Chemical pregnancy?

Top 2 tests - 10dpo
3rd - 11dpo
4th - 12dpo
5th - 13dpo (today)

Hi everyone,
Today’s test is fainter than yesterday’s. I did the test at 1pm instead of my first morning wee, and drank a load of water before hand. Is this possibly the reason for it being a bit fainter? Has anyone had tests like this and then it’s turned to a chemical pregnancy?

Stop testing. There are tonnes of reasons an individual test could be lighter. I'm sure we'd all love it if these tests can tell us a pregnancy is viable or not, but it's just not how they work.

You're pregnant today. That's all these tests tell you.

Congrats!

It's probably down to the morning wee not being used... This would impact it so early... I'd make sure the next one you do is first morning urine

My early tests were all over the place. There was some 'line progression' but its not always as straightforward as you may assume. I would be worried if the test seemed lighter than the day before and I was forever comparing the pictures on apps etc etc
I look back now and cringe at the money I wasted.

BTW, my son is 9 months now so I guess all was well!
Try to enjoy your pregnancy and congratulations.

Aww thank you'd everyone for your responses. I think I'll test again tomorrow morning with my first wee, and then no more testing!

The bottom one is this morning and the darkest line out of all of them.. I will stop stressing myself out now and stop testing! Thank you everyone x

Pregnancy tests really aren't designed for line progression use so people shouldn't use them in this way, I see so many women on here getting stressed when there is no need to. Hcg tests are simply designed to give a line or no line. Please stop testing, different batches of tests can throw out paler or darker lines and how concentrated your wee is will affect it too, so as someone else said your pregnant today, please stop stressing Smile x

@sarahc336 yes you are right, thank you 😊x
