Lines pink enough? Or evap?

Hello. 13dpo here. AF usually comes around 10/11dpo. No pregnancy symptoms whatsoever.

Got faint lines on 10miu IC’s yesterday with evening urine and within five minutes. I then got bfn on a clearblue digi.

The tests I’ve done this morning (top 2 tests) are no darker and took a bit longer to show up.

Are the lines even pink enough to indicate pregnancy? I have a second clearblue digi ready to use but when shall I use it?

Unfortunately I can’t get go out and get a FRER right now as I have Covid and only have cash available as my bank card is elsewhere! Nightmare!

I used these years ago when I had IVF. I was having blood tests every few days so the clinic could measure my HCG levels. I just wanted to test at home to feel normal.

My initial tests were the same as yours. Each day I tested same time and same method and gradually they grew darker in line with my HCG blood readings.

So I'd say you are most definitely pregnant! Congratulations.

ICs often take a long time to darken. Also, HCG is quoted as doubling every 48 hours so it seems reasonable there'd be no real difference between yesterday and today. I'd definitely assume you're pregnant, congratulations!

Is the CB digital the one with the weeks indicator? That one is pretty sensitive so I'd be surprised if it's showing negative as I'd expect it to show 1-2 weeks when you're getting visible lines on ICs. I'd probably give it a couple more days before trying the next one, but it should be any day now that a weeks indicator should give you a positive result.

However, if it's the 'Yes/No' CB digital then I get the impression that one isn't as sensitive.

ps. Hope you're feeling better soon. How long have you get left of isolation? If you did want a FRER could you Amazon Prime it? If you ordered today you could probably get it by tomorrow.

Thank you all for coming back to me. I’m hoping they’re positive as I haven’t had many chances in the last year (cycles all over the place). I was just about to make an appointment with the GP before getting these potential positive tests.

I am on day 8 of Covid and not feeling my best. Just been put onto antibiotics by the GP to ‘protect’ my chest as she said it’s not sounding it’s best on the phone. I mentioned the faint test results and she said it’s very likely that I am expecting as even the IC’s are usually reliable indicators.

Managed to get my hands on a FRER and got a positive this afternoon. Just thought I’d let you know in case anybody else was doubting their IC’s 🥰
