17dpo- IC very faint (and getting fainter?) but clear FRER?

I’m driving myself crazy here.

Which I know is useless cause there is absolutely nothing that can change the outcome and nobody can tell me what the outcome will be…. But still….

I tested at 15dpo on a IC and got a faint but definitely there line. I tested at 16dpo and still faint and then this morning at 17dpo and its there but looks even fainter. However I also did a FRER this morning and it looks pretty strong to me?

Are my IC just a complete load of rubbish? (Femometer) Or should I prepare myself for a chemical? (Which is what I have pretty much decided is happening)

Would really appreciate your experiences and opinions.

Thank you xx

Internet cheapies are the worst. My ones didn’t even give me a good line until I’d had positives for 4-6 weeks 😔

Thank you so much for your replies xx

I’ve decided I’m gunna have a few days away from the tests and just hope for the best when I retest probably on Monday (if I don’t come on before then).

I got my first faint line on a cheapy very early on (maybe 11/12dpo?) and then the next 5 days were stark negatives. I was convinced it was another loss but my Frer was positive and showing a good line progression. I never believed people when they told me they were utter crap.. but turns out they are! I’m now 29 weeks pregnant.

Just thought I’d update this thread for anyone frantically googling like I was although not good news unfortunately as I have just started bleeding.

Not our month :(

So sorry about the bleeding. Have you phoned EPU to see if they can offer you a scan to confirm?
