How dark was your pregnancy test at 4 weeks?

[Francescarae]

I had a frozen embryo transfer 12 days ago, so I am currently 4 weeks 3 days, I tested yesterday and I was shocked at how dark the test lines are.

I had an IVF pregnancy last year and sadly had a missed miscarriage, the test line last time was so faint that you could hardly see it and I didn’t get lines this strong until I was 7 weeks.

is this normal to have strong lines and how dark were yours?

thanks x

I tested just after missing a period and mine was like this, I'm now 14 weeks

Congratulations

Okay that makes me feel better thank you and congratulations to you too x

I’m 4+2 and mine are this dark. Take it as a good sign! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

okay I will definitely take it as a good sign, last time it was so faint at this point I’m happy it’s definitely viable.

im 4 weeks 4 days, how are you feeling? X

Mine were this dark when I was just under 4 weeks! I'm now 8 weeks 3 days.
Congratulations!❤

Were they? Wow mine must of just been faint last time, it’s reassuring I suppose isn’t it.

i tested again this morning and it was even darker! Think im gonna stop testing now.

thank you I’m so happy! Congratulations to you too x

Really dark, and the Clearblue date indicator tests said 3+ weeks. I’m 15 weeks now with a seemingly healthy singleton pregnancy.

Really wow! I was gonna do a digital but maybe I don’t need to. Last time I had to keep testing for ages for the lines to get darker. Maybe every pregnancy is different and just carried different HCG levels.

that’s reassuring that you only have a singleton pregnancy, I’m a twin and my partner and his sister keep joking that I’m having twins and I would much rather have one as I know the complication risks are higher with twins. X

Hello @Francescarae I dug out my test if the same brand from 13 DPO and they look pretty similar!

I'm 19 weeks now. Congratulations!

Thanks that’s so helpful, yes looks really similar to mine and the same brand.

i used this brand last time at the same amount of days and it was so faint will attach a photo, the line eventually progressed, it’s all so interesting. I’m pleased the line is strong this time apart from family joking that it could be twins 🤦🏼‍♀️

this was last time

Thank you :) I’m nervous, had a MMC at 10 weeks in July and a MC at 6 weeks before my first child so not really wanting to believe or get too excited about it. In all three of my other pregnancies I’ve told people from the moment I tested positive (fam/friends/work colleagues) but this time I’ve only told best friend and a couple work colleagues.

Symptom wise nothing yet, apart from peeing tons and tired. I know I get super sick but that starts about 5-6 weeks 😖

How are you feeling?

Sorry to hear you’ve had a hard time previously, I had a missed miscarriage found out at my 12 week scan that baby’s heartbeat stopped at 8 and a half weeks, I think all we can do is be really positive and hope for the best ❤️

i have sore boobs and a watery mouth that’s all so far I had a watery mouth last time, I had sickness from 6 weeks last time.

keeping everything crossed for us both 🌈x

Same to you, let me know how you get on ☺️ everything crossed! ❤️
