Questionable positive?

So my hcg strips continue to show a positive line that is half the darkness of the control line, consistently over the last week. Doc said wait til next week to see if there's a difference, but we've been trying for over a year....there's no patience! The clear blue test was clearly positive. I have low back pain, and crazy bloating and gas, and feel excessively tired. I believe I'm pregnant but is there any reason to think otherwise? Here's the two tests taken on the same day .... Any thoughts?

Re: Questionable positive?

  • Definately positive!

  • You can't judge how pregnant you are by the darkness. I'd ask your doctor for a HCG blood test if you're concerned!

  • Dont worry at all- My wondfos don't get darker either. I got a BFP at 13dpo and it was super light on the wondfos but clearer on the FRER. I took another test yesterday (17dpo) and wondfos were about same darkness as yours, FRER was much darker (lines were about same color)

    Congrats!

  • ABSOLUTELY positive. Why don`t you have bloodwork done for beta HCG? Everythink would be clear. It has to double every 2 days.

  • Thanks so much everyone! That reassures my pesimisstic mind to have a little faith! I asked the nurse last week to bring me in for a test, which is when she said to wait til next week, as she said it would be the same type of test they do in the office.... Aka urine hcg. She, nor I mentioned blood test, but maybe I will on Monday when she calls me for the first official questions call. She also said to wait because "sometimes when we want it so bad, we make it up in our heads that we are pregnant when we really aren't.". Excuse me what???? she gets her second chance monday to make a better impression on me! But my cramping/bloating/achy body/bigger sore boobs/fatigue all tell me to enjoy my little Appleseed sized baby in there and be patient!!! Thanks again everyone!!!
  • My wondfo strip wasn't dark at all either and I took a digital and it said "pregnant!"  Then I went in for the urine test at the doctors and it too confirmed.  Girl, you are KU!!  Congratulations! =)

    ..Btw, your nurse sounds stupid.

    My dr. didn`t believe when I came with a positive pregnancy test... I was 10 DPO . Then she believed me, at 5 w we saw the sac. She didn`t even want to look at my test!

  • look clear positive to me! I have the same single-strip tests and mine was much lighter than that today. My doc told me they can get blood tests back by next day and they are sometimes more sensitive. Sticky Baby Dust all over you!
