evaporation line or pregnant? ahhhh!

Hi!  I'm a lurker on here since I just recently moved from NYC with my husband's job.  I'm nervously excited - but am NOT getting my hopes up b/c I took a $1 store pregnancy test and I couldn't see a line at first, but then I checked it 30 minutes later and there's a faint line.  I read a bunch of stuff online both ways, and I realize the box says it could be an evaporation line after 10 minutes, but just wondering if anyone else had this experience and they were indeed pregnant?

I also took the test in the afternoon and I'm 3 days before AF is due to arrive.  I'm sure my best bet is to wait it out until post missed period, but I'm just anxious!  Thanks for any tips.

    You should see your result in 3 minutes.  Anything over 10 minutes is likely not accurate.  I would go get a digital test and that will give you a difinitive answer.  If it is negative and no period within a few days take another test.  Good luck!

    Welcome!

    I've noticed that the $1 store test are more acurate if you use first morning urine, or wait until after your missed period.

    I'd test again in the morning or wait a few days and test again. you could always get a digital, or the + - kind that it's easier to see a line. Good Luck!

    I would say retest like the pps said. I ued the dollar store one as well but it was 2 days after AF didnt show up. The dollar store one worked well though. I also used first response and the digital one. I think the digital ones are so fun to actually read Pregnant!
