I got a shadow of a line on 10dpo (I think) and it's gotten progressively darker, but is still pretty faint for 13DPO. I had a chemical 2 months ago and am still nursing, so am on edge. I've missed my period, but am still not a believer. This would be LO#3, so I'm surprised I am so on edge.
Anyone have a test look like this at 13DPO?

I think that's totally Normal for that early! Get Betas but don't worry yet!

I feel like my test looked like that at 13dpo with LO1--it was faint enough that I didn't believe it was positive and took a digital at lunchtime.

My lines were always super light. I second the getting betas to make you feel better. But for now, congrats, Mama!

Is it a new frer? My lines never got dark on those compared to my first lo

@gotkimchi: YES. The curved ones. I didn't want to buy them as I had heard some negative reviews (and the first two tests I took were actually just regular FRER) but that's all they had at the store when I was there.

That looks like a positive to me! I usually pee on wondfo's every day to make sure the line is getting darker and go in for blood hcg tests every 2 days. Good luck!

With my 3rd, the line was light. I don't chart so I'm not sure how many DPO I was. But based on my dating ultrasound I was maybe 12-13 DPO. I took it in the day I missed my period, and it was light like that. I'm 14 weeks now. My 1st two pregnancies were dark from the beginning (I did take them the day after I missed my period).

@winniebee: yah I wasn't impressed with them either but it's all they had!! So id say it's just the new tests

Mine looked like that and I'm just about 12 weeks now! I used the curved FRERs as well, and I really think they are lighter the originals.
Eta: this is what mine looked like

My period was due on Monday and I was seeing my RE that Wednesday I believe so when AF didn't come I thought no way, but I'll test anyway?!? So I had to have been 13-15DPO!
Well you know my outcome

@gotkimchi: @MrsKRB: interesting. Now I'm tempted to go get regular frers. Must. Stop.

@winniebee: mine was pretty faint at 13dpo on the new frer. Took a rapid result the next afternoon and it was wayyyyy darker.

Mine was faint like yours at 12dpo, then got a little darker at 13dpo and a lot darker at 14dpo. I'm now 11w. Here's a pic of 13dpo and 14dpo. These are on the new curved FRER (as you can see). Try not to stress and test again tomorrow!

@winniebee: Man I don't like these new ones if they're just overall lighter than regular ones! As if we need another reason to freak out!

Yours looks like mine has at 13 and 14 DPO every time - I've got two LOs and am 9 weeks along with #3. Fingers crossed!

I tested over the weekend on 13 dpo and mine looks very similar. I'm not testing again. I did that last time with a faint one that did end in miscarriage and I felt like it only made me crazy from the second I found out until it ended. I just booked blood work at my doctor's office for week 6 and I'm just going to focus on how I'm feeling. This time round already feels very different from the last time and I'm hoping that is a good sign.

My test today might even be lighter. I'll get bloods today and Wednesday but I don't feel very positive.

Ladies I need help! I have pcos and my husband and I have been trying for a year! This time around I charted and ovulated on the 17th. I took three tests on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and all showed a faint positive within minutes! I went to doctor and her test showed negative and she told me to wait and come back on the 7th! My nipples are very tender my appetite has increased and when husband and I have intercourse it feels weird! I have taken three more test this week with first morning urine and all are negative! Just don't know what to think! I have included my pic of the tests for all to see so please give me your thoughts! I'm not due to start until the end of the week but with pcos I can go up to 50 days with no period!

@Navywife21: that FREE in your second pic is a very clear ! What makes you say it's negative? Could you go in for a blood draw just to confirm and make you feel better?

@Navywife21: I see lines on all of your tests, I would wait it out and treat it like you are pregnant and hopefully your doctor will order blood work. It could be you urine was diluted enough on her test since it's early yet. Wait, I just reread - you saw that these were positive and you've gotten 3 negatives since then? I would ask for blood work.

@LovelyPlum: thank you! I'm going crazy! This happened a few months ago but I only got one faint positive and went to Doctor and she said my pcos caused the spike in chg and got period a week later! But three on three different days had me excited until I kept getting negatives after that

@LuLu Mom: thank you just going nuts! Doctor won't do blood until the 7th so getting all the negatives in different tests now has me crazy!
