Excuse me if this is something that gets asked often. I haven't been on these boards in a really long time. I found out I was pregnant at 10DPO with a faint positive on a FRER. At 12dpo, it was looking a good bit darker. Since then, it has remained unchanged in color. Today, at 15dpo, I think it's actually a bit fainter. (This is comparing all with SMU)
It's really faint to be 15dpo...especially since my past 3 pregnancies had "darker than the control" lines at 11-12dpo. This line is no where near the control. I know people say HPT's aren't quantitative, but in all honesty, they've always worked that way for me.
Anyone had this happen and had a good outcome? My first appt isn't until Wednesday and my dr's office doesn't routinely check betas. I'm definitely a realist, so I'd rather hear your truthful opinion than false hope. TIA.

You can't base your theories on hcg levels on tests when you're using SMU. You either need to stop peeing on sticks to keep from driving yourself nuts or only test with FMU.
Your urine could be way too diluted to see any darkening lines, especially this early of DPO. While its completely probable that you will get positive tests at this point, you have to use FMU to compare them.

Also, to whomever said you can't test with SMU - I test much better with SMU. My test lines show up better than with FMU. I know of several other people who say the same thing. I don't know what it is, but it works better for me.
