A little help with this.

Ok AF is late [YIKES] it was as of last weekend from what I have figured out. So I took a test Sunday morning. And it was negative. So started making sure to temp every day and on Tuesday my temps were still up and no sign of AF at all. Took another test. There was a dark blue dot where the plus sign should be but I couldn't really see a line. When I got home from work that day there was a barely there line from what I could see. So I waited and bought more tests yesterday and took one when I got home and I didn't see anything in the window during the minute test went back before 10 min was up and thought I could make out a line but not totally sure. This morning when I looked at it there was a line. Faint but there and probably hard to see when the strip was wet. Same thing happened to the test I took this morning. I drank a lot yesterday and I read that apparantly can mess with the levels and dilute it.

Is it possible that line can appear over time from evaporation? Someone mentioned that to me as a possible explaination. AF is still not here and I don't want to spend more money on tests right now. I can't see my doctor til next week. I took a pic of the tests. It was hard to see the lines with the camera but they are there. Very faint but there. What do you guys think?:f

You shouldn't ever trust a reading from a test past its time limit.

This link http://www.peeonastick.com/hptfaq.html#12 talks about that specifically, and http://peeonastick.com/hpt/cautionary.html goes into more detail.

I took the test at 6:20am and took a picture of it at 4:45 when I got home from work and noticed the line.

Turns out AF arrived this morning. At least I think it is her. But I am in a lot of pain, more then my normal cramps which I rarely get. [post25] We are both very disappointed this morning. Hubby and I had talked and while it would have been unexpected we would have worked things out we always do. He said he was hoping for a little girl. I am trying not to cry about it because obviously it isn't our time (even though we have had more sex this month than any other month :f ) And I am doubly diappointed because my best friend is pregnant and I would have been 4 weeks behind her so we would have been pregnant together. It would ne nice to have a pregnancy buddy since with my son I was alone and didn't know anyone that I could talk to or relate to what I was going through. Not a reason to have a child I know but it would have been great to have someone going through it all with me. I know that probably sounds silly. Anyway looks like it isn't happening this month.
