Talk to me about Evap lines...freaking out! Pip

emmyloustu · January 2012

Yeah, um, I'm seeing 2 lines on an equate hpt...

BUT it dried like an hour ago.

When I poas, I was pretty sure it was negative, but meant to come back and check it in a few, but forgot. Just wandered in to the bathroom and there are 2 lines staring back...

The control line is super dark, the second line is faint & off center, but there.

Please tell me these are famous for Evaps.

Backstory - we had sex exactly once almost 3wks ago unprotected. I am EBF, but was planning on using some type of barrier, but it was on a whim. I took a test only to rule out the possibility....

I am freaking the eff out...that could not even be possible. Crappy I pad pic....

Nope!

Ok anyone know how to pip from iPad?

browneyedgrl4282 · January 2012

No but if you want you can email it to me and I post it for you, if you can't figure it out!

GypsyEsq · January 2012

Sh!t emmylou - I can't see the photo. I don't think you can post from an iPad, you have to use tiny pic or something.

poas.com says equate is good for not having false positives/evap lines https://www.peeonastick.com/hpt/+.html

On my iphone, I upload to the photobucket ap and then paste. I think that would work from an iPhone?

You are supposed to void if you read the line after the window. I have seen evaps from sticks I have thrown away upon digging it out again. No need to freak out. Test again.

such crappy pics...way too small! argh!

epphd · January 2012

Is the test a blue or pink test? And is the positive line the same color or greyish? Hoooboy.

Fancy3Face · January 2012

Is is blue dye? I've heard those are much more prone to "false" pos.

winstonc22 · January 2012

I had a false positive on one of those a little while ago. Go buy a FRER and try again - good luck!

Well it is the blue dye tests that are typically considered not as good. However, if the test line is actually blue and not grey then it's not an evap. It could still be a false positive based on dye bleed though. I think you have to take another and read within the test time frame.

lolalillie · January 2012

How soon can you get a FRER? I have had false positives on EPT, which is similar to the Equate blue dye ones. Good luck

epphd · January 2012

Em, my first test when I was pg with Sam was a blue line test. I wondered if it was an evap too, but it was real...

This is what it looked like when it dried:

charmcitygirl · January 2012

I think it's time to go out and get a FRER or a digital. And report back immediately. I mean like immediately.

emmyloustu · January 2012

Ok so I used the second crappy test in the pack, read it in the window & it is white, bfn. Thank god! I'll be interested to see if I get an Evap on this one. I'll probably buy a frer tomorrow for peace of mind. Phew!!!

Note to self, buy some condoms!

Let us know if a line shows up on that one. And, holy crap, buy a FRER as soon as you can... Wowza.

Mouseygail · January 2012

Well, that was exciting! Eek!

nikinikinine · January 2012

now we're all freaking out for you! LOL. UPLOAD THAT PIC!

GenRN45 · January 2012

hoping the FRER stays BFN sweetie!!

Cassian · January 2012

Those equate tests are notorious for the evap lines. I had one awhile ago and did a lot of googling. Google says that if it is an evap line, it will be very thin. A true positive will be the same dye strength the span of the whole line, if that makes sense.

Let us know!!!

Holy hannah!

Totally makes sense. This was super thin - just a sliver of a line,
