Boots pregnancy tests - line getting weaker?

So, not sure how worried I should be. Last Thursday I got my first BFP with a Clearblue digital test. Hoorah. Over the next 4 days I did 3 FRERs with the results getting a bit stronger each time.

However, today I did a Boots Own test and the result is really weak, despite AF being 4 days late now.

Does anyone know if these are good tests? Is this something I should worry about?

Driving myself crazy texting everyday but I have no other symptoms so it's the only way I can convince myself it's real.

Tests in order below, 1st, 3rd FRER, with the Boots ones at the end. Second eyes much appreciated!

I'd maybe try another FRER? It could be that the Boots tests aren't as sensitive so pick up less if that makes sense? X

I wouldn't worry too much, it's probably just that the boots test is not as sensitive as the FRER.

If you are comparing lines to see progression you need to use the same test, different levels of dye, different sensitivity etc.

I wouldnt worry.

Thanks everyone. Definitely need to stop testing so much. This way madness lies. Will try to resist Smile

In my own experience the frer should be darker if you're 4 days late. I'm sorry if that worries you. I would retest on a frer in the morning and just compare those. Good luck.

I never understand this. You have your BFP. Stop with the stick peeing!

@siakcaci haha. I also used to wonder why people did this. I think it's just that I have zero symptoms so keep second guessing myself!
