Could it be? BFP or Evap????

Okay...here's a bit of history about me.

I have two children, 2 1/2 and 8 mo. My 8 mo. old son is still exclusively breast fed. I have the Mirena IUD (my pregnancies are VERY difficult...and dangerous, and I don't have med. insurance right now so we opted to get this following his birth) and have had it in since late May '06. I have not gotten AF back yet, and DH and I have only 'done the deed' a hand full of times since my son's birth. That last time was a week and a half ago. Well, this past Wed. I had the worst migraine that lasted up through yesterday (These are both BIG time early, early pg symptoms in the past). I have also started breaking out like crazy (I look like a teen again). I figured it was because AF must be getting ready to return (I started cycling again just shy of 6 mo. w/ my first born). We just moved last month so I was going through a box a few days back and found an HPT that I bought a few months back (Sept?) when I wanted to make sure there wasn't going to be any surprise babies on the way before starting school (not wanting to start, spend all that money, take out all those loans, and have to withdrawl due to being pregnant and sick and on bed rest the majority of the pregnancy). I remembered it this morning when I woke up to pee, and just for S&G (sh**s and giggles) I decided to take it since it was FMU.

Well, whie I was waiting for the results, the power went out and I got called away to tend to my 2 chidlren. When I got back, it was after the 10 min. window, and this is what I found. It's not very dark, but it's a lot darker than this picture shows. The ONLY camera that I've been able to find the entire month we've been here...our good one disapeared and this one is ancient...like 1.3 megapixles ancient. I edited it as best as I can, but it still isn't very dark. Some screen adjusting and squinting may be required. In the first link, it's the edited version (croped down, lightened, and a circle around the test line...either evap or BFP...you tell me).

The second link is the origional picture.

What do y'all think? BFP or evap? It is actually pink like the controle line, just really really really light. When I look at it there isn't any adjusting, etc. needed...just looking straight at it and you can see the faint line. It is just as dark as the BFP I got about 1 1/2 wks after BDing and conceiving my son...maybe a tad bit lighter.

HELP!!!!!! I honeslty don't know HOW I could possibly be pregnant right now...not w/ all the precautions we've taken!!! I haven't even had the "right" CM for it!!! Honestly, I don't want to be pregnant. My pregnancies are SOOOOOO difficult!!! Short of hiring a nanny (which I can't afford), I don't know how I'd get through another pregnancy!

So, what do you think ladies...am I all worked up over an evap line? Or should I start crocheting more little booties?

note: DH gets paid on Thursday, so I can't afford to get another test before then.

Why, oh why, do I torment myself????

its hard to see. you might need to retest again. i know how you feel about rough pregnancies, mine get rough too. i had gestational diabetes and pre eclampsia my last time around. i just had my mirena iud removed on wednesday because i dont like not getting my period. after a couple of months after the iud was put in (6 weeks postpartum in july 2005) i stopped getting my period. good luck and i hope you get the answer you want.
