So I'm stressing over this so so much! So I did a pregnancy test yesterday morning a FR and it came back postive as hell and then did clear blue and came back postive 1-2 weeks, did both again this morning and came back same but FR was a little darker! Just been shop and brought a cheap one and it's come back postive but the line isn't as dark as the other ones 😬 what should I do?

congratulations - you dont need to do anything, totally normal for the cheaper one to appear fainter. this is why first response is more expensive as they are more sensitive then the cheaper ones

Don't compare test between them. Every test has a different sensitivity and some cheap ones will always have quite faint lines.

You can compare FRER with FRER, Clearblue with Clearblue, cheapie with the same cheapie, otherwise it might stress you for no reason.

It looks like you're definitely pregnant. Had Clearblue and first response confirm so, both of these are really reliable tests. Congratulations!

Step away from the pee sticks, they're all positive, congratulations. Some tests are more sensitive than others so the lines will look different.

Strength of lines doesn't mean anything unless you're right on the cusp of triggering it generally.

Relax, step away from the tests! You could be drinking more throughout the day, more diluted urine - etc. You’re fine. If you’re worried test again every few days but not every day like you’re doing.

I really hope so! I'm so confused as I didn't find out till I was 4 months gone with my first so this is all new to me 😂
