Faint line 12DPO? Chemical?

GlasgwegianMama · 03/11/2022 06:07

hi guys I am ttc and I think I’m 12dpo. I got a very faint positive yesterday at 11dpo. Today at 12dpo I think it’s a little darker but still very faint.

I’ve had chemical pregnancies before…could this be another one? Or is it normal for it it to be light on the cheapies strips at 12dpo?

Congratulations 🎉

This looks so similar to the BFP I had on a cheepie, when I feel pregnant with my second - she's now 2.5 years old.

Thank you so much for replying, lovely! Was yours like this at 12dpo? Did it get darker? Xx

I’m trying not to get too excited because I’m so scared of being disappointed! but I can’t help being excited and scared at the same time! Xxx

Calm down 🙄

OP, that is very faint. I would maybe try a FRER at this point.

Id have thought it would be a little darker at 12po tbh.

It's cruel for people to say "congratulations" on a mark as light as that.

You may have had different experiences @ImEasyLikeSundayMorning but I'm sharing based on mine!

This was mine at 14DPO which is when I took a freer too.

Ooh that looks quite similar to my cheap strip in real life actually! Hopefully mine keeps getting darker and is a successful pregnancy like yours, fingers crossed! Thanks so much for sharing that pic, honestly appreciate it so much!!

I also thought it was too light :( but it’s reassuring to hear others have had similar experiences and gone on to have successful pregnancies! Gives me a bit of hope :) TTC is so hard! xx

I'm 12dpo and my cheapie looks the same but very strong on FRER!

Mammamia23 · 03/11/2022 06:47

Hi @GlasgwegianMama these pictures are from yesterday at 11DPO. Will take more tests today at 12DPO. They’re faint, so next 24-48 hours I really want them to get stronger! Lines are the same from my 1st baby though so keeping everything crossed.

That second test looks amazing! Especially for a CB!

Now here's a massive congratulations!!!!

RainbowMama23 · 03/11/2022 15:59

Thank you so much!!! I wasn’t expecting it at all as I’ve heard CB isn’t very sensitive! ❤️❤️My previous cheapy strip tests must have been rubbish since they showed up so light! The new test is much more reassuring Xx

Jacko10 · 03/11/2022 17:16

I made the mistake of doing another frer test today and now panicking as its slightly lighter than yesterday 🙈🙈🙈😥😥😥

hope you’re okay!! Did you use morning urine for yesterday’s test? Did you drink a lot of water before? Maybe the wee was just more diluted than the day before!! Any updates today? Xxx

Jacko10 · 04/11/2022 14:59

No I hadn't but I didn't the day before either so was a like for like. However I did another this morning and is a bit lighter again so it's bad news! Feeling a bit rubbish to be honest x

Oh im so so sorry lovely 💔 I know that feeling and it’s horrible. Take care of yourself this weekend and be kind to yourself. Sending you a big virtual hug and baby dust. I really hope you’re okay xxx

Jacko10 · 04/11/2022 19:29

Thank you @RainbowMama23 . This happened with my first pregnancy too and super lucky to have caught quickly after... just put my lovely little one to bed and hugged him extra tight! X

Jacko10 · 06/11/2022 07:37

@RainbowMama23 and anyone else who finds this in future. I've got a really strong positive test. I actually can't believe it, I was so sure it was all over. Hoping it all continues and all is well 🤞🤞 x
