Hello very anxious so please be kind. I have had dye stealers from 18dpo with clear blue and first response. 20dpo today and these are my easy at homes do they look okay? I’m in a tizz because the bottom one (20dpo) looks slightly lighter if not the same as 19dpo. Any advice at all would be appreciated. I feel so alone as we have decided not to tell anyone. Just looking for a second opinion on these tests. I’m aware of the anxiety further testing causes so am going to stop.

I always say the same thing to people who watch line progressions using different brands of tests. The dye will show up differently because of how it’s manufactured / how diluted your pee is / the sensitivity of the test / how much urine is on the test. There is no worrying difference in any of those tests. Test every couple of days not every day and use the same brand each time.

There is only a certain amount of dye in the tests OP, at 19dpo they can’t really get any darker. And then the ink changes a little
once fully dried too. Time to put them in the bin

Personally I found those strips took forever to darken even when I was getting dye stealers on first response tests. I don’t think I ever got a dye stealer on a strip test and I’m 39 weeks now!

Try to stop testing because all you will do is drive yourself crazy x
