Is this a chemical?

[Summerloving17]

Hi ladies after an ectopic and miscarriage at 9 weeks in jan, I’m super paranoid! I’m 8dp5dt and been getting increasingly darker lines on frer since 3dp5dt. Today my line looks the same as yesterday and tested again at 10am and looks lighter (although had drunk 1litre 2 hours beforehand).
What do you think? I am driving myself crazy!!

You are driving yourself crazy. The darkness of the line will vary a bit during the day, and from day to day, without it meaning anything much. Step away from the tests for at least a few days. I know you're feeling really paranoid about this, but I promise that no matter how many sticks you wee on it will make absolutely no difference to what's going on in your uterus. And FRERs are crazy expensive!

Congratulations on your pregnancy, take care and all the best!

Hi @summerloving17, congrats on your bfp! I recognise your name and think I may have been on a cycle thread with you at some point last year.

Yes, you are going to drive yourself crazy! You have a picture of 3 very strong looking positives. If you feel you can’t stop testing completely, I would suggest you do a clear blue digital to get your result in weeks. You could then do one over a week later and hope to see the progression in weeks? I did this and it helped me (a bit!)

I hope this is it for you. X

Thankyou both so much! I will step away from the tests for now and hope for the best x
