Clear blue dropped from 2-3 back to 1-2 but lines on FRER getting darker?

Help!

I did a clear blue in the afternoon a few days ago and it said 2-3 with a strong line on FRER.

I've just done another one as I'm up panicking with cramps and also did a FRER. CB digital is back to 1-2 but my FRER is darker (see second photo).

Should I be worried xx

Hey! Re do your clear blue first thing in the morning I think this is the only time it is accurate.
I am driving myself mad testing for dates ever couple of days after a previous MC there seems to be loads of threads on here saying how unreliable they are. As long as you had no bleeding and your test is positive your pregnant! It’s an expensive bad habit (I should take my own advice-haha) we both need to stop.

How id say if you retest tomorrow first thing you’ll be back to 2-3 weeks, presuming you are 2-3 weeks after ovulation.

Hey. I wouldn't rely on pregnancy tests if you have cramps/bleeding then visit your early pregnancy assessment unit for advice and to be examined x

Clear blue week indicators are notoriously unreliable, I wouldn't worry about this.

Your FRER test line is "stealing" dye from the control line which is a very strong positive.

@Jomum2020 thank you for your advice. I've had lots of miscarriages so I'm in anxiety mode right now. I can't take tests in the morning because they are so much lighter than in the afternoon, my doctor told me this can be normal and FMU isn't always best because of different circumstances like drinking in the night or getting up to use the toilet which I do, she also said that some women's HCG surges in the afternoon/evening.
I posted on here a while ago in a panic because my IC's weren't getting any darker in the morning then why I heard that from the doctor it all made sense. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I agree we both should stop testing for our sanity and for our bank accounts lol. Xxx

@kimadey thank you, I haven't had any bleeding, touch wood and the pain isn't unbearable just dull like a period paid but I seem to have woken up without them today so I think I will see how it goes. I have a scan at 6 weeks anyway because of my history xxx

@BertieBotts thank you, I think I need to take the dark line on the FRER as a good sign and try and stay calm xxx

Hey @ec1993!
Any updates...? How are you feeling?
I re did my clear blue (oops I know I shouldn’t have) finally have 3+ weeks on it! I’ve read a lot of threads from people sayinf they don’t get them till later on though.
I’m going to put down the pee sticks now and try to calm down.

Hey @Jomum2020 that's great news! Mine went back up to 2-3 and my FRER are still very strong so I'm going to just stop testing now. I'm driving myself insane! I'm glad you're well xxx
