Tests getting no darker

[unluckyforsam]

I tested positive around Wednesday this week, most apps are showing me to be 4 weeks 3 days (hard to tell, as I haven't had a period since coming off the pill, but I had a positive ovulation test on 25/10)

Last night I had some faint brown spotting, not enough to be seen on my underwear but noticeable when wiping. Seems to have stopped today but my test seem to have stopped getting darker/might even be slightly lighter?

The top test here was taken on Wednesday (FMU) and the bottom was taken today (midday, ish).

I feel like I should start setting my expectations that this may not go the way I want?

I'm in the same boat too. Took 3 FRER since Wednesday and they haven't got any darker 😞 the lines are appearing within a minute but not progressing.
Not sure whether it's bad news or I ovulated later than I think.
Keeping my fingers crossed for us!

Just bumping this for any experiences people might be able to share

Hello. No advice I'm afraid, but I'm in a kind of odd situation too - had what I thought was a period. It was light but exactly on time. On a hunch, I took a pg test after the period ended, and it was a faint positive. BFPs since which aren't progressing much/are not nearly dark enough for when I think I ovulated.

Really sorry (and you probably already know this) but you'd definitely expect more progression than you're getting on those FRER.

I have a call with my Dr on Monday because I'm concerned it's ectopic. No specific ectopic symptoms, but I had a positive LH test on the 19th.

Will you call your Dr for blood tests, or will you wait and see what happens?

Best of luck!

Just an idea- the midday urine sample is usually more dilute than the first morning sample.. you would better test the first thing in the morning! Don't lose hopes yet, only an ultrasound would confirm the viability of the pregnancy.. all the best 🤗

Hi just jumping on how did you end up getting on? I’m the same at the minute . Lines aren’t getting darker so I’m worried

Unfortunately for me, I did end up with having a miscarriage confirmed yesterday (5 weeks, I believe) - however I did also have a fair amount of spotting and bleeding before it was confirmed via a blood test so it wasn't necessarily an issue just seen via the tests.

Praying and hoping for you to have a safe and successful pregnancy 💕

@unluckyforsam am so sorry to hear it ended that way 🥹 . I’ve bloods booked now for this morning I’m 13dp5dt so I haven’t had any bleeding not sure if it’s cause I’m still a bit early . I haven’t took any tests today I’m nearly scared to now x

Hello. Ahhh sorry to hear about that, how crap.

I'm awaiting results from the second test, having some spotting though. Still crapping my pants it might be ectopic because of occasional pain on my left urrkkkkk, I'm winding myself up over it.

I’m waiting on my blood results but I’m feeling really deflated about the whole thing . I haven’t bleed or anything yet so I’m nervous
