Faint line or evap line?

I took a pregnancy test yesterday and saw nothing. Today I took a test with a 2hour hold, I thought I saw a very very faint line within 2 minutes but I had to turn it in the light a certain way to see. I set it aside to show my husband when he got home. Now 3 hours later I went back to look at it and there is a line there. It looks super faint pink, or white/ but darker than the surrounding white. My question is can an evaporation line show up within 2 minutes and get slightly darker or is it just a super faint positive. I'm only 7 dpo just couldnt wait to take it

I had this same question three days ago except mine didn't turn so I threw it away. Later just because I'm crazy I dug it out of the trash and there was the smallest faintest line imaginable so light my hubby laughed at me for even considering it a line (he is a little skeptical since we have been trying almost 4 years) anyway I took another one except I watched it this time it didn't turn till 20 or so mins so I figured just bad test evap lines. I went out on a limb and took another early the next morning this one turned at about 8 mins followed by two more tests yesterday each one turning faster and faster until this morning I bought the fancy pants test that was positive in less than 30 seconds !!!!!! I guess 6 tests can't be wrong. Good luck girl just keep testing sounds good

Hey, me too, me too! I've just started a thread or whatever it's called topic, etc.. Anyway I have now done two tests with the same results but 4 days apart. Thread thin blue line to mark the + how did you get on? Anymore results? I spoke with a midwife (in the uk) she said " what on earth is a evap line." To my explanation she replied with "on our tests in a clinical environment if a line appears, it appears and congrats you're pregnant" she went on to say for me to re test the day I'm due with one of these digital jobbies, if I don't trust the blue due tests. I would like to add this is the first time I have ever had a positive/evap line (or whatever it is) since I've been using these dye tests. Ummmm confused! Good luck
