Digital needs higher levels of HCG how DPO are you?

The cheap internet ones told me I was pregnant about 5 days before first response could.
Any kind of faint line is pregnancy.

Thanks for you reply’s. Well I got a positive on ovulation Test on the 1st July? So 15 days since that but I appreciate you don’t ovulate when you get the positive so maybe few days later. So maybe I’m 13 days DPO? Xx

I’m just worrying the faint line isn’t a good sign 😞. Xx

Regarding the ovulation test: I've also been tracking mine with an app, and when I have two days with positive ovulation tests, it takes the last one as the ovulation day (or the peak of LH hormone that will make you ovulate a few hours later). So, maybe your ovulation wasn't on the 1st.
I have not much experience with pregnancy tests, but some people take a picture and change the saturation to see the line better. In theory, if there's a line, there's hormone!
Time will tell...good luck!

Should be a paper clip to add pics on. Unless you're a new poster then there isn't one

So re tested today. Clear blue says pregnant 1-2 but cheapo still isn’t any darker. Should I be worried it’s still only faint?

Congrats! No I wouldn’t worry as ur hcg is obviously Increasing considering it’s was a negative on the digital a few days ago and now it positive. Any line is a positive. Relax and enjoy ur pregnancy xx

Congratulations!
Maybe out of curiosity, you could experiment with the cheaper tests and see when the line gets darker...or if it gets darker at all.
Enjoy being pregnant!

Ive used plenty of the cheapie test strips in my time and some just stay faint no matter how far along you are. A line is a line, especially in these very early days. Your body doesn’t produce the hcg hormone unless you’re pregnant.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Yes you are pregnant.
