Help please 🙏 going mad here!

I think I already know the answer. I don’t think this is going to end well.

Top test is 16dpo. Bottom test is todays, I am now 20dpo. It seems like the control line has gotten darker again, rather than continuing to get lighter. Any advice? Or experiences?

I don’t understand why you are concerned about the control line?

The test lines on both are incredibly strong, that’s what matters.

The tests are very strong, probably best to stop testing. Good luck.

They look fine to me honestly.

Stop testing. You’ve got a dye stealer and it doesn’t matter how much dye is left in the control line that will vary. You’re pregnant and it’s strong. If you were having a chemical it would get fainter a lot quicker than that.

Thank you so much for all your input. I really thought that the control line had to keep getting lighter for a successful outcome. Maybe I will stop testing now. It’s so hard though.

Yes I think you need to stop testing and driving yourself berserk. It all looks good!

@Clueless492 I know it’s hard, I tested until I was 22dpo as had 2 chemicals before but I know it wasn’t really helping. I stopped the frers after taking the 2 in the pack though at 14dpo and 18dpo. I then did a digital at 22dpo but then I stopped. I would go crazy if not

Awwww, it is hard. There isn't the exact same amount of dye in the tests though, plus how diluted your urine etc it. Lots of variables. But I wouldn't worry with those lines. ❤

Ah stop! Pregnancy tests are not designed for this. You have very strong positives. Step away from the tests.

Unless the line is disappearing, it doesn't really make a difference. My FRER was rather light this go around and I'm 8 weeks with twins at the moment.

@Clueless492 google the hook effect, same thing happened to me and I had a sad day thinking it was all going away til I read about the hook effect and diluted my urine, low and behold a dye stealer with a barely visible control line again! Time to stop using HPTs though as your hcg is too high for them and line progression isn't possible anymore.

Stop testing x

Pregnancy tests give yes or no answers. You’re pregnant, congratulations.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to comment. I had my HGC tested yesterday and it came back at 2185. So a 39 hour doubling time. So you were all right and I should definitely stop testing now because it’s not worth the stress. Xx
