BFP line getting fainter?

Hey everyone! I just got my BFP yesterday at 9 dpo on 2 HPT's on my 8th cycle TTC. This morning I POAS again and the line seems a little bit fainter. Wouldn't it be getting darker? I am just nervous because it is so early...What do you guys think?

  • I was told that different tests can have different amounts of dye in them.

    At 9 dpo it's still so early. For peace of mind, wait a few days before you test again if that's what you want to do.

    I tested daily for 6 days after my first bfp, and I swear sometimes the line was getting lighter, but here I am, still pregnant :)

     The downside of testing early, is chemical pregnancy. Most women never knew they were pregnant when they had a CP because they hadn't missed a period yet, and then a period would start around the same time. Because of earlier testing we are more aware of them. Not trying to worry you, just trying to be honest.

    Some people swear that the line gets darker the further along you are, but it's really about the ammount of dye in the test.

    I had a fainter line at 8 weeks than I did when I first tested.

    Hang in there, lady. A line is a line. Have you had a ton of water to drink or something similar? I've turned into a camel and if I test anything other than FMU - my line can appear fainter. It freaked me out the first time. Granted, I admit to testing with IC's everyday because after FridgeGate the med unit still hasn't retested and put the seal of agreement on my KU status. Tuesday. They retest this Tuesday. Then I will feel official.
