11DPO positive - but concerned

[JDecember21]

Hi all just looking for some advice really feeling very anxious. Yesterday at only 10dpo I got 4 positive tests including one clear blue digital it said Pregnant 1-2 weeks.

then this morning I took a pregnancy test that was extremely cheap (pack of 3) with only a 20ml HCG sensitivity and the line was BARELY visable. This was with first morning urine! So I instantly thought I was having a chemical.

i went to the shop and got a more sensitive clear blue test. And it’s come back positive straight away - but in your opinion is the line colour ok for 11dpo?

As getting mixed signals on the cheap tests - not sure if I should be concerned. A doctor won’t see me will they?

thanks Jess

A beautiful line for 11dpo x

That’s a great line so I reckon the cheap tests just aren’t as sensitive

Thank you so much xx means the world. Feel like I’m going insane with worry sometimes

Thank you so much!! Yes I think so too. They were 20ml and the clear blue is 10ml. Also I may have diluted it with water perhaps. Not going to use them again xxx

I have my own thread worrying about my line progression so totally get the worries! Feels so uncertain doesn’t it! But congrats!

The cheap tests are nowhere near as sensitive, so very, very normal for them to show up fainter than a sensitive test. Your lines look just as I'd expect them to :)

Ah bless you!! Yes - this is the first time in my life I’ve had a BFP and been trying for 7/8 months so I’m still in disbelief and just very apprehensive because I wasn’t expecting it at 10dpo! Trying to stay positive - I think that’s the best both of us can do and just keep optimistic 🩷 sending love xx

That is so helpful thank you so much xx

Hi ladies just an update. 12DPO now and FMU My clear blue has darkened. See pic below….
cheapy tests still positive, very faint thick pink lines, but not much change in darkening. They are 20ml hcg and the Clear blue is 10ml, trying not to worry as have allll the symptoms. Nipples are on FIRE. Exhaustion and feel full/pressure sensation in uterus and constantly needing wee. Keeping all my fingers crossed.

This line on clear blue also came up instantly.

You'll be fine babe, I was exact same, I am currently 18dpo and my cheapies didn't darken till 16dpo. Your clearblue is a great strong line 😊 x

Honestly that helps me more than you know xx thank you!!!

ive not been allowing myself to get hopes up incase something happens but the odds are in our favour! Xx

Update ! The cheapy darkened today too.. positive sign x excuse my rented house’s awful window sill hahaha

Congratulations 😊 the line progression thing is a bit of a head funk, I didn't even get a positive until AF was 2 days late with my wee girl and she's 7 now. You're definitely pregnant!

@JDecember21 yours look similar to mine! But mine don't seem to be getting darker 😅 I don't know if those clear blue ones really do much darker?

I got a 2-3 on a digital today!

Best of luck with your pregnancy! When's your due date?

Thanks so much lovely! Amazing x

Yes they do look similar !!! Yours look really positive and clear :) congrats!!! I think hcg only doubles every 48 hours … I’m due potentially 21st July 2025 if I have my dates right!! You? Congrats to you too. All feels very odd for me right now xx

Selling up slow how are you getting on?
i’m technically 4 weeks today. Darker test this morning on the cheap 25ml hcg.

having alll the symptoms and really struggling to sleep which is not like me!! X

Sorry forgot to tag you @sellingupslow :)

@JDecember21 that's a lovely looking line!!

I’m doing good thank you! I'm feeling fine physically but really anxious all the time worrying something isn't right. I'm 4+3 today!

I have a scan booked for December 1 to check for a heartbeat and bloods to check gender 🥹

How are you feeling?

@sellingupslow thank you! Oh I’m exactly the same- 4 weeks today and non stop worrying the exact same. Keep feeling like the pregnancy is fake 😂

i’m going to book an early reassurance scan 3rd December!! Hopefully that’ll put our mind at ease but it’s so hard isn’t it!! X

We can try keep each other sane during that time 😅

Have you had any symptoms?

Hello! I am also 4 weeks today and (if all continues to go well) book a scan for the end of the first week of December. Who knows how I will hold on until then though, it feels so far away… I have some very light cramps and back ache every now and again, I go through some times of the day feeling nauseous and then it goes away again (I thought it was too early for that!) my boobs are a bit sore but that’s on and off too. So ridiculously anxious

@Brownbottle Welcome to the club 😅

I have no symptoms at all apart from occasionally having the tiniest tender boobs so I'm panicking and my pregnancy tests are also making me think somethings wrong.

They are dark but I don't know they just don't seem to be getting much darker!

From what I’ve read it’s so early that having no symptoms is very normal! I kept squeezing my boobs where they were half sore half not to see if they were, I did it once in the street and a man saw

Ive been worried about the lines on my pregnancy tests too as they weren’t really getting darker. However I had a dark one on first response one yesterday and I’m trying to leave it at that, as everyone says they’re not designed to judge line progression so they won’t necessarily be accurate. Gahhhhh

@sellingupslow indeed! Honestly I’m quite shocked at how anxious I’ve been because I thought I would be over the moon to just get a positive test which I am but I feel the anxiety deffo takes over!! But I’ve decided I’m going to test once more tomorrow and then if all is good I’m definitely going to stop testing.

my symptoms are mainly - constantly feeling conscious of my bladder area, kind of feeling like I could go for a wee if I needed to at any time, tiredness, sore nips and a bit of an upset stomach of and I can smell everything!!! What about you?
