Am I having a chemical?

So, after second FET, my OTD was Friday 9th. I took a test 5.50am and have a BFP - it's the clear blue test.

ive been so anxious about miscarriage that I thought I'd put my mind at ease by taking another test today - easy @ home test attached. But is this really faint? It was not FMU, I've had 2 cups of tea and glass of water, so could I just be diluted? And at least 3 wees already today.

edited to add today I should be 4 weeks 3 days

Hey op, hope you are ok.

So I have been testing my line progression with easy at home tests and in my experience they take a lot longer to get darker.

The bottom first response is 11dpo and top is 15dpo (so much darker)

The bottom easy at home is also 15dpo and amazon reviews note the easy@home are slow in line progression.

Ive kept testing and am now 5 weeks 4 days and my easy@home pregnancy line is darker than the control line and I got my 3 plus with clearblue digital today.

Thank you, that's a little more reassuring. I think it was really stupid of me to do one today on a whim, with 3rd or 4th wee of the day after drinking lots. Surely if I'd have done it first thing this morning it would have been darker?! 🤞

I completely understand as I had a previous mc and my anxiety is strong.

If you have more strips, I suggest testing again in a few days with first morning urine as you should notice a difference.

You can't compare with different tests. Re-test in 48 hours with the same tests to see if it's darker and best to use FMU or hold for few hours.

Not a faint test at all on the easy at home, think you’re worrying for no reason looks good

Thanks for your replies. - really appreciate it. I think it's just going to be a pregnancy full of anxiety and I need to chill. It's all out my control anyway!

It's tough, 5mc between my babies, the anxiety was awful.
My easy at home tests were faint until about 18xpo, yours look absolutely fine. Don't use these every day, you won't notice any difference between them and it's just another thing to worry about.
