I need to put down the pregnancy tests

I've been testing daily with Wondfos and they are stressing me out. They are positive but I'm stressing they aren't getting dark enough. I decided to stop testing with them.

I have one FRER left and I'll use it Tuesday at 5 weeks.

Keeping testing is just giving me anxiety. I keep looking at what other peoples tests look like on 15 and 16 dpo on FF and they all vary.

Re: I need to put down the pregnancy tests

  • My tests didn't start to get really dark untill 5 weeks or so. If you take one everyday it's hard to see the difference, but wait 3 or 4 days, and you'll see a big difference! But yes, there really is no need to keep testing, your pregnant, congrats!

    I totally relate. I had 20 wondfo pregnancy tests, and I seriously took one every single day from 7 days po until I got my tiny hint of a line at 11 days po. Then I tested every day/every other day so I could see the line getting darker. I'm at 5 weeks, and out of the 20 I started with, I have two left. 15 days po mine looked medium pink, a few shades lighter than the control line. My husband thought I was creepy for saving things I peed on, so I don't have pictures.

     Seriously, I think those wondfo strips are so addictive. I feel like I'm doing science experiments in my bathroom.

  • I have the same problem! I've cut back to one every other day now tho so I'm making progress! This might be our last baby so I know I'll miss the magical ability to make two lines appear when I can't anymore! :)

  • Hahaha i'm doing the same thing and i'm going nuts because of it!
  • Hey! I'm in the same boat here!

    I'll be 5 weeks on Wednesday and I can't stop peeing on Wondfos. The last three days my tests have been too similar for my liking (just about as dark as the control) so my PgAL brain has been in overdrive. I've considered just testing every other day...I just don't know if I can do it.

  • I was doing the same thing, and when the line was faint, I would wind my self up into a panic. I finally stopped taking tests, i realized what is meant to be will be. Besides my body is in charge not my mind. It will be best if I just relish in the moments, you're only 6 weeks pregnant for one week, enjoy it! 
  • Glad to know I'm not alone. I'll do one more test on Tuesday with my FRER, but after that, no more.


  • I thought it was just me. I'm trying my hardest not to take any more test! :) I have a doctor's appointment in 30 minutes though! WHOOO OOHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • Mine wasn't very dark either but my doctor told me at about 6 weeks it will show up dark! Good luck!
