Lines staying exactly the same for days on end!?

Has anyone experienced test lines just staying the same over the course of a few days - neither getting lighter or darker?

I had a chemical pregnancy earlier in the year and the lines faded out into nothing, and with my ‘successful’ pregnancy they continued to get darker… so I’m feeling pretty lost about what’s going on.

I have added a photo - the two tests at the top we’re taken a day apart and are 25mlU. I have only taken 1 FRER but will take another on Thursday. The easy at home tests we’re each taken 2 days apart and are 10mlU.

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Am also concerned that the lines aren’t very dark for 19DPO?

Mine was definitely darker at 19dpo but everyone is different and as I’ve read many times on here pregnancy tests are there to show whether you’re pregnant or not, not how pregnant you are so I’d take comfort in the fact your tests are definitely positive and try to step away from further testing if you can help it x

@PointyMcguire Thank you, I know you’re right, it’s just so hard to step away from the tests!

@abbaroony trust me I know! I remember at 5wks finding myself doing my remaining digi Clearblue wondering what the heck I was playing at as I just knew if it didn’t show 3wks+ it’d just add to my anxiety. Also randomly found myself testing the urine I’d gathered for my booking in appt just in case it turned out I’d imagined the whole thing as I didn’t want to waste the midwife’s time (this was despite already having an early scan so I knew there was something in there 🙈)

The cheapie little strips basically stay the same for days on end then suddenly leap forward. It’s like pears: too hard too hard too hard too hard overripe.

Stop taking tests, you’re pregnant!

Sorry if you wanted positive stories but when mine were like that I paid for an early scan at 8 weeks and it was a blighted ovum. I hope things are better for you 💐

Just to update, as I know it can be annoying when people don’t, I started to miscarry at 5+1. I’m glad the uncertainty didn’t go on for weeks and we can hopefully try again soon.

So sorry to read this.

Take care of yourself and wishing you a speedy journey to your rainbow pregnancy.

Thanks so much. We’re 18 months in now, including a loss at 23 weeks, so it’s feeling like a bit of a slog to be honest, but I’m sure we’ll get there eventually. Thank you all for the support during an anxious time.
