I got my first positive 9/25 and so far the line has been getting darker each day! I was SO shocked when I saw a line. I was 99% sure I was out this cycle. I believe I implanted 9 or 10 dpo. Cant believe this is real!!

Tests included in the pic
Clear blue digital - taken 9/27
Clear blue early assurance red dye - taken 9/27
First Response early result - taken 9/26
Easy @ home - taken 9/27

My period started 13 dpo, just as expected. It was a fairly normal period- two days of medium to heavy flow. I usually have a third day of light flow or spotting, but ended up having light flow that started/stopped for three days instead of the usual one. I noticed EWCM today and thought that was a bit strange so early in my cycle so I took an OPK that was very close to positive— definitely unusual for what I thought was CD6, so I took 4 HPTs— all positive, including the digital.

I had taken a clear blue pink dye and Wondfo the morning of my “period” starting and the clear blue was very negative. I had been seeing the absolute faintest of lines of the Wondfo tests starting 11dpo but swore they were indents.

I’m nervous about how light these lines are for what I think is 18dpo? Was the bleeding a chemical and the tests just haven’t gone back to negative yet? My ovulation date was calculated based on OPKs, bbt, and CM.

This is also midday urine (although pretty concentrated).

TW if needed : miscarriage and ectopic mentioned

Hi everyone !

Our way of having our 1st child is really rocky : first try was a miscarriage following try was an ectopic.I am not sure if there is a fade line or if the test looks faulty or anything.

Do you see something ? Am I just tripping ?

My husband suggest I have my blood tested for bHCG levels tomorrow, so I have an appointment. To him, the line is super light but there is still a line.

Thank you for reading me !

I am in complete shock. We were told at the beginning of the month that we had a severe male factor fertility issue and our odds of conceiving naturally were very very low. It was tough news and i decided to not track at all this month and just take time to process and figure out our plan moving forward. I was feeling odd the past few days but completely wrote it off because pregnancy was “highly unlikely” 😅 my period didn’t show the day it was due and…surprise! Haha

At 9, 10, 11 DPO I tested positive. After that, several negatives so a supposed chemical. 2 weeks ago, (I thought) the miscarriage started.

this week I had 7 positive ovulation tests in a row. since this is not a normal timeframe for ovulation, it made me wonder. I dont know why but based on a vague feeling I took a pregnancy test, which was positive. I did two other tests from different brands which turn out to be very positive as well.

could i be pregnant despite the bleeding/supposed miscarriage? i could not have gotten pregnant in the meantime.

i am sorry if this is TMI but I am freaking out and hoping someone has had a similar experience. since it is Sunday and I cannot call the doctor.

Thank you

Hi! For context, I have a 4 year old daughter (June 2022) who we got pregnant with on the first try. I’ve been pregnant two other times since then and have had two back to back miscarriages (September 2025 and January 2026) due to two different chromosomal abnormalities.

I am a week late which isn’t totally abnormal for my period to be late (PCOS), so I took a cheapy test and there was a super faint line. I took a digital and it came back positive. This was all on Saturday morning.

Since then I’ve taken a strip test every day and the line isn’t progressing at all like in my other 3 pregnancies.

The first day of my last period was September 6.

I likely ovulated around Sept 22 (I got a rising LH but stupid me stopped testing after it started to lighten on the 23rd.)

We did the deed on Sept 18 and 26 and aren’t necessarily trying but also not trying. According to the app I would be CD38 today and 21DPO IF I actually ovulated on the 22.

I got my HCG drawn yesterday and go back in 48 hours, but just wondering anyone else’s opinion?? Or if you had a similar experience? I’ve never had THIS faint of a line a week after missed period. Usually it’s much darker by now. With all 3 of my pregnancies I had positive pregnancy tests 10DPO that would have been SUPER dark at this point.

The line tests in the photo- the first two line tests were the faint positive I had to Saturday. Then they go in order (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, last one is today). I do see the line is slightly darker but I just don’t think it’s progressing as it should…

Thank you for listening 🙏🏼

Literally almost gave up on the idea of being a mama. Trying to stay calm and not stress out about the previous losses, being a high risk pregnancy, being in my mid 40s, being over weight. So many things are counting against this but I’m just believing that this is finally my time. 💙

I tested positive with Wondflo strips faint line on 10 DPO, and took digital test the next day when faint line didn’t seem darker. Clearly positive for several days. I had a bad feeling though (I had chemical in January and 13 weeks miscarriage in April), so I took another test a few days later. I first took the FR strip, which is not early detection. You could barely see line, which surprised me so with the same FMU in Dixie cup, I tested with FRER and there was basically no line. I told my mom that I thought the pregnancy was over. The next morning I got another ClearBlue digital (last photo) and it said Not Pregnant, so I informed my husband it was a no go and that I’d probably start bleeding within a day or two. I started spotting the next day with small clots, light bleeding in days since. Minimal cramps. Sigh. Wanted to share what the tests looked like for me and how I knew something was wrong from them, therefore was prepared for bleeding to start. No symptoms before spotting, just fear/anxiety/gut feeling. 3 losses in a year is too much! But I got pregnant immediately after CP in January, so hopefully for a healthy egg to drop! I just turned 40 recently, gotta still be some h

Good morning!

