Go with your gut, no sugar-coating.
ETA I had a beta on 12dpo and my OB said it was positive but REALLY low, wait and see.

That 14 dpo looks pretty solid to me. I would try to stop testing for a couple days. I bet the lighter 13 was just less concentrated- like maybe you drank more water before bed or something. I don’t want to say D because it’s rude, but, D
Good luck! -
Looks okay to me - the lighter 13 might be because of a number of reasons, including just the test was less sensitive than others - maybe it was older or something.
Good luck!
-
I know we already talked about this and I gave you my opinion, but the 14dpo looks significantly darker. That’s this AM?
Gosh I was pretty sure last night but this is looking kind of good to me. Not sugar coating, just seeing that darker line is throwing me for a loop. Mine in May def didn’t get any darker by 14dpo. Mine at 14dpo was basically a blank test and then I started bleeding.
I’d ask for another beta. They do say that the number doesn’t matter, the doubling does. So I’d want to know. Is it possible you were a little off on your dpo estimate? Even 1-2 days can matter that early on.
Good luck! Keep me posted. -
I do not get early positives so this looks legit to me. With my most recent pregnancy, I got negatives on 12dpo and 13dpo (and was sure of my ovulation date via temping and OPKs) and a faint line on 14dpo. She’s now 5.5 months old and I’m nursing her bottle refusing self right now. Hoping you have a similar outcome!
ETA: found a pic of my 14dpo tests, will wall you!
-
It looks legit to me. I had a chemical and my line was like your 12dpo 2 pm but it was FMU and then the next day it was completely gone, no line.. and no line the next day either. So I think the fact that yours is there and getting darker is a good sign.
-
I’ve had a lot of early losses and i voted too early to tell. 14dpo looks better but I’ve had a test like that get lighter again. I would do another beta and/or see what your test looks like on 16dpo if a beta isn’t possible. My experience over many bfps (failed and not) is that it’s reasonable to expect a darker line if you wait 48 hours in between. Of course there are exceptions. I hope it works out!!
-
Congrats!!!!! It's getting darker over the 48 hour interval between 12 and 14, which is a good sign!
I didn't find that my tests looked different at this point between a chemical where I started bleeding around 5 weeks, a later first tri loss, and my current pregnancy (35 weeks now). I've always gotten a faint positive at 11 dpo - this time it did not get darker at all at 12 dpo and I thought for sure it was another chemical (because even with my chemical it got darker) but it darkened after that. I know the wait is the shittiest thing ever, but re-testing in another 48 hours should give you more insight.
-
Thank you, ladies. I'm going to test again in 2-3 days and see what's up. @jape14: my history is that the two pregnancies I had that lifted off the ground were both pretty solid lines by 11dpo, so this feels wrong for me--doesn't it seem like people put themselves into a category of what their own "normal" is and then don't allow for much mental wiggle room?
but good to know that this is normal to you! @SweetiePie: yep, the one on the bottom is from this morning--I was so sure I had a chemical happening last night too but that line is just dark enough to throw me for a loop. Almost texted you but I thought you'd see it here anyway. And I don't think I'm off on my dates, my chart is really clear that this would be 14dpo
blehh.
-
It looks more similar to my miscarriages than my regular pregnancies so that would be my gut instinct. That said, it may just be too early to tell yet!
-
@travellingbee: exactly--I actually looked at an old post of yours last night
I'm not attached to the idea of this "working", I just hate the anxiety of not knowing. And don't want to get my hopes up (they're not).
-
If you take out the 12 DPO at 2pm one, you're getting darker and darker with each morning test. I know some ladies say they get darker tests in the afternoon than with FMU. With that in mind I'd say it looks great. And FWIW with one LO I had a negative at 13dpo and faint line at 14dpo and with the other I had a positive at 8dpo. So I don't put too much into when lines showed up with previous pregnancies.
-
@LCTBQE: I know. It was very disappointing once I gotten my hopes up. I guess you can just try to be cautiously optimistic.
