    HPT not getting darker

    Morning,

    Not sure if I posted this in the right place..

    Ive been testing for a few days and FR isnt getting darker.. I have two lines the control line comes straight up but the pregnant line is faint..

    I used the crystal clear it showed it light the first night. The next day with not fmu I tested with clear blue digital and it looked a little draker and it said pregnant.. I tested again but later with the clear blue and it looked the same maybe a little darker..

    Im just wondering if you think this pregnancy is going to lead to M/C..

    I know I need to get a blood test but.... I cant get to the doctors for a blood test until thursday..

    Hello, I think as it is still early days for you, it will still be light....I am just 5 weeks and my HPT's only started getting a little bit darker at yesterday's test - but still not as dark as the control line, all my other previous tests were very light - starting at about 4 weeks ....a doctors blood test will definitely put your mind at rest...and I think if you did a HPT after 5 weeks it would be darker.

    Wishing you lots of sticky vibes and a healthy pregnancy.

    Eng,
    Congrats on your pregnany You are not even 4 weeks yet and HPT will not tell you how pregnant you are only that you are pregnant. There are so many factors to consider when looking at how dark a test line is... please try not to stress (((hugs)))

    Congrats again!

    Hiya Eng!

    I hope you've been able to get in for a blood test by now, but if it helps, with this pregnancy (and I'm nearly 30 weeks now ) I tested with FR, and got a faint pos...then a couple of days later tested with FMU and had NOTHING it looked bfn!
    Then I tested in the arvo the same day, and there was a faint line, the next evening, I got a pregnant on clear blue.
    A couple of days after that I actually got a not pregnant on clear blue (I nearly pooped myself!).
    I didn't manage to get a positive in any way until 8 weeks on the LC Early tests....go figure!!
    I'm sure everything will be fine Hun, and I look forward to hearing good news!!

    i thought it was weird i tested 3 days passed my missed period and it was the faintest of faint but with my last preg i got a clear dark positive 2 days past missed period so who knows i think every pregnancy is different and those tests are all different its annoying i know i was wary about mine coz they were from ebay

    Eng - with the clear blue digital test - you aren't meant to pull them apart and look at them. They often have two lines if they are positive or not ... they are testing different things to regular HPT. If it says positive, then it's positive.

    This link might help a bit: POAS ~ HPT FAQ

    Congratulations on your pregnancy

    I'm glad all is well for you FWIW I never got a dark line on any of mine and with my last pg I brought a 2 pack and used one at 4ish wks and then used the other one quite a few weeks later just to use it up and it was no darker than the first one.

    I dont think those FR ones are all that good like people say.. I have to give to the coles brand, crystal clear and the clear blue brands as being more responsive..

    Heres to 9 hopefully short months and a health baby....
