Are these lines too faint for 15 dpo?

I’m currently 15 dpo ttc #1. I first tested at 12 dpo and have had gradual progression since then with the FRER sticks. I believe im 15dpo today but I don’t feel like my easy @ home sticks are progressing much.. do these look too faint for 15 dpo? I’m trying to prepare myself for a CP as a lot of the tests I’ve seen online for around now look much darker than mine seem to be! I’ve also experienced a fair amount of cramping for the past week so that has me nervous too! I’m very new to the ttc club so any advice would be huuugely appreciated :)
thanks!

I have found you post so reassuring!
I am DPO12 & BFN
No symptoms not even PMS today or yday just weeing more in the day/night.
tiny cramps lower a tummy today/yday.
using the easy at home kits.

AF due 2-5days according to Flo.

congratulations!!!✨✨✨✨
Very late lines, you must have implantated later, any symptoms? Xx

It’s fine, it’s progression that you are looking for , you won’t know your exact ovulation date even if you were using ovulation tests.

@SCK2024 wow this is exactly how I felt at 12dpo!! My first FRER positive was the following morning, I had lower tummy cramps, crazy bloating and I haven’t stopped peeing for the past 3 days! I’ve been absolutely starving this week too and all these symptoms are really unusual for me, not like PMS symptoms at all!
I will keep you updated with my progression as we seem to be on a similar timeline! Hopefully it’s great news for us both 😁 I do feel a bit nervous about the fact they are quite light at this stage and have had someone told me I should be worried so that’s freaked me out a bit 😩 x

@DragonFly98 Thank you, I really appreciate this I’ve been spiralling all day! Would you recommend sticking to a particular brand rather than using the cheap strips?

I find FRER to be the best once you have a positive to track progression. I have had quite a few pregnancies and they are the most reliable.

There's definitely progression so I wouldn't worry! Everyone's lines are different depending on when implantation happens (anywhere between 6-12dpo) and also on levels of HCG which can vary massively. You are definitely pregnant so try not to stress and definitely stick to one brand. If it makes you feel any better, with my successful pregnancy with my now 3YO my line on the cheap strips were a lot lighter than the FRER. Congratulations!!

i think the possibilities are that you you conceived at the tail end of your fertility week hense the late +
I don’t think you have any worries at all, no test can tell you the timeline of when and what time you actually implanted, your lines are progressing and that is all positive ✨🌸💝

I only have the cheapies at home, I can barely keep my eyes open after work at the minute, getting told off for falling alsleep during our series on Netflix 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Eatting loads more too, always pecking at something at work between meals, 🚽💦 lots more during the night. But that is all.
weird bloat but not bloated feeling too.
i don’t feel AF is on her way, my boobs are usually tender and heavy and I get irritable.

Trying not to test and wait till very least Tues/Weds when due on, but likely I’ll test in the morning 🫠😂

Keep me updated! ✨✨
