Ok, so heres whats going on.. April 11th i took an EPT +/- blue dye pregnancy test it was a big fat negative.. So I took one again on the 16th at first it was negative, but after a few hours a faint BLUE *NOT A GREY EVAPORATION LINE* appeared. So on the 17th I tested again.. showed up negative but than the same thing happened with the line appearing after a few hours.. but this time it was really dark and very noticeable... Me and my fiance are TTC. Has this happened to anyone and still been pregnant? *AND YES I KNOW YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT THEM AFTER TEN MINUTES BUT I JUST COULDN'T HELP MYSELF/:*
