What does it mean if I see a faint second line (test line) but its after the 10 minute cutoff?
A true positive will usually show up within the first couple of minutes. It could be what is sometimes called an “evaporation line”. Generally, evaporation lines are light gray, shadowy lines and any pregnancy test can have this occur. It is when a faint test line appears AFTER the 10 minute time limit. This brand of test does not seem to have a problem with evaporation lines although no brand can say that it will never happen. If a second line shows up AFTER 10 minutes you should consider this a negative result and retest in 24-48 hours or consult your doctor.
