Evap lines

I took another pregnancy test yesterday morning, its a generic brand from a drugstore. (Rexall from Pharma Plus)  I waited the 3 minutes and it looked clearly negative, so I put aside and went about my day. Last night just for no real reason I decided to look at it again. This was about 12 hours later, and I noticed a very very faint second line indicating positive. I have a second test because it was a box of two, but I want to wait until later in the week to take it.  Is the second line I saw 12 hours later just an evap line or should I consider this test positive????

Evap lines are common if you read a test outside of the time limit. I would wait a more days and re test and make sure you read it in the correct time limit.

It could be an evap line. I have never tried that test so I don't know if evap lines are common or not. The instructions should say the time period in which the test is valid, usually within the first 10 minutes and after that, all results are considered invalid. So after 12 hours, I would disregard that test and take another one later in the week.
