Completely freaking out over here. I'm currently 10dp5dt and have been testing daily since 5dp5dt. I was so relieved to be seeing the lines getting darker each day but today I've completely panicked as the line seems to be thinner and maybe a bit lighter than yesterday's? I've checked twice and its exactly the same on both tests.
Has anyone had any experience with a thinner line? Does it mean anything?
This process is the worst 😥

I tested on day 10 only as instructed by my clinic which was yesterday. I had a faint positive line, I know you should use your first wee of the day as that is the most accurate to test for HCG levels.
I am reluctant to keep testing as in my mind a positive line is that - it's positive - I don't think you can read into too much about how dark or how light, thin or fat the line is. My mate had IVF, had a faint positive line like me and her son is three yrs old, so I wouldn't worry too much.
as long as you have followed your clinics instructions on testing and its a positive contact them and book in for a scan, which at my clinic is 2 - 2 1/2 weeks after, that is where you will see what is happening
Urrgghhh its so hard to compare lines isnt it. The one yesterday will have had time to dry out and the most recent one probably hasnt yet (depending on when you took it).....I had a similar freak out when I was testing but when I looked later that day it was darker. The best comparison is from a couple of days ago which is darker! Congratulations, a line is a line!!xx
The line looks similar to the others 😊
It is still a strong line which says you are pregnant - yay!
I am sure you must be worrying, but your little baba doesn’t like panicking 😊 so try and relax knowing you still have a strong line.
