We have three children, 7, almost 4 and almost 2, all of whom were conceived easily...so you would think I would be the expert here, lol, but I'm totally confused and freaking out.

What kind of tests specifically are you using? I know the internet cheapie strips have not gotten that dark for me. Can you post a pic of all your tests together? Are you using first morning urine?


I wish you tons of luck and they do say a line is a line :) I would see if you could go in for a beta from your doctor to get some reasurance. Good luck, hope to see your HPT pics soon!!

Awesome news!! I had a feeling you were talking about internet cheapies!! You're lucky you will get a beta, my doc won't even do a beta this time. I may try to ask again when I go in for my first visit next Tues. I will only be 5 1/2 weeks. I hope since I am almost 36 I will get an early ultrasound at least. Well let me know what the doc says!! I guess we will be due around the same time, a happy & healthy 9 months to you!!

Hey there! I felt compelled to chime in here. I am 8 weeks pregnant now and I just had to tell you that I used ebay hpt's too and had the same problem. I got a very very very faint positive on 10dpo on an ebay hpt. So, using the same FMU I used a $ store test, same thing, very faint. So later on in the day after holding it in for five hours I used a FRER and got a beautiful line. I really had to squint at the ebay and $ store tests but the FRER was very clearly there. I even did a seres of tests using all three brands. My ebay hpt's didn't get dark dark like as dark as the control line until like 18 or 19dpo and that was with an early positive on 10dpo. But by 14 dpo, 4 days past my first positive I had a positive on FRER that was just as dark as the control. I think the cheaper tests just don't have a much dye in them. You are very much pregnant sweetie!! Enjoy!!! If it would make you feel better buy a 3 pack of FRER's from walmart or something. I think I paid 12 or 13 dollars and test every other day to watch your lines get darker!! H&H 9 months to ya!!
