Pregnancy test confusing me

Hello

5 days ago I did a pregnancy test and the lines were dark.
Today morning I did a first response test after not using toilet for 8 hours and the line wasn't dark enough even though it appeared right away.
This afternoon I wanted to test again so I used clearblue and the test appeared clear positive straight away.
Im getting confused. i dont know what to think.

The FRER is a dye stealer. The dark like is the test line and the other is the control line. The higher the hcg gets on your body, the more the test line will steal due from the control line. It's a good sign ☺️

So many autocorrects in that ⬆️ I hope it makes sense lol

They each tell you that you are pregnant.
Thays it. You are pregnant,
What is it that confuses you?

the positive line gets darker as time goes on as you have more hcg present in your body.

Hello
Thank you all for your replies
I was confused coz 1 test is light and 1 test is dark both on the same day.

As someone else says, that isn't a light FRER... The test line is the one closest to the bit you pee on. So actually that's a HUGELY dark test line. So much so, that the dye is being removed from the control line to make the test line. Very positive tests, both of them. Congratulations!

Thank you Olivia199
Maybe I'm just stressing for nothing.

You're definitely positive!
For future reference, if you feel the need to compare tests it's best to do so with the same brand and type of test.

Congratulations x

It's very easily done! Rest assured that those tests look perfect. Got everything crossed for a happy, healthy 9 months for you!

For the first week of testing, my tests were faint in the early morning and dye stealers by night. Just depends on the hormone levels at certain times of the day - you are pregnant, congratulations.

Yep, definitely positive here too! My first was super faint during time frame but got dark enough to picture after.
