Hi
I've just found out I'm pregnant- tested day before missed period and nothing. I spotted on the day of my period and assumed it was my period. Completely forgot about it and realised that I haven't had any bleed since so took a test yesterday. It was positive but faint. I took one this morning and it was positive but not as strong as my previous positive at the same week.

I've recently had 3 cp so I'm very worried this will be another.

Is this positive to light for 4 weeks and 2 days?

I’m not seeing any colour on either of those lines I’m afraid, and the CB line is too thin. A positive is generally as thick as the control line on a clear blue.
Grey lines are usually due to flooding the test.
Maybe try a digital, be careful not to splash over the end of the plastic cartridge or that can cause false positives on a digital too.
🤞🏻

I'm pregnant. I've taken way too much tests that are all showing positive and all pink or blue in colour. The lines are not getting darker. I'm worried it's heading towards another cp.

Could it just be your not as far a long as you think. The spotting could have been implantation and ovulation may have been a bit later.

Are they getting darker on any tests? Have you tried other brands

Lighter on another brand but I've never used them before so I'm not sure about them.

This was this morning with the same brand as above.

They are not as dark as they should be. I'm 5 weeks today.

I'm still in limbo land. Got an appointment booked for Friday. I'm praying I'm still pregnant by then.

I'm going by the conception day. Would that still matter if ovulation is later? X

You can’t really know the day you conceived unless you know when you ovulated surely? Sperm can live up to 5 days so if you had sex on Monday you could have conceived any day that week until Friday.

When was your last period?

1st of April and my peak was 14th April, also the last day we tried for this month. I did an ovulation strip and it was positive on the 14th

@RWSS you need to stick with using one brand to check progression. It wont work if switching between brands.
At 5 weeks, id definitely be expecting darker lines but its hard to say . Even tho you had a peak on 14th that doesn't mean you ovulated, sometimes your body attempts ovulation , fails then attempts a few days later again and sperm can live for 5 days . Conception doesnt take place until after the egg is released then takes around 6 days to travel through the tubes. Are you tracking with BBT to confirm your temperature rise after ovulation? Unless you using other methods of tracking its impossible to pinpoint when you conceived and you might not be just 5 weeks yet. Lines should be darkening every few days but you have to use the same tests.
I think at this point all you can do is ask for bloods on Friday to test your hcg
