Positive or evap line?

Ok, so I took this HPT and it was VERY faint at first...to the point where I considered I might be hallucinating. But then about an hr or so after the "time limit" it became this clear. Any suggestions or similar situations?

ReTest but don't be too discouraged. I had  a similar result on the first test I took. I ended up taking a couple more tests on different brands the same day. I just waited about 4-6 hours between bathroom trips.All were faint positives. The next morning I went with a digital because faint lines can make you crazy. It was nice to just read "pregnant".

I would also retest with a pink test with first morning urine.  You cannot trust the test results an hour later.

If there was a line within the time frame no matter how light it could def. be a positive however, I hate blue dye tests they give false positives.  Use a pink dye test first thing in the morn like first response early, ive never gotten a false result with it.  Good luck.

If it appeared anytime after the 10 minutes (or 3 minutes, whatever the test says) it's considered invalid and is not accurate. Retest in the morning with first morning urine. I'd also suggest a pink dye test. Blue dyes are more prone to evaps and false positives.
