Is this way too faint for 17dpo?

[FartyBum]

Hi there

First post

Do you think that this BFP is a bit too faint for 17dpo? It's afternoon urine. (I could be 18dpo but I'm nearly sure I'm 17dpo)

Just looking for opinions please.

Thanks folks

Ha ha thanks, I'm a particularly gassy lady!

I'm just freaking myself out googling other people's images of their 17dpo/18dpo BFPs and everyone's seems to be mega dark compared to mine!

Driving myself demented so I'm going to try get blood testing done ASAP.

Iv never had very strong lines till i was 5.5-6 weeks hun, and i have 3 healthy babies already so i really wouldn't worry about your line its lovely and strong x

Awwww thanks so much! Freaking myself out googling images of other 17dpo BFPs and they're all so so dark, I'm starting to doubt myself!

I'd love if you could take a glimpse at these? I've been testing for a week, at different times of day but they are in date order.

That is so good to hear! Thanks so much!

These are my tests from the past week, in date order, taken at different times of the day. They don't seem to be getting much darker, should I go to my doctor this week, do you think?

Thanks so so so much, I'm freaking myself out googling other people's BFPs. The internet is our best friend but also our worst enemy!!

Stop testing!

I'm not sure what the protocol is where you live, but here we visit our gp when we get a BFP, so it's worth making that visit, especially if you're anxious.

Your lines will appear darker at different times, this pregnancy was a surprise and when I did test I really wasn't expecting a line, but the control line turned super dark before the control had even appeared, I used about 10 tests that day all that dark, over the next few days I tested again and again and some were very light in comparison, I'm almost 12 weeks now and had 3 scans thus far so obviously them changing in darkness doesn't mean much. Congrats again.

I know I need to stop testing!

I've been to my GP, she took one look at my tests (the super super light ones) and she said "yep they're positives, I don't need to do one here, I'm satisfed with those, get in touch with whatever hospital you choose and congratulations, bye now, that'll be €65 please"

Hmmmmmm...

Thank you Linny, was feeling a bit down looking at other people's beautiful dark lines at 18dpo, you're very kind!

 

[redlemonade]

Well that's good isn't it? It's such a confusing time though, I'm learning everything as I go

Enjoy this time, it's magical.

Yep, kind of! Fell pregnant at 19 and it was rather confusing but that baby didn't ever materialise. I still to this day don't know why. Miscarriage I think...

TERRIFIED of it happening again. So many sad stories from people who have had so so many MCs and CPs. Heart breaking stuff.
