I took a HPT this morning (the dollar store kind - Baby Test). When I checked it at 2 minutes and then at least 10 minutes after testing, it was negative. I had left it on the counter and just went to throw it away, and now there is a colored line there (not a white evaporation line). I just peed, so I doubt if I took another test right now it would be right. I'll have to wait until the morning to get morning urine. What do you think?
I would just re test. If a test sits to long it CAN change! I got a false positive that way once. I say do it again in the am.
I got a positive that way. I took a test in the morning and checked it right away and it was negative..well I finished getting ready and forgot to check it again (within the 10 minutes) and when I got home about 3 hours later it was positive..not an evap. line..like a real positive. So I tested again the next morning and watched it carefully. And it took 5 minutes to get a positive not the 3 the directions said. So I waited and tested a few days later and got a positive right away.
Hmm, then it could go either way! I can't wait until the morning to re-test! Anyone else have a story about this to share?
I got an accurate BFP that way! I had test strips from early-pregnancy-tests.com. I took one right away in the morning and waited the full 10 minutes it said, and it was still negative. I went back and looked at it about 1/2 hour later and it had turned positive...So I waited a few more hours and took my last one, same thing. I had DH stop after work and get a couple of First Response Early Results, I took one and it turned positive right away. And I've since had it confirmed with my dr.

LOL well maybe im the only unlucky one hahaha
Any more stories? Right now it's 2 to 1! I'm on edge! I'm on day 32 of my cycle with no period. I've only had one period since I had my 13 month old, which was now 32 days ago. My cycle used to vary between 28 and 30 days.

Mine was the same way but I checked the next morning and when I saw the line I re-tested and got a +.
dollar store test are known for Evap lines because they dry alot quicker.
i would test again and only go by the "time" that they give you
Update: I took 2 EPT's this morning and both are positives! The line is light, but there!
