8dp5dt - frozen embryo - so 13dpo? I don't get good sticks in the morning (they are light as, which always spins me into a panic).. but this is from this afternoon.
Normal for 13dpo? Too light? Morning light sticks a bad sign? I have no idea, I'm just petrified!!

totally normal for 13dpo! That looks like a perfect line for the timing.

Does anyone else have experience with fainter lines in the morning and stronger in the afternoon??? Or should I just stop testing in the morning completely?
So nervous, man. Bloods are still 4 days away!

It looks great! With my second (successful) pregnancy I tested around 16dpo and the line wasn't as dark as yours.

@jaguar: I always got darker lines on OPKs and pregnancy tests in the afternoons!

I'd say that looks great for 13dpo! I know from your blog that you had some tests that worried you at 11&12dpo. FWIW, these were my tests that resulted in a successful pregancy. I remember being terrified but the betas quadrupled and tripled. First photo is from 13dpo! So you're doing better than that already.
Do you still temp at all? I think the reason my pregnancy had light HPTs originally was from late implantation, which I thought I could see on my chart.

I think it looks great for 13dpo! Here's my test from 7dp5dt. I think it looks similar. My first beta was over 200 (I transferred 2 embryos). Congratulations! I've got my fingers crossed that your beta comes back nice and high and then doubles.

gorgeous! your line posted above is the exact shade of mine at 13dpo for this pregnancy (which so far is very sticky)--and don't they say that IVF transfers take longer to show up in general? So it's strong! 
and it is WILDLY darker than the squinter I got at 14 dpo for the pregnancy that didn't stick.
As for FMU vs afternoon POAS, that doesn't matter at all--I think it has to do with when your body is surging hcg. They only say to do FMU because most people don't do a proper hold in the middle of the day, so that's when the majority of people's pee is the most concentrated. I've seen lots of people on HB say they got darker test lines in the evening. I don't think it's meaningful at all

@DesertDreams88: not any more! since these FET's are all medicated, I've not bothered. I guess I know dates fairly well because of the FET date .. which is why I always get nervous with faint faint lines.
@Mrs. Pickle: Meep! I wish mine was as dark as that! I didn't do a FR yesterday (12dpo) .. just a digital. Hubby doesn't want me to do any more tests AT ALL.
@LCTBQE: I hope that's true! I had it in my head that because it's fluctuating (light lines in morning, better lines afternoon) that something is wrong again. Nervous, man!
Thanks for keeping me sane guys, even if I know I'll still be a basketcase until the numbers come back. I'm just desperate for this little emby (Olaf!) to stick!

I've written about it before, but I always get MUCH lighter lines in the morning than the afternoon, and I know there are other people on here who are the same way. I had to stop testing in the mornings because it was driving me crazy!
That is a GREAT line for 13dpo! Fingers crossed!!

@jaguar: My tests are always darker in the afternoon/evening too. Fingers crossed that this one is your sticky baby!

Looks like your pregnant to me!! I never compared tests for multiple days, so I have no idea if they got darker. Congrats!!!!!!

That's what my 13dpo lines looked like both times (actually, darker than my first!). My tests were usually darker in the afternoon (hpts and opks).
Congratulations!!!

Dude. That is an amazing line!!!
I posted it for you on poas thread but will post here again so you have all the examples together.
Your 8dpt looks like my 7dpt. Which again, I am an early implanter so I think it's a fair comparison.
Eeeek!
