One Step tests - are they always really faint? 18DPO and still faint?

[Tinypeanut1224]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with One Step pregnancy test strips?

I'm currently 4+5 weeks pregnant or 18DPO/CD34 and I've had positives on FRERs but I've been checking with One Steps as they're so cheap but they're so faint? They do seem to be getting darker but it's still a lot more faint than I'd have expected at this point. Does anyone else have experience with them being faint?

Thanks in advance!

For a one step test I don't think that is actually that faint. I didn't keep doing them when I was pregnant with my DD but I think mine was a similar darkness when I was late for AF.

Mine never got any darker than that and the pregnancy was successful

Awww thanks ladies - thats made me feel much better! 🤩
