I am beyond shocked considering our first baby was conceived via IVF.
I'm 2 days late and been getting negatives on cheapies . Took this FRER with second wee of the day. Just so worried why it's so faint? What does everyone think?

Is this positive ?

Hi, I really hope everything works out ok for you but last month the same thing happened to me, lines never got darker and then a few days later I had a chemical pregnancy and went back to negative. Just keep an eye. Praying you get better news than me. xx

Oh no that's what I'm worried about.
Although yesterday I got a negative on a cheapie and a positive today. What day did you get a positive from? How many days after your period? And how quickly did it fade ?

I wouldn't worry about the colour of the lines. Try to relax, take right supplements and test again in the beginning of next week. Good luck! Smile

I got a positive from 10dpo until 17dpo then I started bleeding 19dpo (6 days after my period was due) the lines never matched the control line and we're always faint. Fingers crossed for you, I really hope it's not that xx

Hopefully it's not that . I didn't get a positive till 2 days after my missed period. They were all negative earlier on. Hopefully they get stronger 🙏
I even did a cheap one yesterday that was negative and positive today and that is less sensitive. Time will tell I suppose. I'm sure by Sunday I will know for sure either way.

Maybe you just implanted late, you might be ok!! 🙏

MrsSkylerWhite · 12/10/2023 11:16

Yep 😃

Rachaelrachael · 12/10/2023 11:22

This happened to me, tried for 2 years then did IVF for 1st baby. 2nd baby fell pregnant on the 1st try! Never been so shocked in all my life!
Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed that your lines progress!

Really? Did they ever get darker at all? Just worried mine are getting more faint

@Swirls346 i wouldn’t worry too much this early on! I’ve now taken 5 tests and you can see that the line is getting darker but actually from day 1 (11dpo) to day 2 (12dpo) of testing the line got fainter. Now at 15dpo it’s a strong line. I think that early on, what time of day you test makes a huge diff as hcg levels are low. Got everything crossed for you!

Is this positive ?
Swirls346 · 12/10/2023 16:58

Not sure if this even matters but this is how the tests look now. Left one is this AM. Still no sign of AF. Will test again Saturday now I think

Mine was extremely faint on this brand of test and I'm 16dpo now
But up until today these tests were all negative for me. Xxx

@Swirls346 mine were faint on the easy@home compared to the other tests I did (Boots, FRER) as well. Yours will likely catch up over the next few days, you probably just implanted a couple of days later that’s all! :)

Alloveragain3 · 12/10/2023 17:26

My first wee of the day test was always lightest and I panicked so much about this.
I had a few days where my test was lighter than the day before.

However, all was fine and I'm now 36 weeks. These tests can vary greatly.

I have my fingers crossed OP!

Misspacorabanne · 12/10/2023 17:27

They look very positive ok. I’ll keep fingers crossed for good news on Saturday when you retest!

Did you use the same urine for the digital?! I had a negative digital and positive cheapies for days!

I used todays first morning urine for this digital. Not done any other tests. It's the weeks indicator one.

LikeABanana · 13/10/2023 06:42

You are pregnant.

Digital need a much higher hcg count to get a positive, so will read not pregnant when you're getting + dye tests.

You'll always get a + on pink dye first.

Do another digital in 48 hours. I bet you anything it's positive.

All those test lines look great!

Be patient.

NCgoingdry · 13/10/2023 06:45

I got a negative digi after positive pink dyes and she's nearly 3 now.

LikeABanana · 13/10/2023 06:45

Do a quick Google search and you'll see loads of women have good lines but negative digital at first.

Is this positive ?
buckingmad · 13/10/2023 06:45

Was it an early digital test or the normal one? Normal one needs a higher hcg level.

FlamingoFloss · 13/10/2023 06:53

Don’t lose hope just yet xx
