Pregnancy test confusion HELP

Morning ladies

I'm now 11dpo I have tested everyday all week because I'm crazy and got faint positives on all with the pink lines

Last night I tested with a test with the blue lines and it looked SO much fainter!
I am now sat at work being a nervous wreck but the question is would you say pink dye tests look darker than blue ones?? The blue ones seem to me not to grab as much early on... I personally prefer pink ones

I'm just looking for some reassurence Sad

Thanks in advance girls xxxxxFlowers

hi - i understand the worry. Don't go by the progression lines on tests. They all have differing amounts of dye and red dye tends to be much more reliable for early testing than blue dye (although the Americans are getting some horrible evaps on some of their tests at the moment... it doesn't seem to have spread over here so far). If i were you i'd get a First Response Early Result test which should show up a line and then test again the day after your period is due with another one. You'll have a better idea of where you stand then. Hopefully that helps!

Thankyou for your reply that helps
I think the blue ones are lighter in colour in early pregnancy really don't like them thanks for your help xx

I think they use a less high quality dye - if you go blue go branded :)

I've attached my Frer progression from 9DPO to 14DPO here for you to see. I don't advise going quite this nuts though!
