Should I be worried with this lack of progression?

Literally what the title says.. I should I suppose be using the same brand to properly compare?

& I guess wait 48hr? What do you think?

It's very difficult to say with multiple brands as they all have different sensitivities.

I'd try to only compare the ones 48 hours apart and if you plan to test again, try FMU and then second morning urine after a few hours hold and nothing to drink between. My first pregnancy was a chemical and I drove myself mad this time around because my tests remained faint. I did one with SMU one day, can't remember why, and the difference was night and day. I only test with SMU now.

You're still early on, so I'd give it a day or two.

Unfortunately it does look like a chemical, there's no change between your 12 & 14dpo tests which isn't a good sign. I'm sorry OP, I had one a while ago and I know it's not nice. Agree with PP though, I only test with SMU too as that's the strongest for me.

I am surprised First Response ones are so light when CB is already showing pregnant. I would expect FR to be with dark line too by now. Good luck! 🤞🏼

Thank you, I've had a BETA HCG blood test done to find out once and for all as I'm driving myself insane. Some tests are faintly positive, then the ultra early digital is positive, then super faint again this morning and only really visible after the 3 minute time has passed.

Wish I'd tested SMU to be honest!

Exactly this! It's really odd, the CB digitals are 10mIU. I actually took one in the evening that day too and was 'pregnant' then the faintest FRER after.

I've not tested yet this morning, but did last night for a comparison and looked even fainter.

Again though, from advice I know it should be 2-3 day comparison

When are your periods due?

The FR is 6 & the CB is 10 I think so there's really not much in it. I don't think it looks promising OP, it should be at least double the strength by now so progression this slow/line so faint isn't a good sign. Sorry if I sound blunt, just from experience this is the case usually

Spot on had bloods drawn last night that came back 2.6miU and started bleeding today.

My first chemical pregnancy 😞

@UKMummy2one I'm really sorry, it's hard not to get your hopes up, I had an early miscarriage too & it hurts. You can start TTC again when you feel ready, wishing you all the bestFlowers
