Woo hoo! With this one, I didn't figure out I was pregnant until over 5 weeks... I'd had a lot to drink up until then, including several margaritas the day before.
Unlike with C, where the line showed up immediately, nothing showed up right away and I was going to toss the test. Instead, I set it on a tissue and jumped in the shower. I was in shower for maybe 7 minutes max, and there was a definite line when I checked afterwards. I have no idea if it's a true line or an evap line since it was outside of the 5 minute period.
I thought it was a 10 minute period? My BFP took time to show up on Wondfos too at first, at 11-12 dpo.
I have heard blue dye tests are more prone to evap lines, but I don't know. I'd just get a digital.
You are fine to drink till it's pink. You're not sharing blood yet at pre-line stage.
I never used a FRER but I've heard those are best. Definitely pink dye though! And I drank quite a bit 2 days before I got my BFP and E is just fine I've read that it technically doesn't "matter" until you start sharing a blood stream around 6 weeks.
