If you are not super certain of your dates or did not track ovulation in some way- with opks or charting - then hopefully your dates are just not 100% accurate, and this early - 2 or 3 days can make such a huge difference. So hopefully it is just that

My two chemicals were later, lighter hpts....I didn't get positives until 12 dpo or later, they were super light. But they didn't hang around but for 3 or 4 days- and by that time I'd already had betas to tell me how low my number was so I pretty much knew it was a cp already. Are you planning on getting betas?

With my healthy pregnancies, I had extreme squinters on frer on 9dpo, and definite no-doubt-about-it lines on 10 dpo. Everyone is different though...And different brands of hpts give different results as well. I never mess with the cheapies bc I always see people on here saying they had negative ICs and then blazing positive frers. Or questionably light lines on ICs. I only use Frers bc there has just never been any question with them. Even when the line is light, it is OBVIOUS.

I've had 3 chemical pregnancies, and with all three I pretty much knew early on that things weren't going to be good. The tests were always really slow to darken, and then eventually they would just come to a standstill and never get any darker. However... with my 4th pregnancy I was obsessed with watching the test lines and I felt like they took unusually long to progress, but my hcg doubled appropriately and that pregnancy ended up being viable much to my surprise! I really, really hope this is the case with you. I know it sucks to be stuck in limbo, and hope you have good news soon!

With this pregnancy I had practically nothing on a cheapie at 13 dpo and a for sure no doubt line on FRER.
What kind of test did you use?

I am hunting for my pictures, but so far I have tested 2 pregnancies and it has gone both ways. Last fall I had a chemical pregnancy and didn't test. So the next one I tested. I got a positive very lightly 6 days after a 5 day transfer (so that would like 11 dpo I think). It stayed light until after I was told it was negative at the beta test. I also had 2 FRER day 9 and day 10 past 5 day and the second FRER was lighter.

So this time around I tested my trigger out and got a positive around 10dpo again a squinter but absolutely for certain this time. Did a test every day and went in for my beta at 13dpo. I was convinced it was going to go down because the line hadn't darkened and the FRER got lighter. That one stuck. I have my progressions if you want them.

So far, I have never gotten dark lines on a FRER or a wondfo ever. I have my friends progression for her sticky pregnancy and it was light for a long time as well. Her's didn't get anywhere near the control until over a month after her LMP. They were very very light and going up and down for the first week.

Of 3 pregnancies, the only successful one was the latest (13dpo I think). So don't worry if you can help it, and try to believe in your pregnancy.

I'm in the minority, but the one time I've been pregnant, I didn't get a positive at 11dpo but did at 14dpo, and even then it was pretty light. I guess I could have ovulated later than I thought, but I was already basing it on a later than normal (though normal for me) ovulation date. And I have a healthy 17 month old now! Good luck to you!
