Faint + or evap line????

amw2082 · July 2013

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???

themrsJRD · July 2013

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

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

You seem to have a hard time understanding that for your argument to be valid, you need to post direct violations of those rules. Sorry that you and others don't always hear what you want to hear, but that's not bullying. It's blunt and direct in here, and that's NEVER going to change. So keep stomping your feet and protesting the nature of the board, or feel free to move on over to a board that is more in line with your line of beliefs. Babycenter.com is a great place for that.

Either way, this board is gonna keep moving right along the same way it always has. Drive by BFPs will continue to be flamed, and many people who stick around will continue to get pregnant using ideas they never heard of until coming to this board. Good luck with your irrelevant anti bullying campaign, though.

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.

Wtf are you talking about? Pretty sure someone who is 4.5 months pregnant isn't still lurking on the TTGP board unless they're a grad. And if they wait til that point to decide to intro, then they deserve to be flamed. That's just ignorant.

Also some people post on both TTC and 3T. Watch where you're headed.

Just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper.

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.

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.

Ok, I'm honestly sorry that I upset people. I didn't know anything about a 3 day rule or whatever. I'll just leave the group. Again, good luck. Bye.
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!!

Its not uncommon for communities (online and off) to get to know each other at least a tiny bit before announcing big news. I don't think its out of line to ask that you participate here and get to know the ladies here before you shove your positive pee stick in their face. That is just common courtesy, don't you think?

Also, OP's question is really hard to answer for many reasons: a.) She saw the test and we did not. So we can't answer if it is an evap line. b.) She didn't show us the picture c.) Even if it is a positive its outside the time window so the only other option is to retest in the morning. There is no way around that.

So, participation is appreciated and giving support is appreciated before you automatically expect people to jump up and down for your potential positive pee stick. If you don't do that you are essentially a stranger and really, no one cares about your BFP. You are announcing to people who don't know you and don't have anything invested in your personal life. If you don't invest something then folks feel no need to invest in you.

Reciprocity man. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

MrsPedersen · July 2013

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.
