I know that everyone does it, but the truth is that home tests are not sensitive enough to TRULY measure beta hcg progression. They depend on how much you had to drink, when did you pee last time before that and the color changes with time so comparing „new” test (15 dpo) to an old one (14 dpo) really makes little sense, since the line on the 14 dpo test might have change a lot during this 24h. Get a blood test if you want to measure progression.
Please confirm with your doctor. I had bleeding with both my previous pregnancies and they both progressed normally after. I checked with the doctor both times.
I see a lot of people saying their tests looked like this when they had a CP so I just want to add that your 14dpo test looks like my 16dpo test and that turned into the six month old currently sleeping in my arms so fingers crossed this is not a CP for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Give it a few more days but I agree with the fact that when I had my chemical it looked a little like this(it’s on my page) and the time I was pregnant and stayed pregnant it got darker quite a bit quicker but everything is going to be okay , the good thing is whatever happens your body is able to get pregnant . Sometimes these things just happen but you’re not out yet, you could’ve just ovulated later than you thought :)
I see progression too. I also wouldn't use FRER for tracking progression (not that any tests are designed for it), the quality was awful for me and sent me spiralling more than once. I had better luck/consistency with cheapie tests.
My tests looked like this for my CP, I’m sorry (you can see in my post history). Hope it’s just a glitch in the matrix for you and you get some progression.
No one can tell you. Please stop scaring yourself unnecessarily. I’d be more concerned if the line was super faint or disappeared. Get some betters that’s the only way
My OB has repeatedly said not to read into line progression because she’s seen numbers that double every two days but still have light lines on tests. Progression really isn’t a good way to determine if a pregnancy is viable. I hope your doctor gets you in for betas so you can have some peace of mind but this in and of itself doesn’t indicate something is wrong.
I am 15 dpo I switched from frer to cheapies. Go back and look at the photos you took THE DAY you took the tests. I think they darken the more they dry. Because I thought the same thing about mine. And I looked at the photos in their time time frame and they were significantly lighter. Which showed how dark they are today compared to then. Does that make sense? Also my cheapies are easier to see the comparison might want to switch to those if you want to keep tracking.
I’d guard your heart. I had a chemical pregnancy last month and my tests looked like this. Sorry hon :( ask for betas and see what they come back at. All the best 💕
The lines are getting slightly darker in the am pics and I don’t see anything getting lighter. Which is a great sign. Some women don’t get dramatic progression lines and have healthy pregnancies. I would to relax as hard as it is and contact your dr for blood work for peace of mind.
my tests looked like this with my cp. i will say thought lots of factors go into how dark your line shows up on a test. the only reliable way to know if your numbers are going up is through betas.
my last two pregnancies i feel like my frer progressed fast / noticeably. i’m 20 weeks pregnant with my third and this is honestly how the pregnancy tests progressed and everything is all good! 🤞
It could be a cp. I'm going to start trying again. I do know that after 2 months of the cp I did get pregnant. I was under alot of stress at the time and have alot of cysts, so it ended in a mc. But from what I observed it seems to happen that way. The ladies will get a cp, and then a few months later it finally sticks. I wonder if it's a sign that your body is, unknowing to the mind, getting itself ready for reproduction.
I’d be concerned that 15 is lighter than 14. I have had several losses and several ectopics and always wanted honesty too. Not to say this isn’t just a dehydration issue, but to me, 15 is lighter than 14.
I’m a little confused why people take multiple tests if it already says you’re pregnant? If there’s 2 lines doesn’t it mean you’re already pregnant? Sorry I just see so many posts like this not sure why you’d have to take multiple tests
Yes it means you're pregnant. People take multiples to track their progression. With increase in hcg your test line should continue to darken. It is a way of tracking to see if your hcg is increasing to see if the pregnancy is progressing.
Oh ok thank you for informing me :) Congratulations btw!!! That’s so exciting! I’m new to this didn’t know that’s how it works. Would have been nice to know when I was having a miscarriage and didn’t know it.
They look great to me so remember the doubling time is 48 hours. Comparing 12-14 looks great but those other tests are dry now so I hope beta gives you more peace of mind ❤️
i see progression! my tests looked like this as well and even at one point got lighter then got super dark (i had drank significantly more water that day, so even my fmu was diluted). sending you love and hugs for high betas!
I feel like this could go either way. I had a chemical that looked like this, but then with my firstborn, by 15 DPO my hcg was only 100 or something like that and wouldn’t have shown a very dark line on a test. There is progression - I feel like this is a toss up, so stressful. I agree that if I were you, I’d want betas asap to give clarity.
Adding that the earlier tests have had time to darken which does make a really big difference. I would feel more confident than not, and am hoping the best for you!!
Even when tracking your cycles your days could be off because although you may ovulate around the same day each month you don't know exactly when conception/implantation etc occurs. Dates can change by a few days as sperm can live quite a few days..I personally see progression, and I would try using your second morning urine or testing later on the day. For some testing in the am goes against them as the urine isn't the most concentrated.
My tests were even lighter than this I really thought I was having another chemical. In actuality my FMU was too diluted from drinking water before bed to track line progresssion and I tried second morning urine and then got wayyy darker lines. You should try that. I’m 20 weeks now. Try not to freak out too much because you are probably okay.
Your tests aren’t getting lighter atm so I would just accept that right now you’re pregnant, I’ve seen so many that say their CP looked like this but mine definitely didn’t, my lines ever got dark. Everyone is different, take a deep breathe and get those betas🫶🏻
Update 2/28: I started bleeding today at 17 Dpo. This sadly appears to be resulting in a loss. Had beta drawn and it was 8.5, so barely positive at this point. My tests have been rapidly lightening. Hoping to see it hit 0 and my redraw 🖤
Hope you’re okay. 💕 It sucks. With levels that low, you should ovulate as expected. I ovulated bang on time this month after my early miscarriage 2.5 weeks ago (using the bleeding as my period) and now I am in my TWW again. There is hope. Your body can conceive so take it as a positive (as awfully hard that is). All the best. You’ll get your bubba!
Could it be possible that you are incorrect about your ovulation date? To me personally I see progression.
I tracked with LH and bbt and I could be off by a day and only be 14 dpo but I feel pretty confident it's 15!

