Ello' everyone. Its been a while since Ive visited. DH and I are still on the TTC journey, in hopes that this month it'll end with a BFP, fingers crossed!

Internet cheapies: This is my first month to invest in internet cheapies HPT. I took one yesterday morning, and once all the pink was gone there was a slight line. Thinking this looks like an EVAP, I made a control strip and dipped it in water only. To my surprise the water strip had no evap line at all. So I retested this morning, and same faint line. When compared to the strip dipped in water, there is a vast difference.

Are internet cheapies known for bad evaps?


Upon, looking at +HPT's on fertility friend of these cheapies it could be a BFP, but again the proof is only after seeing darker lines.
I realize my only true option is to wait, and retest every morning to see if the line gets darker. But for now, the internet cheapies debate continues...

It could be the real thing, I would keep testing...

I'm one of those who will dip a 2nd strip if I have ANY questions about the 1st test. If anything do another each morning with FMU see what cha get.. GOOD LUCK Melly

Sometimes IC can be quite deceiving. If it looks pink then keep testing. If it looks like any thing else, then it could possibly be an evap. Keep testing and keep us posted!

Did the line show up within 10 minutes? If so that sounds like a BFP to me! Otherwise it is most likely an evap.

it showed up nearly right away... but for now I'm calling it evap, since it was so light. I will retest in the morning and see what happens. If the line doesn't get darker then I know to keep testing. After all I bought 25... That should be enough to get me thru the month
