Digital test says Yes + but FRER barely has a line?

[Julier09]

I might be overthinking this but I just need input... I'm 12dpo and yesterday my FRER and premom tests had very faint positive lines. Today I took the same tests and the lines are not at all darker, they are still incredibly faint. However, I decided to also use a first response digital test and got Yes + !!!

So I am pregnant, right?? Is it normal to have digital clearly say positive when the line tests are barely visible? Should I be concerned that the lines are 12dpo are not darker than 11dpo? Am I being crazy?

My first positive was so faint my partner couldn't see it so i bought the clearblue digital and said pregnant pretty quickly, im now 15 weeks, id go with the assumption you're pregnant, congratulations!

@Julier09 If the HCG levels are still too low, you may not get a clear progression now, but keep testing and you should see the test line getting darker day by day. Congrats!

Congratulations!
When I had my first positive, the IC was barely visible (questionable whether there was a line) but got a vvvvvvf on FrER. This was at 9dpo. The next day FRER was still vvvvvf but 1-2 week on digital.

This is completely normal. Your HCG levels so early are incredibly low so even when they double every 48-72 hours it's not a very big increase and won't show that much darker day to day to start with. Also with such low levels it's really easy for other factors to affect the HCG concentration in the result e.g. how hydrated you are. Factor in that different tests (even from the same batch) may show a slightly different result anyway and you've got nothing to worry about. In a few days/a week you should be able to see a more definite change but remember everyone is different and every PG is different so you may see progression at a different rate to other people.

Don't fall in to the line progression obsession trap.
A positive is a positive. If you must retest do it after a few days or a week. I did weekly until 6 weeks then no more as I've had several chemicals so only consider myself really pregnant from 6wk.

Pregnancy tests are designed to detect pregnancy - a line is a line. It's detecting Hcg and so you are pregnant.

They aren't designed to detect pregnancy progression or health, so while some people do find comfort in doing multiple pregnancy tests and comparing lines etc, this isn't really based on anything - it's ok (and normal) to do one test, see that you're pregnant and then that's it until a scan (or sadly if things don't work out).

When you see the doctor or midwife they won't be asking you about the colour of your test.

Congratulations!

Thank you everyone. My husband has taken my tests away because I was absolutely losing it and causing so much anxiety. I tested one last time yesterday at 13dpo and it was darker and im calling my doctor today so no need for me to obsess over line colors anymore. I was driving myself mad with this forum by looking at everyone's line progressions and chemical pregnancies etc. I'm assuming I'm pregnant until told otherwise and whatever happens, happens. Peeing on a stick can't prevent a loss. Back to sanity I go! Thanks :)
