faint positive 30min after...

I took a FRER test this morning and negative.  I went to the kitchen and about 30min later went back into the restroom and there was a very faint positive.  Is it likely that this was a true positive or an evaporation line?

I would definitely test again in a day or two.  When I was pregnant with my first, I didn't see a line on the test and threw it in a drawer.  I looked at it the next day and there was a line there.  Low and behold I was pregnant.  With this pregnancy I had a similar experience only it was about ten minutes later when I looked again and saw a really faint line.   Again it was a positive.  Good luck to you :)

FRER isn't notorious for evaporation lines but they have been known to put out "bad batches" before. I would re-test in 2 days with first morning urine. Because the pregnancy hormone doubles every 2-3 days you may have a more accurate result if you are pregnant.

But as the previous commenter said - must be read within 10 minutes so I wouldn't count it as positive whatsoever.

Any result after 10 mins on the test should be digarded. If it wasnt there within the 3-5 mins it is more than likely an evaporation line.
