Faint BFP not getting darker--Help please?

Hi ladies

I recently did IVF for the 3rd time this year in hopes of getting a second child.  On what would be the equivalent of 11dpo (this past Sunday) i got an extremely faint line on an FRER (im talking a squinter/tilt kind of line).  Since then I have taken 5 more tests.  Yesterdays mid afternoon test appeared 'darker' but still very faint, but pink, and obvious to DH and my mom.  Today's tests are stil so so faint and not as dark as yesterdays test.  I refuse to believe these are evaps, but am concnerned about this being a chemical pg since the lines are not getting darker and its been 48 hours.  Any stories good or bad would be appreciated. 

Oh and I have used FRER for all of them

    Are they doing betas for you?  I would wait for those and stop peeing on things in the mean time for peace of mind.  Congrats!

    My lines were super faint when I tested, I don't think it meant anything. I wouldn't worry too much; a line is a line :)

    you shouldn't be POAS at 11dpo after a cycle of IVF. I am assuming you know this, right? I mean I get there is the temptation - but you're gonna drive yourself nuts.

    I peed for this IVF cycle, but I was 16dpo and it was the day before my bloodwork. There is nothing you can do but wait. You might have remaining HCG in your system from the trigger shot & all you're doing is screwing with your mind & wasting $$ on pee sticks.

    Nol I tested out the trigger it was gone last Wed.  and I got a BFP with my son 7 days past a 3 day transfer last time.  I am now 10 days past a 3 day , so its def not too early...

    I get what you are saying, but IVF or cycle or not, you're testing early. There is nothing you can do until you have a blood test. The line doesn't always get darker with HPT's.

    I agree. While it is possible to predict a chemical pregnancy with fading tests (I know from experience, trust me), you are way too early for that. At this stage of things, the lines stay faint for a few days.

    I would call for betas at this point.

    Good luck!