-
I voted too early to tell. I have my fingers crossed for you, friend. I'm here no matter what. My chemical was quite dark at 12 dpo and then I never tested again until I started spotting, so I don't have any advice.
-
I think you are fine but I understand your reservations. Remember that DPO may not account for implantation which could be slightly off a day or two. My early lines were also better with PM tests instead of FMU.
-
Without the 14 dpo one, my gut would have said chemical (my chemical was like 3 straight days of your first 12 dpo one and then AF showed up). But the 14 dpo one is definitely darker! Crossing my fingers that it works out for you!
-
@JennyPenny: @T.H.O.U.: yeah, I just dislike how light it still is at 14dpo, but my chart does show a pretty clear implantation dip at 10dpo. So I guess it's possible this is okay--thanks for your thoughts! I hear you about pm vs fmu. My 2pm test is def darker than the one from the following morning. I just hate holding it at work
-
@mrsjd: @catlady:
-
They're definitely getting darker. Still very faint, but it could just be super late implantation. So... try not to stress!!! I'm sure you'll have a better idea what's up soon. The waiting game is the worst.
-
Your 14dpo looks really dark to me! When I had a cp my lines never got that dark. And wth lo2, I didn’t get a bfp until well after I thought I should, I must have implanted late (and then she was born at 41 weeks according to lmp).
After my cp I stopped using using frers and just stuck to digitals, I couldn’t stand having to interpret lines, I just neede a yes/no. Maybe take a step back from the tests: today you are pregnant!
-
Today's being stronger than yesterday looks promising. I am SO hopeful for you!!
-
@LCTBQE: I don't think it's a chemical. Fwiw, my chemical was one suuuuper faint positive followed by 2ish days of what looked like your 2pm 12 DPO test and then a stark negative.
-
I think they look fine - I see a progression of darkness except for the one test. But I don't trust the tests to not be weird. I had really faint lines with my 2nd LO on the FRERs. Fingers crossed.
-
looks good to me! I would expect it to get darker as days pass and DPO 14 looks legit.
-
@LCTBQE: The 14DPO looks darker so I'm hoping this is the start of a great pregnancy for you! I'm so happy to see another May 2016 mama TTC again!
-
I have no helpful insights, just wanted to say I'm hoping for the best for you
-
@LCTBQE: No advice, but so excited for you and am hoping for the best! The last line and general progression looks good to me.
-
Too early to tell, but crossing my fingers for you.
-
update?
-
@Mama Bird: @nana87: @ChiCalGoBee: @pwnstar: @psw27: @birdofafeather: @agold: @MrsSCB: @pregnantbee: @SugarplumsMom: @Ajsmommy: Thanks for the support, everyone
I'm actually getting to a semi-zen (for me, haha) place and not feeling very anxious anymore. obviously I prefer a good one, but I'm okay with it being a rotten one if it is--I don't at all have that hell-bent "this HAS to work" feeling like I did each time before. Didn't test today but I probably will tomorrow.
It is so grounding to hear your stories about all the ways early pregnancy can look and shake out, thank you for sharing them -
@LCTBQE: I'm not much of a chemical pregnancy expert but sending all of my good vibes your way, lady! One day at a time!
-
I was thinking yes until I scrolled down and saw the 14dpo test! It’s pretty dark!!! Good luck!
-
Both of my viable pregnancies have looked like that. The pregnancy I lost had much better lines.
-
Update: it's a chemical
Started bleeding this evening, this one is definitely a dud, but at least it resolved quickly. Thanks so much for the support, ladies.
-
@LCTBQE: I’m sorry. Sending hugs.
-
So sorry
-
@Shantuck: @CatchAFallingStar: I'm okay, this one isn't so bad. Thank you
-
@LCTBQE: I’m so sorry. Thinking of you
-
@LCTBQE: So many hugs to you
-
@LCTBQE: I'm so sorry, I was hoping this wasn't the case. Hugs to you.
blehh.
