first is 16dpo, the day it first gave a positive result, yay!
second is 17dpo, but in the late afternoon and it has extra colour from my vitamin lolz
last one is 19dpo (today)

are they getting somewhat darker or not? (i think i see what i want to see)
they're 10miu, IC's, i don't know how dark they CAN go?
or is this the darkest they'll go anyway?

i was thinking, since tuesday (16dpo) my HCG should have doubled and i
kind of expected my line to be twice as dark too, maybe that's not really how it works...hmm

any input welcome

I'm 4 weeks & 4 days and i've got the same kind of tests, and the tests i've done yest and 2day are actually really faint, the tests i done few days ago were dark, i was really worried about this but i've been told not to do anymore tests and its prob just the dye and some tests can have more dye in than others even in the same batch. i wouldnt worry unless you have any cramps with spotting/blood. a positive is a good sign.

tinybutterfly

thanks!
didn't know about the dye...
and no cramping or anything, so that is good yes, hooray

Stick with it they get darker every 48-72 hours and sometimes not by a lot. Don't panic honey.

stop testing!!! lol. pregnancy test sensitivity is so random, even ones in the same box can have a different level of sensitivity. and IC's are crap.

I think it's just because they are IC tests, don't worry.
The test line never goes as dark as the control on them xx

Congrats by the way!!
