Tests getting lighter

Hi has anyone got any advice? I did a dip test a few days ago and got a super light positive. Then I got a clear blue digital but that said not pregnant. Realised just how unreliable they are especially if you’re early and got clear blue stick and first response. I’ll attach a photo below. Order from top is 2 days ago, then clear blue yesterday now first response today. All but the first is with morning urine. You can’t really see the bottom one on a photo but there is a really faint line still. Has this happened and anyone is still pregnant. This is my first ever positive and I’m hoping that doesn’t change! Also I am two days late which is my only pregnancy symptom. Wondering if I’ve ovulated later than I though meaning I’m earlier than I think which is why the tests are so up and down.

I didn’t want to read and not reply as I know your emotions will be all over the place. I had a chemical pregnancy a few weeks ago whereby the tests got lighter. However you need to be consistent with when you test especially so early. I always got much stronger positives in the evening as my FMU didn’t seem to pick them up.
If you did the one today with FMU try that again tomorrow and compare. Or later on in the day and compare it to the first. At this moment you’re pregnant, try and relax (easy me saying) . I have read that a line is a line and they are not there to show how a pregnancy is progressing and shouldn’t be relied upon.
it’s the worst waiting game ever and sending you lots of sticky baby dust x

I had a CP at the beginning of last month and I used easy at home pregnancy tests to determine the line progression with FMU/SMU. In your case, it is still too early to tell. Try using the easy at home strips for the next few days to see if it gets darker and hopefully this will not be a CP!

Thank you so much, my minds in overdrive currently and trying the take the what will be will be approach. At the moment you are right, I am pregnant and fingers crossed this remains the same!

I found FMU less dark so try SMU from now on and then compare. Also 2 days would be best because you won’t see much of a difference in 24 hrs and it’ll worry you more.

Unfortunately woke up this morning to AF. Looks like this one wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for you’re advice ❤️

I am sorry to hear it! However you can start trying immediately as soon as you finish bleeding. Some people will conceive really fast but some don't. I am on CD15 of the second cycle after CP and my body is back to normal. Your body might recover faster than you think!

I am sorry to hear this. Sending lots of love x
