Fading BFP??? *long-ish

Okay ladies I was all geared up to share a BFP this morning but now I don't know what to think.

Today is 10 dpo.  Yesterday morning I tested on a wondfo and thought I saw the faintest of faint lines.  Like really, really faint, DH didn't even see what I was talking about.  I counted it as neg and bought a box of FRERs.  So last night I held my pee for as long as I could and tested before bed on a FRER and got a pretty clear BFP.  No squinting required, it was light, but it was undeniably a line.  I dipped a digi too (came free with my CBEFM), and it said not pregnant.  I felt stupid for wasting a digi because I know that they're not quite as sensitive as the FRERs.  I decided to wait until this morning to confirm.

So then this morning after about 7 hours of sleep I tested again with a FRER and there's a much, much lighter line.  It's almost as light as an evap line, except it does have some color to it.  The other kicker is that I forgot to temp because I was excited to test, so I took my temp after and of course it's high because I was up moving around a lot so I don't even know what it would have been.  Do you think I should try to curb my excitement until I see darker lines?  Is it too early to think that I might have something here?

Fingers crossed for you! I hope this is truly your BFP! I've never gotten a positive so I don't have advice, other than to keep testing tomorrow! Good Luck!

Hmm this is a tough one. If I were you I would wait until at least 14 to 15 DPO to test again. I hope it ends up being a BFP for you good luck!!

I would keep testing, or wait to test again like PP said. When you're pregnant, your body adusts to the HCG in your system, so a dark line v light line doesn't mean all that much.

I understand the uncertainty and perhaps fear, but a line is indeed a line and right now, I'd say you're pregnant.

I know it's hard, but this early I wouldn't be too worried about the darkness of lines.  I know I couldn't wait a few days, but I would wait until tomorrow morning to test again.  Try to keep yourself busy today so you don't think about it too much.  GL!

This is a tough one, as hard as it is, really only time will tell.  My last bfp ended up as a chemical PG and the positives I got were always pretty light.  I would try to hold off for another day or two and test again, at 12-13 dpo you should have a pretty clear answer.

I agree, I would test again later, or at the latest tomorrow morning, with a Wondfo. Since that what's what you got the initial BFP on, see if its gotten any darker on those. GL!

I don't know if you can read into the darkness of the lines, but I could be wrong! I would test again tomorrow, maybe with a digi again? I don't know!

FX for you!! I would definitely wait a few more days, at least until 14DPO. I know waiting is going to be tough, but it will drive you crazy to keep testing every day (or twice a day). The BFP from last night seems good, but still, you may want to wait and see a few days later with FMU.

Thanks ladies.  I'll probably try again tomorrow morning because I have no patience.  I've never really been bothered by early BFNs but this is kind of sucky.  I'll try to stay busy during the day today.  I have big plans to go to a David Sedaris reading tonight so at least that will keep me from peeing on things until the morning.

I wouldnt loose hope yet.  Wait and test again tomorrow morning.

I didnt get a BFP with DS until 14DPO so sometimes it takes time.

Hope this is it for you - good luck!

Exactly this. Plus, the amount of dye in a test isn't always the same, so some look lighter or darker, but either way, a line is a line.

GL to you. I also understand uncertainty, but for right now you are pregnant.

With DD I got a pretty light line on a FRER, and it was past 14 dpo that I tested, so you're right, darkness vs. lightness can go either way. Try not to fret over the line darkness too much!

This. unfortunately I had the exact same experience last month. I could get positives on FRER but not digitals or a walmart brand I had. They were super light, I had one day darken then it lightened again. It ended up being a CP for me. I hope this is not the case for you, but FRER tests can pick up a ridiculously small amount of HCG, I still had a super faint positive the day my betas were at a 3 (which isn't even considered positive)

Ok. I tried to walk away from this, but seriously? Why are the responders here being all "sounds like my mc/cp"? Do you have no concept of ettiquette? You don't tell someone their situation sounds just like your mc. EVER.

OP, I think you should take another test, and I think that right now, this moment, you are pregnant, (unless you waited too long to read the tests). FRER's are rarely wrong, but wondfos can easily be. A wondfo once told me my toilet was pregnant.

Just keep testing...! You definitely are/were pregnant, but you could end up with a chemical pregnancy if the lines are getting lighter instead of darker. I'm really sorry if that ends up happening to you. I hope that you are pregnant with a sticky baby!!

I'm going to question where all the ladies are who normally say a line is a line regardless of how dark or faint. You saw a faint line on a wondfo and a darker line on a FRER....to me this is CONGRATS! Test again in a few days if you'd like the digi to say pregnant, but from what I've learned off here, the lines can be dark or faint because of the dye...

Last night when DH questioned it I told him that a line is a line (it was about 25% as dark as the control).  My hesitation comes from the line being significantly lighter (almost an evap) this morning with FMU.  I just don't want to get excited yet when the tests seem to contradict the logic that there would be more hCG for them to detect in the morning.  Also they were from the same box.

I can understand your hesitation. Maybe i'm just stubborn, but to me no two tests will ever be completely made the same, so even same box, same batch, the dyes could be off.
I know people like testing with FMU because is supposed to be more concentrated, but I believe it its still accurate if you've held for at least three to four hours. I just think the digi hadn't picked it up yet because it's not as sensitive and I know that will bring some peace of mind.

I have my fingers crossed for you in any event and hope it all works out for you!

Also, my original post was directed at everyone else, not you. I normally see every one so quick to reassure, not say it's a cp, ya know?
