When should the line get darker?

[emicakess]

I got a v faint bfp on Friday. It was definitely pink and I tested 2 other times that day, all v faint pink BFPs. Does anyone know when the line should get darker? I am so nervous to loose this baby.. I tested again today and the line isnt lighter but it isnt darker. Its the same as 2 days ago. Is that normal? I thought your HCG should double every 2 days?

I was 11 DPO when I got my +. I am 13 DPO today.

It should double every 48-72 hours so don't worry too much!
Plus some tests have less dye than others so it may be that!

Thank you Leah... Here is a picture, any opinions??

The second one is darker hun. Not by much, but defo darker. It a l ways takes me about a week after the initial bfp to get a good dark line

 

[LeahLou]

I agree! It's a tad darker

 

[emicakess]

And thats dark enough for two days later you think??? Lol I am a nervous wreck after my MMC.

 

[LeahLou]

I will be too whenever it happens again.
As long as they're not getting lighter, that's a good sign

 

[noshowjo]

its darker to me to

It's definitely darker Hun. And I'm one of those freaks of nature that actually doesn't get along to well with FRERs. Even my IC lines are better than my FRER lines. Maybe try a different brand. But don't worry. There is definitely progression there.

Thank you for the support everyone! I guess I was just expecting it to be a lot darker but I see that its slightly darker now My last pregnancy I got a faint line FMU 8 dpo and a blazing line at 11 pm... So I was sorta expecting that. But every pregnancy is different eh Bubs I dont really like FRERs either but I am saving my Answer test for a few days I also have 2 $ tests for fun

I find frers always look pale at first and take awhile to get dark but it defo looks like it's progressing good luck xxx

 

[camerashy]

Is def getting darker

 

[emicakess]

Thank you for the support everyone! Its like its not enough to get a BFP now I need it to get darker!!! lol

 

[emicakess]

Just wanted to update... I am very happy with this progression My lack of symptoms is weird but I am still early

 

[LeahLou]

Yay!!!! If you're only 4 weeks no worries about symptoms! Some lucky people don't get them!
Congrats again

 

[HannahTTC]

Beautiful congrats

In 6 weeks time you'll be sick to death of your symptoms! Ha ha. I started my food aversions and heightened sense of smell at almost 5 weeks (that's why I tested), fatigue started about 7 weeks and my boobs have only just started hurting in the last few days!! So yes, lots of time for symptoms. Try and enjoy it! Lovely lines. Well done.

 

[emicakess]

That test I took this morning just makes me smile from ear to ear!!! I was feeling crappy until I saw that.. my OB scheduled me an early ultrasound for dec. 5th (5 1/2 weeks) because I have had a miscarriage before so I am nervous about that (not sure what they will be looking for?) But I'm sure everything will be fine I am having some symptoms but not a lot (YET lol). I have fatique that gets really bad around 4 pm every day, and sore hips/legs. But thats about it.

Do you ladies think its alright to be drinking 8 oz of half caff coffee a day?

 

[LeahLou]

Sounds good! Glad you're having an early US

Yes, it's fine to have coffee

 

[Ellie Bean]

Congrats great progression. I was told 8oz daily is fine.
