How common IS it to get an evap on a Clearblue Easy Plus HPT??
I am on my 4th cycle TTC after having DS In September; taking 50 mg of Clomid. I O'd on Easter, April 20th. I've got a good feeling about this month! I've been testing since 7 dpo, and quite frankly I'm SICK of staring at ICs and their "maybe" lines. I decided to get a Clearblue Easy Plus test, along with some Walmart cheapies. I used FMU with both this morning (collected it at 6:30 but didn't get to test til almost 8:00 because my son was being difficult.) The cheapie was stark white, and I was under the assumption that the CB + was too. I checked a couple hours later and there's a definite faint line. I know the rule about reading them past the time, but I just wanted to know how common ARE evaps with the CB+ test? With DS I got a very strong bfp on 10 dpo with a FRER, but I know each pregnancy is different.

If it was a pink dye test, I would say you could MAYBE trust it, cuz that can happen and you be pregnant. Sometimes the line appears only a few minutes after the "discard" time but you don't know it til hours later. With blue dye tests, I wouldnt trust it because I remember doing A LOT of research a few months back when I first got pregnant and those get sooo many evaps and they have color to them that they are technically considered false positives. And it happens quite a bit. If I were you, disregard that test, and dont ever buy any kind of blue test again lol stick to pink/purple dye tests. MUCH more reliable. When you take it, since you're still early on, wait 15 minutes instead of 10 mins for a line to appear. If it doesnt then its a definite negative and test again in a few days if AF doesnt show. I only say wait 15 mins cuz again research and when I was testing, when it was still early, it took about 13 mins for my lines to appear for a few days cuz there was barely en

Thanks! I tested this afternoon with a FRER but got a blazing bfn; it was expected since I was using diluted afternoon pee. I know it's early on so it's not a cause for concern yet, but it's hard not to get discouraged! Gonna try to hold off and only test tomorrow morning 1st thing, and then again on 11 dpo.
