Tests...I know I shouldn’t be but...

[Kelz2020]

And I know it’s not great to but...

These are my tests... first two are first response (the ones that can be used 6 weeks early). I did two of these OTD

Second two are still first response (not the 6 week early one).

I’m now classed as 5W 3D why is the line on the right getting lighter. Should I be worried.

Testing like this does isn’t healthy I know... and it seems I don’t understand tests that’s well in terms of what controls what...

Hi there. Don't worry! When the test line gets really dark it takes dye from the control line.. so the control line gets lighter. It's a great sign that your test line is darker!!! Congratulations!!!!

❤️❤️❤️

Also at this stage testing is of no use as you won't see changes in test line really because it's maxed out because HCG so high. So step away from the tests😂😂😂

Thanks for replying. I know they mean nothing as such...helps if I understand what’s what...

Ok so I’m going sound dumb... which line is what?! Xx

[Tryagain45 in reply to Kelz2020]

The line on the left is the test line...HCG turns it's pink. The one on the right is the control line ...just tells you that the test has worked. X

Thanks for explaining. How dumb of me to not know which line is what xx

The early early days are some of the longest most worrying times. After the stress of infertility treatment you expect its all over as soon as you get that positive when its actually worse.

Try to stop worrying and relax, i know its easier said than done. Be grateful for each milestone ☺️

As others have said it looks like the test like in darker than the control line which is a really good thing, means your hcg is super high xx

Yeah I’m sorry I’m a night mare. I also feel embarrassed that I didn’t really understand the tests. I also know these are no real proof in the sand and the scan is. It’s two weeks today and feels like forever as I’ve not had many symptoms. Thanks for replying. Xx

I was like you...I did 2 tests at OTD did another just before 7wk scan and another just before 10 weeks... lol xx if it makes you feel better and reassures you that youre still pregnant (my reason) go for it xxx congrats

Glad I’m not the only silly billy. Truth is I know it’s not safe until you’re due but you’re right it’s almost like reassurance. I’ve not had many symptoms - I know it’s early days still. Bless you and I hope your journey is going well still? Xx

It's OK I did exactly the same and panicked. Thanks to this forum I learnt something about testing to and dye stealers. I'm currently waiting for my 7 week scan and it's just has bad as the 2ww

[Kelz2020 in reply to Sarah_rich19]

Bless you. I said I wouldn’t come onto forums but I’m so glad I did. This forum has some lovely people in it 😃. I hear you on the wait, mines on 24th. Sending positively and hope your way, all will be just fine, you’ll see xx

When your hCG gets nice and high the test line steals the dye from the control line which is always good to see!xx
