I’m absolutely terrified. Today’s test only slightly darker than thursdays. Help!

Used FRER’s both times.

Took Thursdays around a similar time of day to this one.

The top test is Thursdays and the bottom is today’s.

I’ve had no bleeding but I’m having cramps on and off.

The line IS darker but only very slightly. I thought it would’ve been much darker by now. Will also add that I hadn’t held my wee very long before hand and have not long since had a cup of tea.

Not even sure how many DPO I am as cycles all messed up.

Am I panicking over nothing or does this not bode well?

Last time I had a M/C the second one I took was noticeably lighter. Will take another in the morning and just pray that it’s much darker

Very kindly, I think you’re panicking over nothing. The line is darker. I tested far too early and my lines were very faint for days. It took a week for them to get any darker.
Best of luck.

Hi OP, the line is darker and those tests pick up very little hcg, so the first test could've been at only 6 or something and this on 12, which means it won't be that much darker? It does like a reasonable amount darker though

The second test, the line does look darker. Some people’s HCG levels don’t rise as rapidly as others. Not holding your wee as long could definitely affect it also. Fingers crossed this one sticks for you :)

Thank you. I’m so on edge. Hopefully tomorrow late will be darker. Will update then

If you can OP wait until Monday, it might not be that much darker tomorrow but should be by Monday. Fx it's a sticky bean!

Yes I will try my best! Just looked at the tests again and the second one looks darker still than when I took the first photo.

I’m going to be an absolute nervous wreck for these next few weeks.

Stop testing. How dark the line is has absolutely no baring on how pregnant you are or how viable the pregnancy is. You will drive yourself mad with no endgame.

You really don’t need to keep poas. You did one, it’s +, you’re pg, no need to keep on doing them!

I was a testing fiend with my second DD because I found out RIDICULOUSLY early, like a week before my period was a due and I frankly couldn’t believe it as I had fallen pregnancy with her on a one-off after almost a year of trying for DD1. As you can see the change of the darkness of the line is really subtle. And I would say yours are darker than all of these and DD2 is very much real.

Try and calm down and don’t test for a few days at least. I know it’s hard.

I know, you’re all right. I need to put the sticks down.

We’ve been trying for this baby for 2.5 years with a M/C in between so I’m panicking at every little twinge.

You’ve all put my mind at rest, I was beside myself before I posted. Thank you all!

Put the pee-sticks down and walk away slowly.

Massive congratulations! Fingers and toes crossed for you for a healthy pregnancy! xxx

Yes, definitely leaving them alone now.

I’m driving myself crazy and trying to find something negative all the time.

Mega tired tonight though.

That's good 48hr progression - nothing to worry about. Just try to relax and enjoy, the stress will do neither of you any good. Congratulations!

Thank you gemsie.

I’ve given all of my FRER to OH and he’s hidden them as I think I’ve been driving him up the wall too
