i got my

on a superdrug test 2 days ago. i tested with a frer yesterday midday & got a faint pink line, i tested this morning with another frer & the line hasnt got darker

does this mean its a chemical pregnany? i'm 11 dpo today & due

tomorrow. Any advice would be great, thanks! x

I had a chemical last year and the sign was that the tests didn't get darker BUT that was a few days after

was due.
I think this early the tests are quite slow to get any darker.
It is only really noticable every 3 days or so and its not a huge difference anyway.
My only advice is to keep testing with the same brand. Also if you are keeping your old tests, they will prob get darker every day they are sitting, which isn't really as dark as they actually were, so don't compare your new tests to them. Compare to a photo taken 5-10 minutes after each test was taken.

FX'd for you.

I agree, you should def stick with the same brand. I had 4 days of internet strips which barely showed a line, then tried with a tesco and got a better one *sigh*
I'd speak to your GP and get your bloods done, that'll save some worry

Remember HPT's only test for the presence of HCG and not how much so I wouldnt worry too much hun.Congrats on your BFP x

Also it depends on how much dye is in there - im betting it wont be the same in each test every time!
