Hey sweety! I've used tons of the cheapy ones and i get evap lines and dye bleeds like allll the time, its like everytime ya use one the result is confusing and just tugs at the ol' heart strings. I've been getting so frustrated with them giving me false hope that it's a positive that now I'm going to just use the first response, that's what I would suggest. Baby dust ur way!!

4 tests taken all at once or over a period of time? If the latter, it's likely those aren't actually positives. You will often see a second line on a test because the hcg antibody strip is there and looks slightly different from the background. And if a sensitive test is actually positive you'll see it getting darker pretty quickly (mine got noticeably darker every few hours after I got a faint positive). Good rules of thumb for reading a test, especially the super-sensitive ones: only look within time limit stated by the test, hold it at the same distance you would when reading a book, and look at it under normal light. If you see a line that definitely has color under those conditions, it's a positive. If not, it's not ( I wish I had known these rules when I started ttc, would have saved some heartache!).
On the other hand if it was 4 all at once, it could just be super-early - give it a day and test again. GL!
