I took a test at 11 dpo and had faint positive, then today at 12 dpo and it was lighter.
If the line gets fainter the next day is it always a bad sign? Anyone have this experience and still have a good outcome? I am so worried because I had chemical pregnancies before but never had a test positive this early. They have always been positive a week after my period is due and I'll have spotting all week beforehand before losing the pregnancy. I'm taking oral progesterone because of the recent chemical pregnancies.

I am having this exact problem at the moment. I am 17 dpo had 3 clear BFP over the past 3 days then this morning tested and the line was heaps lighter. I rang my doctor (given that this is my third pregnancy this year as two others have resulted in very early miscarriage) and told me that a positive is a positive regardless of how dark the line is and that testing daily is not an accurate way of monitoring development. I'm just keeping everything crossed that this one sticks!

Thanks for answering! I hope it's just very early and anything at all is a good sign for us. I think my AF is due tomorrow. I usually spotted by now when I was having my chemical pregnancies, so I'm really crossing my fingers. I am still getting faint positives, today was maybe a little more visible like the first day but still very faint. Maybe they could be different based on hydration status (diluted urine vs. dark yellow) each morning?
Glad to hear the doc said it's not an accurate way to monitor development.
I called my doctor to see if he will do a sequential blood test this week to make sure it's doubling...waiting for a response. Good luck ladies, I am crossing my fingers for both of you and have high hopes!
