Two decent lines on FRERs but nothing on ICs?

My cycle lengths vary a lot so not sure on ovulation date, but CD1 was 30/03.

I got these lines on FRERs on Tuesday and Wednesday (so CD30 and 31 respectively), appreciate they’re not dye stealers but I thought fairly definitive. However, I’m still getting very faint squinters on ICs. With previous successful pregnancies (haven’t had a loss before) I’ve been able to move from FRERs to ICs and just chart progression from there.

Any ideas? I’m worried about a chemical. Have another pair of FRERs turning up today and going to resist the urge to test today - I’m hoping I get a strong line that puts me at ease tomorrow AM but in the meantime I’m going mad..

Frer are a lot more sensitive and reliable then the internet cheaper. These test look really good so far and I wouldnt think you would need to keep testing from here. You could see your gp about have blood tests to see where your hcg level is and then another to make sure its increasing correctly. Congratulations .

Sadly I think my suspicions about a chemical are bearing out - here’s today’s test next to those two. CD35 now so would be a blazing positive at this stage. Bit gutted.

Clearer photo - there is a line but it’s weak and much fainter than the previous tests. Would be 5w today.

If anyone has any experience with this (when I can expect to bleed etc), very welcome. Still feel super pregnant which just feels really sad now.
