If I were you I would go have a blood test done. I know that a blood
test will show up 7-10 after conception. But I think there is a great
possiblity, you are pregnant. It and evaperation line doesn't even
really look pink or blue, It is like this clear looking line that shows
up hours after the urine has had time enough to dry up in the test area.
I know that it says on the box that 10 minutes don't go by the results
deal. But with all of my pregnancy test, I have always waited that ten
minutes and even at the doctors office they wait aleast ten minutes, or
aleast my doctor's office did.
Hope this helps let up know the results of next test

>>>Barbara, Aimstick is "stronger than EPT" Morning urine has better concentration than the afternoon one. After 10 days of ovulation it is normal to have negative EPT, even Aimstick. Iknow that instructions talk about the 10 minutes evapoartion line, but I HAVE NEVER HAD A POSITIVE EVAPORATION LINE with AIMSTICK, even if I wait for hours...
>>I think you may be pregnant. Test again in the next two days to confirm.
