11/12 dpo - ic is way fainter than FRER?

[POG]

Bit of a long story!

I got my bfp on a test (not sure what type!) that was super faint at 8/9dpo but progressed, and then did FRER on 10dpo which was nice and strong and progressed to a stronger line at 11dpo.

I then got some ic in the post (were supposed to arrive last week but we’re delayed!!) so thought I’d do them anyway, and was expecting a good line but they’re sooo faint! So now obv I’m worrying that it’s a chemical or something.

Is it normal to have a very strong FRER and a faint ic at the same stage?

Pictures are : first pic is FRER 10dpo next to ic 11dpo
Second pic is the original tests and FRER all 9dpo
Last pic is the 3 ics I’ve taken since they arrived 11/12dpo

Just to add - the ic from 12dpo (this am) is fmu- the others are all different times of the day

Looks great, couldn’t hardly see my wondfo bfp, got a clear bfp on frer and digital same day. I believe that’s why most confirm with frer when so early. Xx

IC suck on early progression. I'd just do frer or frer with IC. I kept freaking out about my ICs this time so I used frer and saw clear progression.

ICs are ALWAYS lighter than FRER IMO

Oh thanks hun that makes me feel better! I’ve gone from crazy testing (addictive!) and worrying they’re very dark for DPO and I don’t want multiples (who even does that?!) to terrifying myself with ics!

I agree. I've spent the last week second guessing my ICs. CB Digi came up Pregnant straight away

oh geez! i literally just posted a thread just like this one. I'm having the same issue with my ICs and FRERs. Hoping for sticky beans for both of us!
