Well girls, I am not feeling so well about all this right now. I took another test, and I'm sure my positive lines are getting lighter instead of darker. I am late for AF today, 14 DPO, and I know everyone is different, but I keep seeing all these beautiful BFP's, and mine just isn't looking the right to me. I've been pregnant before, and I have seen the lines get darker. I took a FRER this afternoon, and as soon as I saw the results, I just got a sinking pit in the bottom of my stomach. It is just so light, I almost cannot see it. I just wish I could feel good about this. I just don't. I hope I'm wrong...............................

I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope that the test just had less dye in it. Are you going to the doctors at all or just waiting it out? ((Hugs))

I understand. The same here when I had my chemical in December/January. I just waited it out. I hope all ends up ok and your intuition is wrong. ((Hugs)) The waiting game is really hard.

I have see this go both ways. I know how hard this is and having that "feeling" that things just aren't right. Just some things to consider. If you are comparing test lines daily... I have noticed that the lines look much darker once they have dried completely so the previous day's test is going to look much darker than a test you just took. I always tried to compare a picture of the previous day's test to the current day's test. Sometimes that is a bit more reassuring. Also, I was testing daily with my FRERs and my test line didn't get dark until closer to 18dpo with my successful pregnancy.
I don't mean to fill you full of false hope but I HAVE seen this go both ways. I will be thinking of you. (((hugs))) Hang in there.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. I have noticed that the FRER do dry darker, and I'm taking that into consideration, but the last test I took was and still is, after 3 hours, incredibly faint. I have one more FRER. I'll take it in the morning and see what the results are. After that, I'm taking a back seat in all of this. Whatever happens, happens and I cannot stop it or change it. I haven't even had the chance to tell my husband yet. He is out of town. Now I can't decide what to tell him. I want to just keep it to myself, but I don't think that will happen. I feel really, really down at the moment. He did not take my last miscarriage very well.

Maria's post was fantastic. I couldn't have said anything better. I really hope it's just a dye issue and that everything will work out fine for you. BFPs are so wonderful, but also scary at the same time. I hope your fear gets chased away soon
