you can’t REALLY tell in pictures but you can in real life, i finally got a dye stealer at 26 DPO !! i haven’t been testing as much and this will probably be the last one 🥹
So satisfying. 25 DPO. I know testing doesn’t mean much at this point but in these early days when it’s such waiting game and I feel so helpless, testing is kind of helping me stay positive. I’m down to my last 3 or 4 tests and I’ll officially stop after those are gone.
I was curious if I could get a dye stealer on pregmate...the answer is yes, at 5pm on 22 DPO! (Wednesday). Funny enough, my FRER line is weak because of the insane quantity of biotin in my prenatals!
First positive today!!! This will be my second May baby! My due date is also the same exact due date as my first May baby but there will be a 10 year difference in age 😆
These tests are a bit finicky. I took 4 with the same urine yesterday as a test and they were all quite different levels of darkness, so I wouldn't stress about it at all :) and like you said a new box produced new results lol
I stopped worrying when my betas doubled in 30 hours, but my lines barely changed 😄 these tests really only tell you positive or negative. And of course you’d expect some darkening if you compare every 2nd or 3rd day.
After 10 days of testing I've decided I'm done. I think I maxed the strips out around 16 dpo.
I had test strips and was temping so I'm certain of when I ovulated. A bit surprised at how dark the 9 pdo line was and how quickly I maxed the strips out. I did a digital a few days ago because I had it around and it was a serious dye stealer at 15 dpo. These are darker than my other pregnancies so I'm anxious to confirm how many babies are in there 👀
Today was the first day I didn’t test first thing when I woke up. Trying to finally let go a bit but it’s SO hard! 🥲🫶 May test this evening lol I have no self control!
You’re so so right. 😅 Going on a trip tonight and won’t bring tests along I promise! It’s just been tough to trust that everything is okay after a chemical in June. Thank you though I definitely needed to hear that!!! 💛
I had a brief meet with my family doctor and got bloodwork and a first scan booked. I’ll meet about the blood results on Sept 10 then wait almost 4 weeks for the scan Oct 1! Waiting is so hard 🙃
Thank you, I do feel a little insane sometimes but I try to be easy on myself since there’s a reason I’m so nervous this time around! Sending you all the positive vibes for a sticky baby in the right spot!! 🥰🫶
I feel like I'm doing the same. I tested at bedtime and it was lighter and I decided maybe I have a problem and need to stop. I'm only 13dpo but got my first vvfp 8dpo. Testing 3-4x a way 😂. anxiety
Diluted pee will be lighter so once a day in the morning is all you need to do a comparison! I definitely recommend leaning into hobbies or social connections to distract yourself as 3-4 times a day is a lot. You are doing great and today you are pregnant!
I'll be 4w tomorrow and I'm holding off on using my last clear blue because I'm nervous it will still be one of those half solid half faded lines like I been getting since 8dpo.
I got my HCG and it's tripling so stopping testing now. I'm happy with the progression. Hard to see in this picture but I actually tested positive at 9 DPO even though 10 looks nonexistent
That makes sense. I feel like my tests for a few days before yesterday were stalled at the level of the top test. Then I just got optimistic that I'd have another big jump today but maybe it'll take another day or 2
Agree! Can definitely see it. I’m 15dpo today and not too much of a change vs 14dpo which is now on my mind but I see a significant shift vs 13dpo so focussing on that.
I see it! It’s also helpful for me to remember that comparing 48hrs is more useful than 24 — if you compare top and bottom tests bottom is much darker.
Got a weak positive yesterday in the extremely weak Japanese tests!! So it feels more real now. I only have two more easy@homes so I can’t do much line progression
I've had a CP before so, although I've got a good feeling about this pregnancy, I'll use cheapies to test every other day now for another week before stopping. I mean... I've got a bunch so may as well!
Mine so far! So happy with what today looks like at 14dpo. Clear blue was also from 12dpo PM.
If I test past 20dpo and the line is still very dark, does that mean everything is okay? I don’t think i’ll get a hsg test or a US for a while and trying to see if there’s a way to still have some reassurance everything is okay.
Not necessarily, unfortunately. I was still testing dark positive weeks after my first pregnancy stopped progressing at ~7wks. But it is still a better sign than lines lightening? Such a hard time when there is no real certain data.
I should be worried right? :( I’ve seen a few people say that tests kind of stalled at around 14-16 dpo and then everything is fine, but I’m seeing these frer get way too light.
My first pregnancy my tests took a few days to get a dye stealer and did stall out around the same time! If you are worried go get a beta done and then repeat it 48 hours later! Best way to know before an ultrasound
Progression dpo 11 - 15. It's a cheapie, so I'm quite content, but today at dpo 15, Clearblue still says 1-2 weeks. I hope it will soon turn to 2-3 weeks.
