I've been having positive tests since 9dpo, i'm now 17dpo, i didn't test yest but went to bed at 12am, woke up at 2am & fort i'd test and it took a while to come up, was fainter than the other tests i've done but you could see a clear line.. so i had a drink & woke up at 8am, did a test 30mins ago and it again took a while to come up but was still faint. I'm abit worried now, i fort the tests would get darker :S I don't have any cramps etc & my temp is still up. When i did 5 tests on 14dpo they came up within mins & they wernt as dark as the test line but they were darker than 2days tests

Apparently as your pregnancy progresses, the hormone levels rise so high they start to cause false negatives on tests!! Don't know why but tests are much more accurate in the earlier stages I think. So I wouldn't worry too much - a few days makes a big difference as your hormone levels are doubling every day! xxx

Yeah I also read your hormone levels can get too high for the test. I'm sure I read on here somewhere that if you dilute your wee with water you should get a stronger result, it must bring the hormone levels down a bit so the test can detect them. I wouldn't worry.