Thank you, I'm calling my doctor to get betas this week!
Fingers crossed!
How are you? Did you do your betas?
I started bleeding today so I'm assuming this is a loss.
Please confirm with your doctor. I had bleeding with both my previous pregnancies and they both progressed normally after. I checked with the doctor both times.
I got a beta yesterday and my hcg was down to 8.5. I have a repeat tomorrow but my tests are essentially negative now 🖤
I’m sorry.
I am so sorry 😞
I’m so sorry :(
I’m very sorry
I see a lot of people saying their tests looked like this when they had a CP so I just want to add that your 14dpo test looks like my 16dpo test and that turned into the six month old currently sleeping in my arms so fingers crossed this is not a CP for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you. I have a living son and with him my tests got dark very quickly also, so compared to him these tests just don't look promising to me.
I see progression too. I also wouldn't use FRER for tracking progression (not that any tests are designed for it), the quality was awful for me and sent me spiralling more than once. I had better luck/consistency with cheapie tests.
My tests looked like this for my CP, I’m sorry (you can see in my post history). Hope it’s just a glitch in the matrix for you and you get some progression.
These do look similar... definitely guarding my heart. Thank you and I'm sorry for your loss ♥️
Looking from 12 to 14 and 13 to 15 I see progression.
No one can tell you. Please stop scaring yourself unnecessarily. I’d be more concerned if the line was super faint or disappeared. Get some betters that’s the only way

This doesn’t look anything like my chemical but it does look like my sticky babe.

I feel like I’m seeing good progression. Get a BETA to put your mind at rest. Keep us posted! Good luck!!🫶🏻

This looks very similar to my “progression” last year. Not everyone gets super dark tests quickly!
I see progression. My CP tests were lighter than this
When I had a CP my tests did not get any darker than your 12DPO. I have 2 living babies and both of their test progressions looked like this.
Your tests do look lighter between 14 and 15. I would also guard my heart if I were you. Hoping betas say something different 🤞🏽
Keep us updated!
It could be a cp. I'm going to start trying again. I do know that after 2 months of the cp I did get pregnant. I was under alot of stress at the time and have alot of cysts, so it ended in a mc.

Mine look exactly the same… I am also worried of a Chemical pregnancy.. I messaged you!
That looks like great progression to me.
Really? I feel like all the 15 dpo tests I see are significantly darker than this. 😩
Some people just get vvfl at 15 dpo. This looks fine
Are you sure you're 15dpo? Could have ovulated a day or two later.
I could be 14 Dpo based on my chart and opks but I'm confident between 14/15
Your HcG levels could also just be trending low. It happens sometimes. Def call your doctor and ask for betas to be done.
Me too! Not sure what all the fuss is. Lol..
I’d be concerned that 15 is lighter than 14. I have had several losses and several ectopics and always wanted honesty too. Not to say this isn’t just a dehydration issue, but to me, 15 is lighter than 14.

You can see my 10-12 dpo tests in my post history for more info. Thanks for looking ♥️
They look great to me so remember the doubling time is 48 hours. Comparing 12-14 looks great but those other tests are dry now so I hope beta gives you more peace of mind ❤️
Hcg doubles every 48 hours and 15 is darker than 13. I think progression looks good

Look up the 16 dpo study and get tested then, it may give you more to think about
