Those pesky evaps! (Solution?)

So, I've been taking a few tests a day for the past 3-4 days because I am obsessed (just cheap internet dip strips) and have been on a roller coaster of emotions. 'Is that a BFP? An evap? A neg? IS THERE A LINE OR NOT?!'.

I've taken other tests with a higher sensitivity and definitely BFN's. But at only 8 dpo I'm still feeling optimistic :)

Anyhow, I have been searching high and low on the internet about evaps and indents and antibody lines and dye runs etc etc etc. I found this interesting topic on a forum about how to 'rinse' tests and get rid of any evaps and leave only the positive result (if there is one).

Here is the link:

So, I tried this myself and yes, some of the tests that I thought might be a positive washed away! Pristine white! (However, one or two still have a faint pink line!)

Give it a go! :)
