Tests darker in afternoon

[Alexm06]

Hi I wonder if someone can help me. I feared this morning I was having a chemical but then did a test this afternoon and now I’m just confused. Has anyone experienced this before? Is it still a chemical? I’ve had one before but the lines were never dark only super faint.

Thanks In advance guys

Doesn’t look like a chemical to me - the lines are nicely dark and getting darker

Some women just get more accurate tests in the evening - loads of people will reply to your post and tell you that so don’t panic!

Congratulations!! x

Hey lovely,

My tests are always like this! First morning wee I would get a super faint line and then dark in the evenings so please don’t worry. As Daisy said, some people just test better in the PM rather than AM, it’s actually quite common. If you’re testing daily, try and keep to the same time of day xx

God it’s soo weird isn’t it. Yeah My evening tests were both around 5pm. Thank you for your reply x

Mine were always darker in the afternoons/evenings than mornings (even later in the morning was darker than first thing) - I freaked out the first time and ended up testing twice a day to compare like with like - cost me a fortune in FRERs! Better to just do PM's if that's when they're stronger for you and ideally look for a darkening over a couple of days not every day as it can be a bit difficult to tell sometimes. Best of luck!

Haha yeah i brought some more yesterday! And they are soooo expensive. This mornings one wasn’t a light line probably the same as the evenings so I guess that’s good. Thank you for replying x

Congratulations! That must put your mind at rest. Best of luck with your pregnancy x

Hey! Don't worry I had the exact same thing

For some reason our afternoon/evening pee is stronger than morning

Look on my post that say help lines getting lighter, I too thought I was having a chemical then tested in the afternoon and lines were dark again.

I had my scan couple weeks later and baby was measuring on track with a heartbeat

Congratulations! ❤

Oh yeah I can see the lines it doesn’t make sense haha why can’t we just have strong morning lines haha. Congrats to you too! X

Looks like you’re pregnant to me! If you hadn’t tested early (and generally you “shouldn’t” according to clinics) then you wouldn’t know what the other lines look like and you’d have a clear 2 line pregnancy test. Urine can have different concentrates of HCG so I don’t think that’s anything to worry about. Line looks pretty clear to me at day 10 and even if it didn’t and you had no other tests, I be saying

CONGRATULATIONS 🥳
