Dollar store tests..evap line? LONG

Hi everyone! Ok so I am not even due for AF until saturday BUT I went to the dollar store after work and bought 5 and tested when I got home last night (tuesday). At first look I thought negative, but then I thought about the really faint lines everyone talks about, especially this early in the testing process and took it under a good light and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me because I thought I saw a VERY LIGHT second line, same thickness as test line and pinkish in color. I do not think this was past the 10 minute limit. I went to do a few errands and came back and there was an obvious second line. Ofcourse I immediatly got the flutters thinking I am pregnant! Figured I would wait until wednesday morning and do it with the good FMU. Did, same exact scenario. Not much there but later a definate line. I know about evap lines a little bit and have visited peeonastick.com. THinking I jumped the gun? My question though is if anyone else had consistant positive looking tests, after the 10min time limit with dollar store tests. I have used brand name ones in the past and even days later there is NO HINT of an evap line, nothing! Or is it just too early? ALso if the general opinion is that it is an evap line, is it still possible that I could be PG this cycle and it is just too early to tell? I know anything is possible, but from your experiences what would you think? I ofcourse told a few people last night that this could be the month based on that first test. Boy that is a lesson to all! DO NOT TELL A SOUL UNTIL YOU ARE SURE SURE SURE!!! Now I will feel like the boy who cried wolf if AF comes! LOL Thanks to all! This process is not as fun as I thought it would be! ONE MORE ? Where can I find a basal thermometer? Looked in the drugstore, but didnt ask. Are they behind the counter somewhere? SORRY SO LONG! PLEASE RESPOND THOUGH!!!

Well I had the same thing happen to me with the faint line and I wasn't preg. I don't want to pop anyone's bubble, but the realitly of it all is that you may be or you may not be. I took several of the $1 test and it was the same thing the line came up pretty much after the test was dry so you could see the line. I thought that was ok because of how pink it was when the test started. Even the next day the line was just alittle darker. And the next day got AF. I've had a 27 day cycle and this month it was a 28 day. Just wanted to share what happened to me. So I know how exciting it is to have that little bit of hope. I wish you all the best of luck. I will try next month again. Baby dust to all.
