Is it normal to get slow progression on internet cheapies?

I've been doing them for about 6 days or so. 1st few days there was nothing at all but the past 3 days I can see a really faint line. Todays is probably most noticeable. But they're not getting darker much. I'm not due AF until maybe the weekend (not 100% sure) but I am around 14dpo now.

I think progression on ic are terrible they don't really get going until a bit later on I have found

They’re not as sensitive as early response tests. Also hcg takes around 48 hours to increase so you won’t see much doing them every day.

try doing a frer to be sure

Do a frer! These are mine and I can just about see it on a cheapie!! Be a lot easier for you to see and track

What ones are you using? Easy@home showed good progression for me but I’ve heard other tests take ages to show up

How many dpo are you? I got a faint positive response on an internet cheapie at 11DPO and it did gradually get darker but the line wasn't the same colour as the control line until a week after.

Thank you to everybody for replying!
I've just ordered a pack of frer so they should be here tomorrow.

It's the one step cheapies I've got. They're a white packet. I used them when I was pregnant last month that ended in a CP but I was over the 4 Week mark before I got faint positives and I did get better lines on the frers.

I should be around 14dpo yet but i don't know for sure. Im not sure when AF is due either as it varies. With my son I didn't get a faint positive until CD47! No idea when I ovulated. Was over 10 years ago now so feel like I'm all new to this again

This is the tests I've done. Top is today, middle is yesterdays and bottom is the day before. Once dried I've noticed they look darker. It was the same with my last pregnancy but I woulda thought by now I would see a difference.
I'm currently waiting for frer tests to arrive so will know for sure once I've done 1 of those.
Not sure if any1 can see the faint lines? They're easier to see in person

If it helps, these were my IC 11-14DPO and my FRER on 12 and 14 DPO. Until 14 DPO, I couldn't see anything on IC until they had dried. Which isn't accurate! Xxx

Thanks @positivethoughts1! Such a difference. I'm just worried I've been doing them for about 5 days and not much has changed. Wondering if they're all bad evaps. I guess I'll find out with the frers!