After a faint line around 10 or 11 DPO, I've now retested and I am definitely pregnant. I'm so so happy!

I had a loss in September and was worried it would take me awhile to get pregnant again (it took us 6 months to concieve my first pregnancy), but here we are!

I am so grateful to be pregnant again and doing my best to fight off any anxieties deriving from the unfortunate way my first pregnancy went. I just want to cherish this pregnancy and trust that everything will be okay :)

I can't wait to meet my rainbow baby next summer!! :)

I'M SO RELIEVED!!! I was too scared to see a fainting positive like last cycle's chemical (12 DPO and 15 DPO for comparison), so I used every brand of test I own 🤣

This is our 14th cycle trying, I never even imagined *I* could have such a strong positive on 15DPO after over a year of negatives 💓✨✨

After two years of negative tests, then almost 2 months out from a chemical and 5 months out from an early loss, I got my beta back for 18 DPO, we’re at 2202, a 197% increase from 16 DPO! These tests were taken with SMU on 19!

Praying my Star Wars baby (DD May the 4th) will stick this out with me
🙏🏻 🤞🏻

All these photos were taken immediately within the test window (not dried) with FMU. I got similar lines yesterday but posted and was told the FRER was an indent so I assumed it was all in my head. Is this all indent territory and I’m just having the worst luck ever? Also wouldn’t they be much darker for 11 or 12DPO?

I'm pretty positive this is going to be a chemical pregnancy or early MC but would love to hear what others think? I don't know exact DPO but believe the first test was 8 or 9 DPO (I test positive early) which would make today 13 or 14 DPO. With my prior successful pregnancies the lines have gotten darker much more quickly even with easy@home (though that was over 2 years ago so not sure if the tests have changed....). The FRER test is from this morning 6/3 as is the last test in progression.

I'm 35, no kids, and was not expecting this today!

Woke up this morning and knew I was pregnant.

I checked, double checked and checked again for good luck.

Was our first month of 'not preventing'.

I posted earlier with only FRER, I took 2 digitals today and they were both negative so I wasn’t to sure, then I got a faint line and got a couple more tests out and used different urine for the clear blue and strips!! ( I have pcos and this is my 5th round of letrozole, 1st on 7.5mg) I’m so excited but don’t wanna get my hopes up!

TW: I had a missed miscarriage in August at 11 weeks. Used misoprostol and got the ultrasound a few weeks after to confirm no tissue and finally a negative test Sept 15. Literally got my period the next day.

So we are trying to actually be in the "give it 3 months" to heal stage. I have been tracking using wondfo OPKs. Well. I guess bc I do enjoy peeing on sticks, I did it even after I ovulated. And I noticed this week, it was blazing positive. So I took my wondfo pregnancy strip (first pic) at 13 DPO. If I squinted really hard, I thought I saw something but it looked more like a shadow and it was definitely outside of the 5 minutes.

Next morning, another blazing positive ovulation test. No period (though mine can range from 28-32 days). So I decided to order a first response kit on Amazon 😆. I just knew I was crazy. The GASP I gasped when the first line was showing before the urine had even gone through the test.

I used a stick this morning for the bottom pick.

But. I'm very confused. One, literally we had sex once before ovulation (5 days before... But I guess that's the one and I've read it can happen). We have only had sex after ovulation because we were trying to do the whole body/mind healing like the doctor suggested (though she did reinforce we can try whenever). And then two, what is up with the Wondfo?! Like how did we go from that to blazing positive?! Wondfo was FMU and middle first response was just middle of day and then bottom is FMU.

We are excited but SHOCKED.

I know it’s there but after last months chemical pregnancy, I’m nervous to hope. Second picture is progression but the line is fading. Is this progression normal or am I having another chemical? Also why is my PM pee darker than my first morning urine?

Is the problem that I am testing too early? My period should come today but given this result, I don’t think it will but I don’t want to drive myself crazy analyzing these fading lines in the next week. How normal is some amount of variability in the line darkness?

OVER THE MOON EXCITED. MY FIRST POSITIVE EVER!!! We’ve been trying over 15+ months and had my fertility consultation scheduled for next week😭😭🩵💗

First response was expired a month ago so I figured that I'd use it up. My husband and I think we see very very faint lines in each, but aren't sure?

I took a pregmate on 9 dpo and got a vfl. My tests have gotten slightly darker, but do they not do well with progressions? My pack doesn’t expire until 11/27. These are both the same urine (2 hour hold) on 13 dpo and first response rapid test looks great, so I think I’m not concerned.

