Af is due on Tuesday but for quite a while I've "known" we conceived this month so have been early testing like a crazy woman!!
I got feint lines on Friday and Saturday, just tested again today and they're not looking much stronger :-/ is that anything to worry about?
I'll upload photos - first Friday, second today.
Thanks for any advice!

The top second one looks stronger to me op

Well it's hard to tell because of the internet cheapie ones. Whatever the other brand is it's looking stronger today so fx hun looks good to me though!

The second one looks stronger to me too. Could you invest in a FRER to confirm? Xxx

today's tests definitely look darker .considering that your af is due Tuesday and I can see a faint line on an ic, I would say congrats op

I got a pale but definitely there positive on 13dpo. Following day I tested again and it was much paler, I panicked and thought I was losing it (had miscarriage before that). Following day it was the same as 13dpo again, and then got darker. (and that is now my 1 year old!). I think sometimes these things can fluctuate a bit (if it was continually getting paler I guess that might be different). Similar coloured line over 24 hours I'd not be too worried. Good luck!

Oh thank you so much ladies...you've put my mind at ease!!! 😀

@Cake20189 I can never find FRER in my local supermarkets unfortunately, I can get CB Digital though - is it worth getting one of those? And are they any good before you're actually late?

You could try a CB digital but sometimes it takes a while for them to show. Boots sells FRER x

Thank you very much @Cake20189 Smile

When I was testing I tried to make sure I left it a few days before testing again to give the hcg time to build up. I would try and wait until Tuesday and test again. Good luck!

Did you take another test daydreamer? Funnily enough after responding to you the other day, I got a positive frer last night (pale but definitely there within minutes) and this morning the line is barely there 😢 (Have just started separate thread for advice!) Funny how it's easy to give advice to not worry etc but I'm struggling to take that myself! (And of course yours weren't paler just not much darker which I guess is different). Hope you've had a strong positive now 😊

Hi @RoseGoldEagle when is AF due? Maybe you're hormone levels could be fluctuating and you are actually pregnant? When do you think you'll test again?
Totally agree though, it's really easy to be rational and calm about someone else's situation isn't it - I'm doing exactly the same now but wasn't able to for myself at the weekend!!
Thank you for asking and yes I kept doing ICs and kept getting feint lines, then when my period was a day late I did a CB digital and got my BFP!! 😊 I'm delighted and have everything crossed that you get the same result soon xx

Both positive. I wouldn't worry about strength at this time.
