I tested positive on 5dp5dt with what it looked like a shadow, but the line hasn’t progressed much since then. I feel like there is almost no progression, to be honest. I have had 2 chemicals and one ectopic before and these tests looks similar to the ones I had for the ectopic (unless tomorrow they will start to fade, and probably this would be the best option). What do you think?

Hard to do but best wait for OTD before retesting The tests are meant to be read in a short time scale and will fade over time Keep taking any meds you were given as directed
Looks like tit's getting darker but I really struggled using those tests on the last two BFPs when FRERs were out of stock - they weren't easy to read and worried me more. If you can get FRERs they're miles better, or Boots do a very similar version which were quite good. Only reliable way to tell though is to get your HCGs done and repeated, ideally 48hrs later - could your clinic or GP arrange these, or maybe get them done privately?
No FRER where I live (I’m outside the US). I’ve the beta scheduled by the clinic for this Monday, I’ll be at 14dp5dt but probably I won’t even be still pregnant by then, those lines are too faint to be good.
I'm sorry, it's such a hard time. I had two early losses and one later, and sometimes the lines have progressed really well and othertimes not, so it's difficult to get much from these tests. Best of luck for the beta.
I don’t want to give false hope as I know how unhelpful that can be, but don’t count yourself out just yet. Your lines look good on day 9-10 and there will be little difference just 1 day apart. I have always found those easy@home ones to be soo faint compared to other tests and so anxiety inducing! Perhaps wait longer between tests if you can like 2 days to see more of a difference. The proper pink dye ones like FRER or Boots show up with stronger lines. Ps. I buy FRER on Amazon U.K. now that they’re not in the shops. Thinking of you! Xx
My test results looking exactly like this - started out so faint but day by day they got gradually stronger and I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and had a positive scan today! Don’t lose hope yet - try to test every 48hrs rather than every 24hrs
There's definitely line progression so don't think you can count yourself out just yet. Fingers crossed for your beta but I think it may be looking good.
I really hope it's not a chemical or am ectopic but that you're on your way to having your baby. I have everything crossed for you and like others have said, try another brand of tests and see how you go. Xx
Quick update: today’s test, at 11dp5dt, was darker than yesterday, as you can see. Let’s hope they keep darkening in the next days too, but I’m scared they won’t…
