A member asked:

What is the difference between a evaporation line on a pregnancy test and a faint line ob one? plz no depends on test i need details!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaporation line?: These tests are fairly accurate and do not "evaporate". If you think you are pregnant, repeat your HPT and if still uncertain, get a blood HCG test for pregnancy.
