This is my 6th test in 5 days. Cramping, feeling nauseated, and my breasts are a very surprising size but I couldn't be happier! I still can't believe it. Hence taking 6 test in 5 days.
I don't have a pic of my FRER but the line was so faint I don't think it would even be visible in a picture. Both of my tests were taken on 10 DPO, after 5:30 p.m. I do have a picture of my Clear Blue Digital, and that one is really obvious:
Digital is my gold standard. I keep the internet wondfo's for other testing, in my experience they do not detect early pregnancy very well as the lines are very difficult to see early. So if I see something that might look like a positive on those then I use a $1.00 test from Dollar Tree. They have never been wrong in 8 years for me and I have taken many of them. The only thing with those tests is you do not look for evap lines and throw the test away after the time limit. If I see something with Dollar Tree too, no matter how light the second line is, as long as it is within the time limit I use the digital. But that really isn't needed, but it is nice to have it spelled out clearly as "pregnant".
I got a positive on Wondfo on 11DPO. Confirmed with FRER later that night! But got BFN on digital. Went in for a blood draw and had an HCG of 21 on 11 DPO.
Took a digital on the afternoon of 12 DPO and got my digital BFP. Looks like Clear Blue Easy Digital (not weeks estimator) needs at least 25 HCG for positive.
I'm 13 DPO today and all test are now much darker. Yes I keep POAS because I'm crazy!
Not sure if I'm losing my mind... I think there was too much urine on the test (the circular window certainly seems to show that) but there's a sort of diagonal line at the top that appeared after about a minute. I'm going to test again tomorrow, but who knows, maybe this will be a first BFP!
I took the bottom test yesterday and it was first POSA experience so I'm glad it was a BFP. The top one I took this morning in front of DH cause he wanted to see how they worked and felt like maybe it'd feel more real it he saw it changing! I guess the fact that the top one is darker is a good sign!!
First one was 10 dpo, second was the day of my missed period. I did one at 9dpo as well and it was a very faint line but still showed up! It was a dollar general one too.
My last period started July 31 and I didn't get it August or this month but took 3 tests, all negative. This morning, because it seemed my PMS symptoms were worse than usual, I took one not expecting to get a BFP...
Think I'm paranoid much!? Lol. The last one on bottom is from this morning. 12dpo. I've been cramping in waves all day today, waves of queeziness and boobs are off and on super sore too. Still in utter disbelief. Lol ...
I used a CVS test last night and there is a faint blue line (I didn't trust it! ) so I used a FRER this morning and the pink line was much more reassuring!
Someone help me! I can't stop pee'ing on sticks! All positive within a minute or two. From top to bottom: 13dpo a.m. Wondfo 13dpo a.m. Wondfo 13dpo a.m. FRER 13dpo p.m. Wondfo 14dpo a.m. Wondfo 15dpo a.m. Wondfo
Well I am Hoping this is what a VERY FAINT positive looks like... If I am correct I would be 12dpo, I can't tell if I am going crazy though! The picture is sideways I couldn't flip it.
I took two first response test and was really confused. The one line was very dark and I thought it was the control line. Turns out it was the test line and I was very much pregnant. I took the clear blue just to be sure and it was definitely positive. I was 5 weeks when I took my tests.

Wanted to share this for any future ladies searching the boards about the hook effect! I'm exactly 6 weeks today and have been continuing to test due to previous loss. I know there is a school of thought that a line is a line, but that has not been the case for me in the past so I find comfort in seeing that line get really dark!
My line was darker than control a few days ago and today it started to go back to the same color as the control. I diluted my urine by half and then diluted it even further and here are the results....my line went back to what it was a few days ago.
I wish I knew my betas, but I'm guessing 20,000+ from my previous betas doubling every 48 hours.
Trying not to get too excited but took a test yesterday (no pic) and had a line similar to this and just got this this morning. Can I start to get excited yet?!?
