Chemical? Line eyes and opinions please

[ashm22]

I am 12 DPO today. Since ovulation I have had tender nipples and been a bit weepy. I have been feeling quite tired too. On Tuesday (10 DPO) I don’t think I had ever felt so tired!

I took a test yesterday afternoon, and I saw a faint line, so I took another later in the evening and I felt like it was a bit darker. Did a test this morning, and there is still a line but it doesn’t seem to be darker. If anything, I’d say it’s lighter.

I have some FRER due to be delivered today. The positive appeared on a wondfo test. I’ve never used them before and I wonder if I got a dodgy batch? The blue test on the first pic is a cheapy from Asda and I feel there is a line on the one, but it is quite faint.

could it be a chemical?

I'd give it a few more days before counting yourself out. It's still very early and is likely to fluctuate on the darkness of lines. Try in a couple of days to confirm but so far I'd say congratulations, you're pregnant!

I’d say give it a few days for the hcg to build up. And even then, the cheapies vary in quality a lot, I have done several with the same pee, and gotten different darkness lines. And personally I have always gotten a stronger line on an evening hold rather than morning pee.

You’re far too early to be testing multiple times a day, your hcg will be so much weaker if you’ve not had a urine hold for long enough or you’ve had a drink. Also I never got an amazing line on the cheaper tests. I’d do an FRER and if you need to do another use the same test and wait at least 24 hours. Good luck!

I've had all my positives for both my pregnancies on the cheaper tests.
First time I was 5 days late and it came up pretty dark. Most recent one, cycles all over the place only tested cause I felt "weird" and it was super faint but definite positive.
Try again in a couple of days in the morning to be sure but they both look positive to me

Be strict with yourself - stop testing randomly throughout the day. Use FRERs and only do the one test per day first thing with FMU. Even better if you just do one every 2 days to be honest.

Hi 6 days before period. Photo taken 1 minute after testing. Can you see a faint cross or are my eyes deceiving me? X
