Clear positives on clear blue but easy@home faint??

Hi all,

I just found out I am pregnant yesterday. I did a bit of over testing but got a positive on 2 cheap pink dye test, 3 clear blue dye tests and a clear blue digital displaying 2-3. I bought some easy@home tests to check line progression and the positive line is no where as dark as the control line. Can anybody with experience spread any light on this?

Those are all positive.... please stop testing or you'll drive yourself insane.

Thank you! I know I need to stop, it's just those lines on the easy@home not being as dark as the control lines are driving me insane 😅

Most tests will never be as dark as the control line... it's pretty standard. If that's driving you insane, step away from the tests.

They're cheap tests and that's about as dark as they get. Really strong lines for just finding out, if that eases your mind any! You won't see much line progression from this point.

Agree with what the others said. They're cheap tests and are probably as dark as they're going to get. You can't compare between 2 types of tests anyway. Stop testing, you're pregnant!

Oh I had this, I’m now 14 weeks pregnant but the easy at home never got that dark for me. I stopped testing about a week after my first bfp as it gave me anxiety hoping for a dye stealer on the easy at home

I used the easy@home tests and my lines didn’t get dark until 20dpo which was when I was around 4+5 weeks pregnant, I was slightly worried at the line progression at first because of how light they were, due to previous losses I was stressing haha, but then I had a look online and seen loads of people saying that those tests always seem to come up lighter than other tests and people weren’t getting dark lines until well over a week late on their expected period.

congratulations and I wish you all the luck!✨
