Chemical? :(

All tests 48 hours apart

I did drink a lot of water last night/in the day, could this affect the lightness of FMU or am I kidding myself?

Surely those look positive OP?

Pugmumm · 05/10/2021 09:50

Just take a look again, I think the 5 is slightly off maybe due to the water intake- what time of day do you test? The 3 looks very strong.

H0cusP0cus · 05/10/2021 09:54

5 seems slightly lighter but this can be due to numerous things.
Time did you test?
First wee?
Water before hand?
Are you testing the same time every two days?

They do, but the last one hasn't got darker after 48 hours so am preparing for the worst :(

Thank you. 3 and 5 are FMU and I did drink a lot of water before bed last night, I may try again tomorrow

You can test your hCG levels with your doctor

I took another this afternoon, does it look darker than this morning or is this hopeless?

Take a pic next to your number 5 one this morning. It does look darker

Here it is x

Yes that does look darker to me. And giving the time of day it's a good line.
My advise, stop testing. It causes so much stress and anxiety like I'm sure you've had all day.
Congrats and hope all goes well

Thanks so much for your kindness

I know, I never did this with my last pregnancy. I think I did 2 tests and that was it. My anxiety is being compounded by a 14 week loss in August, I don't think my heart can take it. Git everything crossed xx

Took another today

Doesn't seem to be getting darker or lighter

Not sure what to think

AF due Friday, app says I would be 3 weeks today

@Flossyrex go to your doctor for a blood test :)

H0cusP0cus · 06/10/2021 09:37

It's a strong positive before AF op.
But as pp it might be best to get a blood test to put your mind at ease
