Anyone get stronger BFP lines in afternoon than morning?

Hi all

Just as it says really; I tested positive 3 days ago and since then I have a light BFP in morning and strong in afternoon. I don’t get up during the night to pee so my morning pee is definitely more conc. I don’t know what’s going on, maybe a sign of another chemical? I had a chemical last month and experienced similar.

thanks all x

I had the same for whatever reason. I also had tests that got lighter at one point. It’s not a sign of a chemical and I’m now 11 weeks.

Thanks @Twoinapod as I had a chemical
last month I’m a bit more on edge…but thank you. Great to hear others experienced something similar and all was ok. Seems to be every morning it’s a light line and every afternoon/evening it’s strong, it is bizarre!

Congrats on your pregnancy.

My last pregnancy I had better results with afternoon pee. Not sure why as I feel like I had more fluids in the morning than before bed.

@Boymum111 can I be cheeky and ask you after your chemical did your cycle take long to come back. I'm 6 weeks post chemical and no ovulation.

Hi @Ella31 no probs! my cycle came back to normal within a few days - I was positive for around 5 days and once lines faded and disappeared AF arrived and cycled continued as normal - so overall only a few days difference.

I also had stronger tests in the afternoon, my morning ones were always very faint! Doesn’t make sense really but that cycle was successful for me. Everything crossed for you OP!

@AfterGlow87 yes this is currently what’s happening to me! I can’t find a logical reason for it but so glad to hear that cycle was successful for you! Just one of those things! Thanks so much

@Boymum111 I think the important thing is if you are going to be a serial tester, test at the same time every day so that your progression looks a bit more accurate, so either do all of you tests first thing in the morning or all in the afternoon. Otherwise you'll drive yourself mad comparing dark and faint lines from the same day

@Pitstop1986 yes - I think this is true! It’s just hard when you test in the morning and it is so faint, for reassurance you test again and it’s darker. I’ve stopped testing first thing just today and yesterday

For anyone following this post I got 1-2 weeks on a CB on Monday and 2-3 weeks today, Friday. Hoping all is well!

So happy for you @Boymum111

Step away from the tests now and enjoy your pregnancy! I'll see you on the pregnancy forum!

This happened to me too, photos of tests attached! When I took the test at 13DPO in the morning I convinced myself I was having a chemical! Apparently it's to do with how some people metabolise HCG? I don't really know. But I stopped taking tests with FMU after that and am now 32 weeks!

@sugarspices this will be so helpful for anyone else seeing this post! It actually is a thing then! Thank you, very interesting.

@Pitstop1986 yes, I am not testing anymore, craziness done ✅ ha ha

Yes! Mine were strongest in the afternoon. Or after lunch specifically!

I am now in third trimester.

FMU were usually my lightest. And I drove myself into constant panics.

I would just stop testing. :-)
