I'm Currently Feeling:  | Evap line or very faint positive?
So, I tested early like everyone knows and I used one of those digital testers. Well it came up as negative. Then I was reading on here about how you can take them apart and see if there is a faint line on them (which I didn't know you could do!). So I took mine apart today and there is a very very faint line on there (even OH saw it) but I'm wondering if its an evap line since it has been sitting there since last night? I really have no clue how evap lines work and why they even appear but yeh. I would retest with a non digital tester but OH made me promise to wait...
Can someone explain evap lines to me? Thanks.
BTW, can't post picture because my digital camera just makes it a big blur. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hunny, your not supposed to take the digital test's apart. They will always have lines.. Check it out.. http://www.peeonastick.com/hpt/digitalsecret.html.
They tell you not to take em apart for this reason..
I do it too but I don't really bother on asking about the lines because I know the rules..
Try testing with a diffrant brand you still have 4 days. And, not only that everyone is diffrent on how there HCG is before there period (digital tests dont have a sensitive reading)..
So it can still be too early good luck hun.. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Not only that....If you read the strip past the time limit, it most likely is an evap... Wait a few days and test again if no AF....  |

I'm Currently Feeling: |  , Don't worry it is too early still. I never got a BFP till AF was late..
Like I said don't take the digitals apart if it says not pregnant than its not picking up your hormone yet..
Test with like FRER or Equate or something... |

| digital tests don't just test for HCG thy test for another hormone too, so if you take the test strip out if it's neg, it's posible that there'll be 2 lines....but it's still not positive |

So you will always have two lines not matter what on those suckers thats why you never look at those.. AKA, as I said read that artical..
Or, test with another brand..
Still too early.. I hope you get BFP. do you have any symptoms yet hun? |
