
