Faint line on Accu-clear pregnancy test?

Question

I think I may be pregnant. ( I have an irregular cycle so I am not sure when I am due to start). I took 3 tests and all have a very, VERY faint line in the test window. I am worried that they may be evaporation lines though. The lines appeared within the test time guidlines (3-5 miniutes) and are a purple color ( pink/ purple is what they are supposed to be) but they are not as wide as the control line. So that is why I think they may be false positives... but on all 3 test??? What do you think?
They were Accu- clear tests if anyone has had any experiance with them.

Accu-Clear Early Pregnancy Tests
The one-step Accu-Clear Early Pregnancy Test provides accurate and clear results in just 3 minutes. Easy-to-use Accu-Clear Early Pregnancy Test Sticks are over 99% accurate, and cost less than other leading brands. Tests can be done as early as the first day of a missed period and can be performed at any time of day that’s convenient.

If it was an evap line it would be a gray color or just an indent. I think you are pregnant. If you do not think that test is correct then buy a different brand.

Here is info on an evap line:
What's an evaporation line? Evaporation ("evap") lines result with the test's antibody strip just looks slightly different than the space around it. There is a line of antibodies (usually made from mouse cells) in the Control and Test section. The Control line binds with any liquid and turns pink (or blue, in tests using blue dye.) The Test/Result line turns pink only if pregnancy hormone is detected. If not, the moisture passes over this strip and does not turn pink. It may, however, become more visible when the light hits the moisture on the strip-- it may appear gray, colorless, like a "dent" in the test, or like a "ghost line." It may appear at any time-- as soon as the urine hits it, after a few minutes as the test absorbs the moisture, or after the 10-minute time limit. It may appear when the test is drying, or after it has dried. It may disappear as the test is drying, or after the test has dried, or not disappear at all.

The simple fact is that there is always "something there" that is slightly visible-- it's simply the antibodies on the test that would turn pink in the presence of hCG. When the test becomes wet, or as it dries, or after it dries, the antibody strip may become more visible. Therefore, all tests may have them. It is not a defect; it's just how tests are made.

A real positive is identified by its color (pink or blue, whatever the color of the test's dye is) and its appearance within 10 minutes of urinating on the stick. A line that appears after 10 minutes, regardless of color, must be considered an evap line and is caused by the test's chemicals changing. HPT's are rapid assay diagnostics, which means any results appearing after the "rapid" time limit of 10 minutes are invalid.
