Faint control line?

I just took this frer, the test line is really dark but the control line is much fainter - not sure whether to take it as a positive or not?
Anyone had any similar? Smile

It’s a strongly positive test - congratulations

That is a very strong positive. I'd say you were a few weeks along in your pregnancy. Congratulations!

That is a strong positive line but I'd be worried about the control line. Tentative congratulations but I'd do another to be on the safe side.

The further you get into pregnancy the weaker the control line gets and the stronger the test line becomes

Like others have said, the further along you get in your pregnancy - the stronger the result. In the end, it will end up "stealing" dye from the control line.

These were mine, which you can see eventually did the same thing on 17DPO.

Congratulations!

Thank you everyone!
I retested with a different brand, which gave another positive and a much better control line. I'm going to pick up a digital test to try tomorrow. Still in complete shock!!

Another very strong positive result there. I reckon you'd get a "Pregnant 3+ weeks" on a digital weeks test looking at those.

You were right @MarshmallowsOnToast Grin
I still can't believe it - we've been waiting on this for 9 long years!!
