Is this test too light?

Hi, so my period is around 3 days late and this is my test this evening. Is it too light? I’m worried about a chemical pregnancy and expected it to be darker now. I am unsure when I ovulated but I know it was after the 24th May as I was still testing negative that morning and then went away so didn’t continue testing.

Any advice welcome!

It probably depends on the type of test, plus you’ve done it in the evening so this might have an effect. I’d wait 48 hours and do another then.

with my first on some tests I had really faint lines and on others they were darker, I wouldn’t read into it too much at this stage Smile xx

PS it’s a good sign I didn’t even need to make the picture bigger to see the line so it’s not a particularly faint one!

Congrats xx

Thank you for your reply! It was a 25 mIU/ml sensitivity test

It looks promising to me. If you were negative on ovulation tests on the 24th you won’t have ovulated until AT LEAST 26th May (since ovulation is 24-36 hrs after peak ovulation test). So when you took this test you’d have been NO LATER THAN 15DPO. I’d say that’s ok for 15dpo on a less sensitive test, got my fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated!

Thank you! That is reassuring! I did a clear blue rapid detection test today and got this line.

Thinking I could be having a chemical as clear blue weeks indicator is only saying 1-2 weeks :( would be expecting 2-3 by now