Hi all,

UPDATE #3: Sadly my pregnancy ended up as an ectopic. During the ultrasound 06/25 (today) there was high suspicion my right fallopian tube had ruptured. OB advised to immediately go to the ER and was prepped for emergency surgery. I sadly lost the pregnancy and my right fallopian tube. My main symptom was a stabbing pain on my right lower back, close to my hip. Pain started late afternoon (felt like muscle pain) and went away last night but came back this morning with dark red bleeding (not soaking up a pad). As the hours went the center area of my uterus was in pain, tender, etc. This was honestly an emotional nerve wrecking journey for my husband and I. I’m devastated my first pregnancy ended like this. Additionally it was my first time ever having major surgery. My heart is broken but I’m trying to take this slowly. Thank you reddit for all the responses and made me more hyper aware of what was potentially going on with my body

UPDATE #2: Ultrasound scheduled for June 25

June 18th - 318 HCG

June 20th - 768 HCG

June 22nd - 1757 HCG

UPDATE: First I want to say thank you SO much to everyone who responded. Reading everyone’s experience was insightful and I’m so sorry for anyone who has gone through an ectopic pregnancy. After seeing some of the responses I was getting really worried, so I called my OB office this morning and expressed concerns about my symptoms. They advised me to go to the ER today to get my beta-HCG checked, and an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound. I went to the ER and they didn’t find anything in my fallopian tubes or uterus, so currently there is no ectopic but it’s not definitively ruled out either since it might just be early. My HCG is around 318 as well. I spoke with my OB afterwards and they requested I get a repeat HCG in 2 days, and another in 4 days to monitor. I have another ultrasound appointment in a week. So TBD, l‘ll just have to wait and see how this progresses.

Thank you all! I appreciate the responses so much, it pushed me to call back and make sure they acknowledged my concerns and didn’t leave me hanging.

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I’m experiencing a very odd situation and hoping to get some insight if anyone experienced something similar. If I need to post this somewhere else let me know , sorry if wrong place.

My husband and I have been trying for 2 cycles so far and this last cycle I was using Inito to track my ovulation. Based on Inito I ovulated on May 27. My progesterone successfully rose May 31, but all of my pregnancy tests were negative. However I was having brown spotting around June 6-9 (10-13 DPO) which was unusual for me as I never really spot before my period. I stopped testing June 10 (13 DPO) and gave up this cycle because what appeared to be my regular period started. The last day of my period was June 14 (5 days). I started tracking again using Inito and Clearblue on June 15 and detected a LH surge (clearblue) and yesterday June 16 (Inito) which was odd for it to be detecting it this early In my cycle.

So I thought let me just do a quick pregnancy test honeslty wasn’t expecting anything. Then bam a very positive pregnancy test. I believe I’m probably 20 DPO at this point. I called my OB office right away, explained the situation and have my first appointment next week and an ultrasound around my 8 week mark in July. They didn’t seem concerned by my situation over the phone.

However, I’m still lightly brown spotting and have some very mild cramps but it ended up going away for now.

Has anyone gone through this? I’m debating about calling back tomorrow morning when they open and ask for blood work to be done. Anything specific I should ask for? I’m fearful this could be ectopic but maybe I’m just mistaken? I’m scared to be happy about this positive pregnant result.

Thank you so much in advance as this is all very new to me.

I took a Wondfo last night and thought I was having line eyes, but for I saw something that I don’t normally see on my negatives. I tested again with FMU this morning (it was a bit less of a struggle) and was still unsure, so I asked a friend. She said she could see something too and recommended getting a digital.

I went to the store and picked up a digital and a FRER, and this is what I’ve got. I know I’m still early & I’m def an early tester. These were taken with afternoon urine. I’m around 9–10 DPO, depending on which app I go by.

A little background, I have endometriosis and had preconception labs done in June. My AMH came back extremely high, so I was referred to a reproductive endocrinologist, and we just completed our bloodwork.

I’ve had some spotting today, but that’s typical for me several days before my period. I’m going to keep testing over the next few days to see if there’s any line progression. I don’t feel any different right now, and the digital says NO.

I’m curious what everyone else sees!

Period is 4 days late at this point. Took my first test on Monday at 14 Dpo. Very faint lines on the easy @ home with no progression, last test is today first thing in the morning. Top blue line is 15dpo, and bottom is 16dpo, with a Walgreens brand FRER.

Ovulation date is estimated based on OPK and EWCM. I suspect this is chemical, but open to any opinions.

I first tested positive on 11 dpo and saw a faint line on FRER and Pregmate. Lines got a little darker but I still had a sick feeling that it wasn’t right. Pretty sure this is a chemical, my second one ☹️

Update: I started bleeding around 4am of what would have been 17dpo, so literally the next morning after I made this post. I just knew in my heart something wasn’t right from the beginning.
