Hi all,

I’m CD 24 (cycle usually 25 days), not sure when I ovulated as didn’t test this month.

I did a FRER yesterday around 2pm and have just done another with FMU and I’m concerned it’s lighter than yesterdays test. Could this be a chemical?

The test from yesterday is at the top and this mornings at the bottom.

@Scrambledeggz I never used a frer on the morning urine honestly I had no issues! I took cheapies in a morning and afternoon too and they was always darker in the pm.

So honestly doesn't matter 😀 my lines have progressed darker on an afternoon.

Okay so it should have been stronger this morning than it was yesterday afternoon 😞

The instructions for FRER says you can test at any time but HCG levels are highest in the morning.

You are supposed to use the first wee of the morning.

@yorkshiremumofone oh really?! I always thought you were meant to use morning as it’s more concentrated from you being asleep overnight! I’ll do another test tomorrow before my blood test x

@Scrambledeggz it's positive!! It will be because your morning wee isn't as concentrated as your pm wee! This is like me. My afternoon wee is stronger than my morning!

Thanks for replying. I have booked an HCG blood test for tomorrow and another for Monday. It’s been an extremely long and difficult journey to get a positive test so my anxiety is sky high 😞

HCG doubles every 48 hours so you should test every other day really. Taking 2 tests a day apart won't tell you if it's going to be a chemical or not.

Honestly @Scrambledeggz I think they’re the same, or if anything the second is verrry slightly darker. The lines may well vary a day apart anyway due to how diluted/concentrated the sample is. Good luck! 💜
