Question

Evap or BFP??

I'm currently CD27, yesterday DPO10 I took a cheap internet dip strip and after time limit (i forgot about it as kids jumped in bed) there is a clear to see second pink line though slightly fuzzy.

Today did the same with another internet cheapie and got a stark white BFN.

So evap or bfp but low HCG levels?

After extensive internet searching I found this information:

An evap can only ever be colourless or slightly grey. HCG is needed to react with the strip and turn it pink.

As the pee soaks up along the test it CAN take up to an hour (sometimes never drying if test has a cap) for it to reach the other end of the stick. In this time it is possible for very low levels of HCG to stick and eventually build up and turn the test pink.

So anyone had similar happen and go on to have a BFP?? Or is it more likely chemical?

Thanks for the response on my question! I think that it's a good sign! My FRER this morning is very faint, but I definitely see something (cd23 for me, not sure on DPO). I hope others with similar experiences respond!

Can you get a FRER?

I'm going to wait to buy a FRER until Saturday so I'm not tempted to use it until Sunday!
