Evap or delayed positive?

I took the top one yesterday and it was negative so put it in the bin. It fell out so today picked it up and saw it had turned positive so took the bottom test (negative). Its not optimal time for testing as I hadn't long peed, but is it possible that I'm pregnant. Background: ttc 1y- pcos, infrequent cycles
