Are these good progression lines??

Hi Ladies, would you say these are good progression lines? I would have hoped for the test line to be as dark as the control line by now. I'm 15 DPO.

Weirdly, my tests come back darker in the afternoon. I tested using FMU this morning and it was lighter, scared me to death! Did a test at 4pm and its darker (as per the photos) so I'll only test in the afternoon now.

This is my 4th pregnancy, sadly the previous 3 all ended in miscarriage so sorry if I'm coming across extra nervous or neurotic!

Looks good to me! Smile
Tbh, with both my LO's I never tested in the morning, I found out super early with both of them and it was evening time when I tested.
Congrats! Grin

Thank you for replying 🥰

Strange isn't it as FMU is supposed to be stronger 🤔

Can you remember how strong your test line was at 4 weeks preggo? Xx

First & second pregnancy... but even my fertility consultant was shocked at how strong my positives were haha

They look perfect for 15DPO to me. Think I was 26DPO before the line was as strong as the control line. I’m now 17 weeks and all is well

TTCnumberone · 26/07/2022 20:47

@GAW19 wow those are really strong!! 😍

@GAW19 Out of curiosity, can you remember what brand your tests were??

@TTCnumberone they were Asda I believe 😊 xx

I'm 4+5 today. No idea when I ovulated but I estimate I am 16 or 17dpo, and this is my line.
Only done the one test today.
I think your lines look good.

Whoatealltheminieggs · 27/07/2022 20:59

Yes they look good. Mine were still fairly light at 15dpo with my last baby.

TTCnumberone · 28/07/2022 16:26

Update: I'm 17 DPO today and my tests are considerably lighter, I did one with FMU and one this afternoon as this is what they are like, I've had 3 miscarriages, I don't think I can handle another one

Had bloods done at exactly 4 weeks they came back as 16.5, waiting for 2nd blood test results today.. 16.5 is so low I can't see this ending any other way 😪

I'm sorry OP. Do you have some real life support? Flowers

pinkpirlie · 29/07/2022 11:38

I'm so sorry to hear @TTCnumberone

I'm having the same experience so I completely empathise with how you're feeling.
It is so heartbreaking. Big hugs xxx

LittleLottle · 30/07/2022 17:36

Hope you're OK @TTCnumberone sending you love

GAW19 · 30/07/2022 17:48

Fingers crossed for you! 💜

TTCnumberone · 30/07/2022 18:14

2nd bloods came in at 14.5 and tests are getting lighter each day so I think this is it ladies. I have a scan at EPU on Thursday, no signs of bleeding or cramps yet though, hope it happens soon as every day feels like a lifetime right now x

pinkpirlie · 30/07/2022 19:23

So sorry to hear @TTCnumberone
My bleed started today at 5+1.
I feel slightly better now I'm out of limbo.
Speaking to the doctor on Monday.
Hope you get some answers from your scan.

TTCnumberone · 30/07/2022 19:46

@pinkpirlie so sorry to hear of your miscarriage, sending you lots of healing 💐

This is our 4th miscarriage, we have been investigated and we are unfortunately in the 0.5% who have unexplained recurrent miscarriage.

I hope you get some answers soon xx
