I waited a little over 10 minutes to look at my Answer pregnancy test and it was a BFP!!!! But I'm wondering if it was an evap. line? I've never had an evap line before, and I've taken plenty of tests- positive and negative. I just don't know. Here is a blurry picture:

Did you watch it the whole time or did you go away for 10 minutes and came back to the line? I've never had an evaporation line, so I don't know. Can you test again with a different brand?

I hope this is it for you! Good luck!!

I came back and saw it. I'm going to test again later with a different brand

I heard it takes HOURS for an evaporation line to show up - so I think after only 10 minutes, unless you're living in the middle of the Sahara Desert to rival drying properties :crazy: , it's an official pregnancy line. :)

This is what I was going to say.

Congratulations!

With my first BFP (big FAINT positive!) there was no line until I came back and looked at the test 15-20 minutes later...but I now have a 4 month old to show for it! :supergrin

An evaporation line, when it shows up, is whitish or grey. The fact that your line has a colour to it, makes me think it's a bfp! In order for any colour to show, there has to be some hcg present to react to produce the colour - hope this makes sense.
When I was pg with Parker, the same thing happened te me - I woke up POAS and looked at it - it was -ve. I went bak to be, utterly depressed. When I got up an hour later - the line was there!! I tested +ve right away the next day. :)

CONGRATS! You should come to the Cycle Buddy thread and post your good news! We haven't had a BFP in so long!!!
