Experience of one step?

Hey I was wondering if anyone could offer any thoughts on one step... I got a positive result this morning and I was hoping to find out if anyone thought this was a true positive? Should the line be darker? My app says in 14 dpo, two days ago I was getting sharp pinching in one side? X

Op I've used one step and most of the cheapies a lot. 2 kids but currently on 6th pregnancy. Most of the cheap ones are the same, but I went through a pack of about 60 One Astro's over 3 losses and a successful pregnancy last year, and they do start faint. For reference, the lightest one here was 16 days after dtd (no idea of ovulation, we weren't trying) and the rest over about 8 days.
No point keep doing them until you've held though, half hour later won't give you an accurate result.

@fluffybunny86 oh wow that's a great line!! Did you have any symptoms when you first got your positive? Xx

No worries @AnxiousAnnie86. Found it reassuring when someone replied to me with a picture. That test was taken on the 23rd December, early xmas present for us and we still have our fingers crossed.
I had the same, immediately did another and it was barely even there. But this was my OneStep this morning, so 11 days later. Please ignore the paint pot.

@fluffybunny86 thanks so much for this, firstly huge congratulations!! How far are you now?
Would you say in your opinion mines positive? There was no line on the second about half an hour later though :( I couldn't resist testing again x

I can see the line without opening the picture. I had the same reservations regarding the one step tests but after getting the first they rapidly became darker

This was mine at approximately 13dpo.

Wish you all the best

@mrscl19 I'm not actually sure as most of my opks have been dark even this morning! This is today's opk! But my app says 14 days ago was my darkest Hmm

@letsgetreadytorumbleagain thank you, I'm going to test again tomorrow and I'd get another line I will use my FRER on Sunday.... whatS confusing me is when I did one half an hour later I couldn't see anything.... x

One step lines are much lighter than First Response. When I've had a line like that on a one step I'd get a dark line on a first response and a pregnant result on a digital.

Good luck

@AnxiousAnnie86 with dd I used one step but didn't test till I was 5 weeks and the line was really dark, I'm sure on one step there not as sensitive, maybe you ovulated/implanted later? Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@limplettice thank you for this, I thought it should be really dark by now :( I did one half an hour later but couldn't see a line then.. could that be as there was no hold? Have you used one step? Sorry for all questions ha xx

Ime that's not a bad One Step line for 14dpo, and I've used lots of them! The cheapies are sensitive I think but the lines take a while to darken. A FRER probably will be darker now, I'd try one tomorrow.

MrsCl19 · 03/01/2020 07:34

Could you get a first response? I'd try get one you should get a clearer line :) good luck
