EPT TEST

Has anyone had a EVAP Line on a EPT test. I just took a test a little while ago and at first it did not show the plus sign. I went back about 30min later and I saw the + sign. This has never happened were I could see it before.
Thanks

The same thing happened again today,I took a ept test and when I got out of the shower there was a faint line. I know that it had to be about 10 min or a little after.
Thanks

but if the test was in the bathroom while you were in the shower then the mist could affect the test. i had that happen before, it didnt develop correctly because i took a shower while i was waiting for the test to develop.

Hello


If it was the EPT +/- I would NOT trust it, IMHO. That test is awful and

ive never had a problem with ept but i have decided on buying cheap tests from now on since they work great and cost less. i would retest with maybe a dollar store test.

Hi there, I don't usually use EPT, but here's some good info you might want to check out:

I'm pretty sure any line you see after the designated time limit (usually 10mins) is considered an evap line. Maybe try testing again tomorrow?

I had a similar problem with the +/- tests. I had 3 (yes THREE) positive tests with the Clearblue +/- tests last month that turned out to be negative.

I'll never use another +/- test again. I'll stick with the cheap (yet VERY accurate) Internet cheapie tests or dollar store tests from now on (but only the ones that give two PINK lines, no plusses, and NO blue lines - their evaporation lines look too much like faint positives to me).

www.Peeonastick.com is a very good site indeed! I encourage everyone to check it out!

Good luck and baby dust to all!
