Question

Faint + not getting darker

I started testing at 8dpo. Now I'm 11dpo, and the tests have not gotten any darker. I'm wondering if it's a chemical pregnancy. Anyone have very faint lines for a couple days?

I had this happen this earlier this month. I got faint positive 2 days past AF then lighter lines then negatives.. Chemical pregnancy; bleeding started one week late. I hope this is not the case for you. Best of luck!

Depending on what test you use, it could be a chemical or it could be a normal pregnancy. The lines of my frer test with my son did not get much darker from 9-11dpo, but my internet cheapies did. Then after 12dpo, the frer had a clear difference. Even though my line was only a strong positive at 13dpi, my hcg was 500 at 15dpo, so you can't always pit too much stock in the strength of lines, especially testing daily.
