Faint + or evap line????

My phone broke yesterday, so I can't post pictures, but I am confused by my hpt results today. I have 15 days post O and still no AF, so I took a test. It said not to check before 3min or after 10min. I checked it at 3 min and there was a hint of a line, but not really....by 6 min there was a faint pink line (not grey or yellowish like some evap lines I've seen before). I assumed that was a positive even though it was VERY faint. What confused me is after the test dried completely the line looked brownish, not pink anymore. The control line was still a purple color, but not as bright...still very dark though. So, what do you think??? Faint positive, or evap line???

    Hard to say without seeing a pic- usually a line within the correct time frame is a line. I would test in the AM with another pink dye test. GL

    I'm not sure what else we can tell you outside of what the instructions say...
    This. Oh and if it's a BFP please don't bother coming back to flaunt it. We don't know you.

    We're all TTC and are very supportive to the active members of the community, so I'm sure you can understand we aren't very excited for strangers who come in posting BFPs. Not saying you are, I'm just warning you that posting a BFP as a total stranger in an environment of women trying to get pregnant won't go over well for you. If this isn't your cycle, then please intro and stick around and be active so we can get to know you and when your time comes we will be more than supportive. It's really the same way it works IRL. Good luck to you
    Word. Without seeing the test, there's not much we can tell you, and I second everything Janda said.

    Honestly, it didn't occur to me that my post would be offensive. I had a question that I was hoping to get some feedback on from people who know a lot about pregnancy tests. Didn't mean to upset anyone. GL to you all.

    Unfortunately I don't know a lot about positive pregnancy tests, I'm still not pregnant. Thanks, though, for rubbing that fact in our faces here on a TRYING to get pregnant board.

    I've always heard a line is a line! Give it a day or two and test again to see if its darker. Hopefully it will be :-)

    I got the same "warm" welcome! Apparently we are supposed to become best friends with everyone before we post a question about BFP.. Oh and when you get one you should also apparently post on the 1st tri board... I'm learning all these rules too... But to answer your question.. If you saw pink it is probably positive! Try again in the am! Good luck!! :)

    They say the "rules" got lost with the site update.
    Well since so many of these "veterans" have so much time on their hands how about they should write up a quick "Rules for Newbies" and post that for us.

    Good ol Google searching!

    1. Zero Tolerance for Bullies (aka- how to get banned)

    We know you are all adults, and no, we're not going to ban you for using profanity, sarcasm or sharing your opinion in conversation. However, we are going to ban you if you're malicious towards another user.

    Malicious, petty and/or personal attacks of any kind are unacceptable, so please be mindful of the way you address and discuss others.

    Personal attacks include, but are not limited to: starting a thread with a user's name as the topic/title to "bash" them, linking to a thread to call out a user on their post, thoughts or beliefs (not a topic), calling a username out maliciously, starting a malicious or derogatory poll/question about a user, using images (memes, gifs, etc.) in a direct attack/vicious manner, etc.

    The Bump encourages you to share your opinions while respecting others' thoughts and feelings as well. Feel free to share, but be ready to hear and accept other opinions that you may not always agree with. Because you do not agree with someone, does not mean this is the place to attack anyone else's beliefs.

    "Trolling" The Bump boards by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking members/disrupting normal discussion is not permitted and will lead to warning/banning from the boards.

    Cyber bullying is not just a "teen thing" - it is very real for every age group and will not be tolerated.

    If for any reason you are suspected of bullying, there will be consequences that may eventually, if not automatically, lead to banning from the community.

    That was cute, but a link or quote of a direct violation would have more of an effect.

    And I repeat, if you think we're bullies WHY do you post here?

    *slow clap* Wow, you've shown us. I especially like the part about being ready to hear and accept opinions that you may not always agree with. Voicing opinions does not by default equal bullying. Try again.

    Huh, cause it seems to me that you spend more time bitching about the dynamics of this board than you do "supporting." And you only "support" those who post ridiculous things.

    And aren't you a peach. If you want though, feel free to help yourself to the knowledge that letting someone know its rude to post a driveby BFP here =/= bullying.

    I'm new, so my opinion may not count for much, but I really think some people need to get a little thicker skin. Hi, I was told to "choke on a dick" today in response to a post. Amazingly, I didn't cry in a corner over it. I actually laughed because the gif was actually pretty funny.

    Look, every community is different. You have to lurk and feel it out and see what people are like. Also, just like a non-virtual community, there is etiquette. Sure, I probably wouldn't tell someone to choke on a dick in public, I also wouldn't run up to random strangers shouting about my pregnancy. Pregnancy and fertility are deeply personal and emotional which is why it seems unseemly to shout about it without first introducing yourself...it seems the women here have struggled, some for a long time, and have supported and grown with each other. You have to respect that. Or, find another community more in line with your feelings and beliefs.

    The internet's a big place.

    And by the time people are done lurking they could be 1/2 way through a pregnancy. People join and post where they are in their lives. Saying your pregnant is not bullying. And it's also not throwing it in anyone's face. There are boards for Trouble TTC. Because it happens easily for some and never at all for others is a fact of life. Hate a stranger for being just as strong as you and not taking it from others or love my approach, whatever. That's what y'all ask of us newbs.

    Do you know the definition of ignorant or are you just going off the negative version of the term?

    You are 100% being ignorant. That's not an insult that's the truth. You're *ignoring* every good point on here and choosing whatever fits your argument to address.

    I don't see how pointing out someone's ignorance is bashing, derogatory, or against the rules.

    Because I'm disagreeing with her. And that's bullying all of the sudden. Sigh.

    I truly don't understand why people who are so unhappy continue to post here.... If they really are here to "support" then I feel like they wouldn't comment on every single thing they disagree with and stick around for arguments.

    Last I checked this is the Trying to Get Pregnant board not Trouble TTC. I think it was an honest question from someone who has obviously not had experience with PG tests.
