Am I crazy, Or is this a cruel joke?

I got out of the shower and sat down to put lotion on. I kinda laughed to myself bc the lotion I have is what I bought the night that I also got the HPTs. Anyway, it made me look at the negitive test once again. The only thing is it's positive now. I know better than to get my hopes up. I was just wondering if it has ever happened before. The ET was on the 29th of Nov. Beta was on the 9th of Dec. I took this HPT on the 8th.
What in the world does this mean??
Help!!!!!
Thanks,

Unfortunately, hpt's can have an evaporation line, which is what you're seeing. If your beta was negative, then unfortunately, it's negative, as the beta is the one & only true test.

Thank you Karen. I figured as much. But I was wondering if it was maybe a chemical pg or mc. I called the RE and it even stumped her. She said that the pink line meant there was a chemical reaction on the test. I asked about a evaporation line and she said those normally aren't pink, and are not in the same spot where a + would be. I don't think I am pg, just something about seeing that line makes you rethink everything. When I took the test I only waited about 10 mins (during the time I was in the shower) before I put it back into the box...
Oh well, I am still gearing up for our FET in Jan. Keep your us in your prayers please.
I keep telling myself that good or bad, I can say that we tried everything.
Thanks for the reply. I was starting to think I was crazy. Funny how a box w/ 2 HPTs and you get one that has to be a crazy test.

Thank you again Karen, for everything.

Rhonda,
I know, it IS crazy, but hang in there!! Seeing a 2nd line there does make you wonder. I've had an evaporation line on an hpt before too & it was pink, right in the spot it should've been. I'm just dumb enough that I did it after I got my BFN on my 1st cycle. Why I thought that the hpt would be positive when I already knew that the beta was negative is beyond me?! I waited the 3 minutes that I was supposed to wait & when it was negative, I threw it away in the bathroom. That night when I went to bed, I decided to torture myself & pull it out so I could have that blank stick slap me in the face again with the disappointment, & I was surprised to see that 2nd line. That was horrible because I KNEW that the beta wouldn't lie- but I had wished that it could.

I know lots of ladies who've had their fresh cycles fail & their FET's work, so be filled with hope!!
