Hi ladies please tell me your thoughts
i tested positive on Tuesday been testing everyday but tests not getting darker at all! Used three different brands now
On Tuesday I should of been 3 weeks 3 days so I should be 4 weeks today
my last period my 10th March and my cycles typically last 31 days
two photos are from Tuesday, and the test with PURPLE CAP is from TODAY! please let me know what you think.
My last pregnancy I also tested early and remember having much darker lines!

Do you know when you ovulated? My tests were light for a good 4-5 days before I noticed them getting visibly darker.

hey, I tested positive for ovulation on 21st of March. I stopped tracking it after I got that positive. I had sex on 18th and 26th so these are the only two options of when egg could have fertilised.
ill keep testing, but driving myself crazy here!

Pregnancy tests are really designed to say if you’re pregnant or not
not for the progression of the pregnancy

Hi lovely,
I'm really sorry but I used the same tests last cycle and I had a chemical where the lines stayed faint like this before disappearing completely at 5 days..,
This might not be the case for you but since you've asked I wanted to share my experience.
HCG doubled every 48 hours so there might still be a chance.
Now let me give you some hope.. as I said I had my chemical last cycle- tested faint faint positive and was 3 days late before my period arrived... my last period was 12/03 and this week I've tested positive on both strip tests and digitals.
Our cycles are similar so a sure way would be to see if you're testing positive on a digital test as your HCG should be high enough to detect as you're 2 days ahead of me.

Lots of luck xx

Okay I know but I have seen a lot of ladies on this site explaining they had a chemical and tests got lighter until negative.

Hello! Thank you for your lovely message. I was going to wait till next week to test on a digital as hoping I would get the 2-3 weeks. I will buy one on Monday!
today I am day 28 of my cycle. Usually cycle lasts 31 days so period should be due on Tuesday! I was going to wait till that passes to do a digital test. As my last pregnancy I tested before my period and when my period was suppose to be due I had a full on bleed which panicked me so much, I don’t want the digitalis to give me false hope!
thank you again & I hope everything goes well for you! Xx

I’d expect a bit darker at 14dpo
definitely positive though
can you get hold of a digital test?
