Sensitive - Is my 12dp5dt line lighter?

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice/reassurance.

I had a chemical in September 2020 followed by a BFN in December. I transferred my last two embryos 12 days ago and have surprised myself how frightened I became the minute I got a positive that I was having another chemical - as you can probably tell by my testing mania 🤦🏼‍♀️ I know I should walk away but my clinic don’t do bloods and I feel like I need them to accept that it’s true.

All tests taken in the morning. Are my lines dark enough at this point? I’m convinced 12dpt5dt is lighter than 10 and 11.

Love to all x

I don’t think those tests are very accurate at telling you your hgc levels but line concentration/ colour. I have used them myself when testing in the past and found I got a couple of days they were a little lighter even with first morning wee but I still very much had hgc in my blood. I don’t think you see much difference on the tests in a day. I think the only way you know if this is a chemical is to test again in a couple of days or ask clinic for a blood test. Your lines look clear and dark though so reasons to be cautiously hopeful.

Thank you for replying! I did wonder whether I should move away from these Amazon cheapies. I’ll invest in a FRER and take on Saturday (day 14) xx

Looks like lovely line progression to me! Congratulations! You could maybe pay for a private HCG blood test if it would ease your anxiety? But your tests definitely don’t look like a chemical. Good luck!xxx

Thank you!! I’m going to call my clinic in the morning and do just this I think. I seem to wake up to pee at 2:30-3am the last few nights and then lie awake for hours anxious. Anything that’ll calm me down is worth it xxx

Looking good but try to wait for your OTD before testing again Thinking of you

Looks good so far 🤗 it’s hard not to worry when you have seen it go backwards before but those lines defo dont look like what happened with my chemical. Wishing you the best of luck xx
