Ok, af is not due till tomorrow but i got my first bfp on saturday, a faint one at 9dpo. On monday it was darker, still faint but darker so i was happy. Yesterday it went lighter again, today is about the same lightness. so i have gone from 9dpo to 13dpo and frer tests have stayed exactly the same faintness really.
I got 2 super faint bfp on clearblue yesterday, and not pregnant on a digi obviously.
I know I should be happy that i have a collection of 9 bfp!! (yes really, and yes i know i am wasting money) but this line darkening thing has really upset me. i have had several chemicals in the past and its killing me i cant seem to get past a few days. I should say that all of the lines are coming up straight away, definitely no evaps. But I see so many beautiful bright frer lines on these boards and i cant understand why mine wont get darker. from one day to the next i can understand but over 4?
anyway, wanted you to have a look at a couple of piccies and tell me what you think? am i being paranoid, should i step away from the tests? actually dont answer that, yes i should and positive till proven negative i guess. here are the pics;

Firstly, congrats hun, you are pregnant, secondly, omg it must be costing you a fortune. Thirdly some women have different levels of hcg, doesnt mean anything and lastly different concentrations of sample. I know its hard when youve had a chemical, had one myself so I know you just want that elusive glaringly obviouse pee stick. I would maybe wait now, try and relax as much as you can and book in at the drs, express your concerns, but it looks good hun.

Each test has a different amount of dye so a darkening positive is no indication of rising HCG. Go to your docs ask for bloods to see if you level is rising if your worried but try and CHILL OUT hunny! This means nothing xxx

wow hun, def positives! i wouldnt worry toomuch how faint or dark they are hun a line is a line! i would visit the dr to get it all confirmed and gofrom there.

good luck and congrats x

Hi - I am in the same boat as you - had 2 chemicals over past 9 months and this month - had a very faint BFP on Friday last week - infact - IC test showed squinty faint line and FRER showed nothing - Sat - FRER showed a faint line - Sainsburys showed a visible line on Sunday - went to docs on Monday for bloods - did sainsburys test on mon and tues - both same visibility and a result of only just pregnant at docs with HCG at 25 - I know I concieved on 17th Feb - so on Mon I would be 12 or 13 DPO - waiting now till monday next week for more bloods to see if HCG has gone up - fingers crossed. The point is - this all becomes very obsessive when you are trying to become pregnant and have had MC's or chemicals - you DO look for darkening lines to show an increase of HCG - and you DO panic whenever you get a twinge - and no matter what anyone says to reassure you - (Even though it is nice to be reassured) it doesn't stop you panicing - I have done 14 tests since Friday (5days) and I know how much money I have wasted and I know how much my OH is annoyed at me - but it makes me feel better - it is a bit like OCD - fingers crossed for Monday - and you should go get some peace of mind from the GP - sticky baby dust to you xxx good luck - I am always here - as are all of the other lovely ladies on here - to chat xx

Looks like a BFP to me, no matter how light! I hope so for you! Sticky baby dust coming your way!

Oh man, those are positives! Would drive me crazy too without it getting dark! If you really want to solidify it for yourself go for a digi! congrats!!

That sounds like a good idea - get one that actually SAYS pregnant! I didn't realise the lines would be so faint, ttc 1st cycle but they are very clear, despite being so pale. Good luck!

they all looks positive to me, congrats

thanks ladies. I agree about the digi and i already did that a couple of days ago and got not pregnant. however I just saved my wee for 6 hours and got the pic below on a normal clearblue. so fmu tomorrow i will try the digi again and let you know what it says. The clearblue below is darker than yesterday so i am quite chuffed with that, its a small progress step lol. unless anyone thinks i should hold off on the digi tomorrow and wait let me know, thanks again for all your responses x
