It hasn't really gotten any darker from when I got my positive at 10 DPO.
-
For reference this is my positive at 10 DPO
-
Hmmm... Those cheepies get dark verrry slowly. Hard to say.
-
Not necessarily. But my tests were always darker at night too.
-
Wandfos suck at getting darker. Have you tried an frer?
-
@winniebee: no I haven't. Maybe I'll go to the store and buy a package. With my last pregnancy, they got dark super fast, that's why I'm feeling concerned! Gah.
-
@avivoca: maybe I'll try taking one at night! I have like a million left anyway!
-
Those never got dark for me!
-
@MrsBrewer: The darkness of the line doesn't always mean much. Could you call your OB and ask for a blood test/beta and have them test your progesterone? If that is low, they could have you supplement it to help sustain the pregnancy.
-
That's actually about what mine looked like at 13 dpo. It did eventually get darker at 15 dpo when I took my last test. But I also agree with @avivoca: that my tests are generally darker in the afternoon/evening. I wouldn't worry!
-
@peachykeen: I know it's so stupid, I shouldn't worry! But I totally am!! I will wait to test again will Friday at 15 DPO.....hopefully it's darker then. If not.....I'm done testing and I will just wait till I have my appt and go from there!!
-
I wouldn't worry too much. Say the test can detect 13 HCG at 10DPO - the numbers are supposed to double every 24 hours I believe - so 26 at 11 DPO, 52 at 12 DPO, 104 at 13 DPO. That still isn't a super high number to make the lines really dark but by 15 DPO you have gone to 416 - which is a lot more than 13! (This is just based on my completely unscientific understanding of how things are supposed to go and those numbers are totally made up!)
-
@MrsBrewer: I worried with my first pregnancy about lines getting lighter and actually started crying thinking I was losing the pregnancy - DH thought I was crazy! That's the only reason I was able to keep myself more sane this time around, but it sure can be stressful until you start to get a bump and feel kicks!
-
Those tests are crappy. With DD2 I had an invisible to just about everyone but Winniebee squinter cheapie and a blazing positive FRER.
-
My Wondfo didn't get dark until later because they were cheapies and just didn't register it. FRER's always gave me the best and clearest results at any DPO.
-
Yay - congrats!! That's how mine looked at 13dpo with my 2nd pregnancy. But remember, the color of the line on the Wondfus don't indicate HOW pregnant you are.
-
I've taken several that look just like that and I think I feel just like you. I keep going to the store for a digital to confirm but they're always sold out! Four different places! It's kind of killing me.
But I'd say that's a positive! Congrats!
-
Could the earlier one also have gotten darker because it's older?
Test again with other devices perhaps and even though it's almost impossible, try not to worry.
-
My cheap ones stayed light for 6 weeks! I went and got store brand target ones and they were dark at 14dpo
-
I think you should stop testing
-
I think my wondfos didn't get considerably darker for something ridiculous like 10 days after getting a bfp. And I'm 21 weeks now!
-
@2PeasinaPod: I know I should.....but where's the fun in that? ha!
-
Just wanted to update! I'm now at 4+6 and my lines are dark as ever!
-
@MrsBrewer: THAT is a beautiful line. I'm 12dpo (appx) and it looks like the pic above but now, the line comes out faster. I kept getting lines outside the test window when I tested at 9dpo. Now I get it within the window.
I'm a tester too haha.
-
Gorgeous line! So happy for you! I hate wondfos, lol, even though I took like 5 after getting a positive on a digital
-
@tequiero21: Hahaha yea I'm a habitual tester, at least until my first appointment when I can see little bean in there! Which isn't until the end of the month!
-
@MrsBrewer: Your lines look great. You're pregnant! Stop testing.
-
@cascademom: I know! hahah I honestly feel confident now after seeing these lines!
-
@MrsBrewer: woohoo! good lines
I'm a tester too haha.
