Do osom tests get evaps?
So I bought some Osoms and I'm 7 dpo. I decided to test this morning just for fun I guess.... I thought I saw something super duper faint. Like a vvvvvvvfl but I thought I was just being desperate. I go back later and saw there was in fact a line there. I just dont trust myself. I heard osoms are known for not having evaps and being super sensitive. Here is the test. Idk if you can see it on camera but in person there definitely is a super faint line.

I've used hundreds of the urine and combo tests over the last 6yrs and have never once had even a hint of a line that wasn't supposed to be there. These tests are ridiculously sensitive, so they can pick up base levels and failed implants that frer would miss. Most will chalk that up to being an evap. In the very early days, the test needs to pretty much dry before u can see the line. As days pass, the line shows when wet, then darkens as it dries. U'll have to keep testing to see if u have ur BFP. U should see a difference each day for the first bit.
Good luck! =))

I hear ya!
Another good way to tell if ur just seeing things is to shine a bright light behind the cassette, the line will be even more apparent. And if u fill the dropper to the line then let one or two drops out from there, before using on the test, u'll have less dye running back during development. Tear the pads off after about 20mins and it'll dry faster too (for us impatient testers). This is how I do it anyways Lol!

Ugh how frustrating! I'm frustrated for u!! Have u tried the light behind the tests? U may have had a crappy test, hard to say becuz they don't all measure the exact same levels. A cpl yrs ago I used a wondfo (maybe it was easy@home, can't remember) and it came up negative. I had been testing positive for a few days at this point. My heart sank becuz I thought I lost the pregnancy. I tried another test, same batch and same urine, BFP! I have a pic posted somewhere. It really can go either way at this point. Some of those tests may not measure levels that low, or some may measure too low. U'll know more in the next cpl days...probably the world's longest days too!

It's hard to tell in the pic, it blurs when I stretch it. The second one looks more like a line than a run. The dye usually runs from the control end closer to the control line. Have u tried another? It's still early so make sure u have a good hold time and minimal fluids. Try leaving the pads on for 30 mins, see if that helps a bit.
