Lines not getting darker...

[Bridgey8]

Hi guys

I tested positive at 14dpo with a clear blue digital on Sunday - which said 2-3 weeks pregnant. I've also been peeing on internet cheapie sticks every day since... they are all positive but just not getting darker over time. Any positive stories here?!

@Bridgey8 I've been using the internet pee sticks and I've always had BFN even 20 DPO which I am currently. And no sign of AF.

I have just come off my pill so my cycle could be messed up though.

I also weirdly had an extremely faint positive and then tested next 2 days and was gone.

I played this exact same game and tormented myself with the results. Unless the lines are getting substantially lighter you have no need to worry.

HCG doubles every 48 hours. So you would be looking to compare an internet cheapie from Sunday with one today if you’re going to measure HCG by darkness of line. However all home pregnancy tests is measure HCG in your urine at that moment, the level of HCG in your urine can change day to day depending on a lot of factors which is why if there was a miscarriage concern doctors would run a blood test. Line darkness doesn’t actually tell you a lot. 2-3 weeks on a digital at 14DPO is as good a sign as any.

@Noodella18 were you all ok then?

Thanks @InTheNightWeWillWish

Just bring a stress head!!

@Bridgey8 yep, I'm 22 weeks now :)
