22DPO, pretty faint line....

[Spruggles93]

DTD 8th october.
O'd 10th october (Ov pain + positive opk)
Partner was away from the 10th for 2 weeks so im pretty certain on my timings.

the top test is from 19dpo and the 2nd us from 22dpo using FMU. i would've expected a much darker line by now.

i dont think this will end well.
thoughts?

Ah @Spruggles93 i guess if youre correct on dates then you might expect them to be darker. The second is significantly darker, but potentially not dark enough for 22dpo. But it shows that the pregnancy is progressing. There are loads of variables which should be considered, for example sperm living up to 5 days, and later end ovulation and implantation, plus hydration. If it were me, I’d be wanting to see some hcg bloods to see what kind of rise is underway. Hopefully it’s just some confounding biology, but of course there are other reasons for slower than normal rise that should be monitored. When was your first positive?

Id say that looks like a good strong positive, last time I tested around 22dpo and it was so much lighter than yours. My little girl is bouncing around in her cot. Try not to worry I know its hard and I don't know your history. But wanted to say congratulations 🎊 xx

My first positive was 19dpo, which is the top test - I hadn't tested until that point but I was already 3 days late by that point.
Probably worth noting that I ovulated around 3 days early this month too 🙈
I do have a history of MC and chemicals (and bring a prolific POAS enthusiast)

@Orangeroses243 oh thank you for the reassurance. Congratulations on your little one ❤️

Well if you were only 3 days positive then tbh that progression looks pretty excellent!

I guess, it's just worrying me that I'm so many days DPO.
The fact that I O'd so early worries me slightly too.
