Dye stealer getting lighter?

[lockdownbabyx]

I know I know I need to stop doing tests... I did my last one this morning 😂. I knew I was having a chemical last month before I even bled because I did tests everyday and they were getting lighter and lighter. So for me, I'd rather know ASAP rather than being caught or guard by a big bleed.

Newly oregano again and I'm now 4+3. I got a dye stealer at 15dpo, I'm now 17dpo and it looks to me like it's getting lighter 😔 can you all see it too?

Stop with the daily testing.
The colour of the line means very little, if you must test do it at 3 or 7 day intervals.
A positive is a positive so think positive about the pregnancy. Congrats and good luck.

You must stop testing. You will drive yourself mad !

You clearly have very strong positives. Trust the result. Unfortunately you can’t prevent a chemical or a miscarriage at a later gestation.

You need to stop.
There's barely a difference if any at all.
Many things can cause it to go slightly lighter.
Simple things like being more hydrated than the day before. Anything.

@lockdownbabyx I honestly can't see that that's getting lighter. It's still a strong dye stealer! Also there's only so much dye it can steal, it can't possibly keep getting darker, and there are so many variables, like how much you've had to drink etc. It's a very strong positive, I would put away the tests now x

The pregnant line is stronger with each test. I’m not sure why the control line is a little lighter more recently, different batch perhaps. But there’s nothing concerning at all about that pregnant line!

You need to stop with the tests as you are sucking all the joy out of what should be a happy time for you. You can't prevent a chemical, an early or late miscarriage. Instead take each day as it comes and instead of sending anxiety towards your baby choose to be upbeat and positive .you are pregnant today there is no reason why you wonemt be tomorrow as far as you know so focus on that.

• won't be

They look darker if anything. Please stop testing, you'll cause yourself so much worry. Congratulations!

I tested up to like 5 weeks and drove myself absolutely insane. I bought my first response on Amazon and found some were lighter for no reason at all. I’m now 16 weeks and all is fine. If future me could go back and say one thing it would be stop testing. Also your test doesn’t look lighter to me and also remember you are comparing a dried test to a ehm ‘fresh’ test 🙈

Haha thank you all! I know I shouldn't have kept testing. This is my 4th pregnancy and I'm yet to have a successful one, so sadly I don't think I will ever enjoy the first few weeks of pregnancy, as much as id love to. I also started spotting a couple of days ago so I'm very anxious anyway. I had my bloods done yesterday and then having them re done tomorrow. So time will tell I suppose x

Any update here?!

Sorry only just seen this! Actually had a scan today, 9+6 and everything is perfect 🥰 x
