No line progression...

Hi all! I got my first BFP Monday evening (2.5 days ago) on a test I grabbed in the pharmacy on my way home. Supposedly 25iu sensitivity. I got a faint but definitely there line. I did a clear blue digital a few hours after and I was shocked to see 'not pregnant'. Since then I've been using my Internet cheapies (10iu) and the line is just not progressing. I'm testing morning and evening and it's not getting darker, but it's not getting lighter either. I know no one has a crystal ball, and I'm full expecting this to end up as a chemical. But did anyone else experience this? Below are my tests from the kast 24-48 hours. As you can see, they all look pretty similar. My period is 4 days late, I am technically 16 dpo today.

Did you track ovulation? Just in case it was a bit later than usual. I'm assuming you're testing at a similar time each day with a similar hold?

I would say in the early stages mine didn't progress particularly significantly especially on cheap tests then all of a sudden they did. Now 16 weeks pregnant! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Test every 48 hours instead of daily

Thank you! I did track ovulation, but who knows how long after my peak i actually ovulated. I'm thinking of trying a different test?

A positive test is a positive test.

Anecdotal I know, but I have only ever had feint lines on pregnancy tests, even when I carried twins. I have four kids.

A line is a line. Doesn't need to get darker to be a healthy pregnancy.

Thank you so much for the positive comment :) fingers crossed! We're yours as faint as mine?

I know it’s hard but try not to test every day, try aim for 48 hours between each test. My tests with my second child, were incredibly faint, however my digital test did say pregnant.
I’d wait until 7 days late and try take another digital test to see what it says.

I have a thread on here about my own line progression which didn’t really do what I wanted it to do on ICs. After two losses, I was a wreck. Now 14 weeks pregnant and everything is going well x
