Just went through this w a cp at 4w1d. Af lasted a day longer and I was more crampy than normal but my ob gave us the ok to ttc this cycle as well.

Everyone around here is always really supportive. I had a feeling right from the beginning that something wasn't quite right, it just seemed too good to be true. Focusing on all the positive things in my life right now, I have a lot to be thankful for. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1879970 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 17:32:13 +0000 jetsa 1879970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1879965 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 17:27:40 +0000 simplyfelicity 1879965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: I am very sorry to hear this. :heart: Feel free to hang out with us in the "Beyond Miscarriage Support Thread." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1879961 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 17:24:45 +0000 Jess1483 1879961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: so sorry for your loss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1879942 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 16:53:19 +0000 Crystal 1879942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: I'm so sorry to hear that. :sad: </p> <p>Take care of yourself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1879939 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 16:38:58 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1879939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: I'm sorry to hear that...

It is likely unrelated to the light tests you got originally. I had light lines but high #s on my betas. Best of luck when you try again &amp; get your next BFP. :goodluck: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1879931 Sat, 27 Sep 2014 16:17:48 +0000 QBbride 1879931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I started bleeding at 5w. I took a pg test the next morning and the line was super light, like as light as when I first took the test :crying: I called my midwife and she offered me an u/s, but I'm hoping my body takes care of it itself. The good news is she said we didn't have to wait to try again. </p> <p>Thanks for your support ladies :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872735 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:42:20 +0000 LAZB 1872735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with the PPs. I tested several days in a row, and on the second day my test even looked lighter than the first day, and everything turned out fine. I am now almost 17w, and all is well.<br /> FWIW, I've seen some ladies get SUPER dark lines quickly, and then have a MC, and I've seen other ladies have light lines and successful pregnancies.<br /> This is not to say I wouldn't be nervous, because I totally get it, but try to stay calm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872734 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:42:07 +0000 brownie 1872734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've personally seen it go both ways. Last time it got lighter and it was a chemical. This time it got lighter and I was convinced it was another loss and I'm now almost 12 weeks. Unfortunately you can't do anything either way. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872728 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:36:53 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1872728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still positive! Definitely don't worry. :happy: If you wanted to, you could probably get a beta drawn...but otherwise hang in there and be optimistic! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872704 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:28:08 +0000 BandDmommy 1872704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: your so early, I wouldn't speculate unless your tests went negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872686 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:21:16 +0000 Mrs. Detour 1872686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My FRERs never got darker and I'm now 21 weeks pregnant. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872659 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:12:46 +0000 Mae 1872659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wasn't dark until like 19dpo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872651 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:09:21 +0000 QBbride 1872651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: well it was not any darker but the first test was with smu and my second test was with fmu. So I'm thinking if they were both with fmu then it might have been lighter.</p> <p>I know it's best not to speculate though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872644 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:06:16 +0000 BandDmommy 1872644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QBbride: I think as long as it's not getting lighter or goes away you are fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872641 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 09:04:24 +0000 QBbride 1872641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHansen82: @Rainbow Sprinkles: @Cole: </p> <p>Thanks ladies! I know I should just enjoy it and not think negatively! Worrying isn't going to change the outcome anyway. Last night I googled (big mistake!) and read lots about chemicals/mc's. Sigh. </p> <p>I'm thinking maybe next week I'll take another test because by that time it should definitely be darker. That's probably a bad idea too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872443 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 06:44:09 +0000 Cole 1872443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took mine forever to get darker too. I was suitably freaked out and it turned out fine. I want to say it was close to a week before there was a significant difference. Fingers crossed for you! Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872390 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 01:11:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1872390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be worried. I have two babies and I've personally never had a FRER line show up any darker than what you just posted. </p> <p>Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872379 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 00:03:31 +0000 turquoisemama 1872379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I freaked myself out by testing two days in a row and thought I was having a chemical when I wasn't because it didn't get darker. I'm 24 weeks now! The best thing you can do is wait and know that you are pregnant. There's nothing you can do either way, so just enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872361 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 23:05:40 +0000 QBbride 1872361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @sapphire. With my first, once I got a :bfp: I didn't test again. That would have been much smarter this time. But I bought a 2-pack of FRERs and I couldn't help myself.</p> <p>And I know worrying doesn't change anything, but it still sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872358 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 22:59:06 +0000 sapphire 1872358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry. It took several days to actually see mine darker (and I'm. 16 weeks now). It's really not what it's meant to do. It's still positive and that's all you can know for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frer-not-getting-any-darker-freaking-out#post-1872356 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 22:54:22 +0000 QBbride 1872356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help ladies!</p> <p>I got a squinter in a dollar store cheapie, took a FRER 2 days later with second morning urine (the day AF would be due). </p> <p>I took another FRER (whyyyyy?) 2 days later (so AF is now 2 days late) with first morning urine and the line is no darker. So I'm guessing if I had used fmu the first time, it would actually be lighter the second time.</p> <p>Help! Any advice? Positive/negative stories?</p> <p>Freaking out!!!!</p> <p>(Pic attached is from the day AF was due... it was no darker 2 days later) </p> [attach=1716/14/ncaauo.600x448.image.jpg]
