Faint test

Hi all,

I got a super faint line on a FRER yesterday morning. I'm not even sure whether it could be a positive or not. So I took another one this morning (thinking 24 hours later it's bound to be clearer) but it's still the same faint line as yesterday, maybe even fainter.

I know hcg levels double every 48-72hrs so I will test again in a couple of days. But does hcg levels change within a day? Should it have been more clearer this morning if I am pregnant?

Thanks Smile

Hi!

do you have any photos? Frer can be awful for having shadowy indents which really look like faint bfps. Do you have any other brands of test? X

Unfortunately not, my storage is too full on my phone 🙄 I was just confused about the research on when Hcg levels increase; I'm just being impatient, I know I just need to wait a couple of days but it's so hard!

It’s frustrating waiting, if you can I’d get a digital, if it’s picking up on the frer I think it’s likely to pick up on an early digital x

FRERs are so unreliable. Get easy at home on Amazon.

This is as good as I can on my iPad. Bad quality. (This faint line showed up within the time frame, I took it apart to get a clearer picture). A big part of me is thinking it's just an indent line. 😩

I had a super faint line with my son that turned clearer two days later. So I'm not a strange to these faint line FRER's but it was almost 4 years ago so I can't remember exactly what it looked like!

This is yesterdays test. But obviously has been sitting for 24hrs so way out of the 5 minute window now 😂

I just took this picture now. Obviously they're now all out the 'window' but the bottom two test faint lines did show up straight away. The top test is a negative one from a few weeks ago. So the top negative compared to the two faint lines are so different. It's making me think that these two could be early positives but maybe FRER are just bad for indent lines, idk.

I can see those. Mine was always really faint; my youngest "faint line" is now 4! I'd say Congratulations, put the tests away and stop eating soft cheese tbh unless your body gives you reason to worry.
