I have had the feeling that I was pregnant for a little while, but since we weren't trying, and I had a small bit of bleeding, I didn't think much of it.
I know you're not supposed to look at tests after the time frame, but I always have and I've never seen anything like this. After I took the test, I saw what I thought was a really faint second line. After 15 minutes, it turned into a very dark red line and it has stayed there for over 24 hours. The same thing happened on two other tests of the same brand, though one of them showed up like that after 7 minutes (2 minutes after you weren't supposed to look at it anymore).
I've followed up with two other tests of other brands and I only see very faint "maybe there" lines. I know that after the time frame, there can be evaps, but aren't they usually grey or white and not super dark red with the same width as the control line? Do I need to stop obsessing and chalk it up to "don't look at the test after the time frame?" Thank you in advance.
