question about pregnancy tests *PICS ATTACHED

[purplecat]

Im just curious if they stop getting darker after a certain point. One is 16dpo and the other is 18dpo. Im a little worried because the line doesnt seem as dark? Help...im concerned.

I found on the IC i used it was generally around 5 weeks/ 21 dpo if not a little before when it became pointless testing for progression as the tests had got as dark as they could.

I just thought they would get as dark as the control line. They dont seem that dark

The cheapie $ store ones don't get that dark!

 

[purplecat]

Oh really?! I was freaking out because it didnt get darker after 48hours. Im going to stop testing or ill worry myself sick!

My cheapo tests aren't dark at all just noticeable.

 

[Johnsa37]

Yup, don't worry! Those are not very good for showing progression!

 

[purplecat]

Omg thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! First tri is SO full of worry!

 

[Petzy]

once you get that dark, you should just go for bloodwork! hard to get darker than that! Congrats

 

[purplecat]

Haha ya i went for bloodwprk the day i took the 16dpo test but because of holidays i wouldnt hear anythi.g so i justwanted to see progression. Bad idea lol. The doctor told me that no news is good news so they arent going to call me to give me my beta or anything. They just did bloodwork for confromation.

I was already 8 weeks when I first tested with a cheap dollar store test, was really light, even though less than a week later I heard a heartbeat and saw a little jellybean!

 

[purplecat]

Does mine seem pretty dark for being just over 4weeks? Was yours light like mine or lighter.

 

[purplecat]

The lighter one was my 12dpo test and darker was 16dpo test. Pretty good progression or no?
