Pregnancy Test lines not darkening. - September 2021 Babies | Forums | What to Expect (2)

Has anyone ever had a successful pregnancy after not having their tests get very dark? I’m only 19 days DPO, I’ve gotten positives on every test I’ve tried but they’re just not darkening at all. :( I took these today, they look the same as my tests from January 16th. I don’t see a doctor until next week, so I don’t get those HCG numbers that everyone seems to get. I’m also low risk, my only previous pregnancy was successful and I delivered at 40w exactly. But my tests were a lot darker with her (4 years ago now).

Get the first response tests as they are more sensitive. Everyone on here says the pink dye is far better than the blue.

Went to my local place today and they were sold out of FR so I just ended up with these but I’ll be getting more tomorrow, maybe some of the easy at home ones. I got the pregmate ones on Amazon and they SUCK big time

Here is my line progression (ignore the CD/numbers, i just put them in the LH category for the numbers) It went really slowly too and only picked up 17 DPO/6 days after my first positive. It took until today, 3 weeks DPO for a FR to be ‘dye-stealer’. Do you have a line progression photo?

@2021Taylorbaby,

I will be buying these test strips from Amazon tomorrow. I usually just toss my tests because I know it’s not super accurate to read them after 10 mins etc!

Following as I have the exact same concern. My test on 1/16 is the exact same shade as today’s 1/19. Do you still have symptoms?? Mine have basically gone away minus some minus breast pain and hunger. I’m terrified.

@mrds2021,

only symptoms I have is extreme hunger and severe insomnia. I can’t get sleep no matter how hard I try, which is the total opposite of when I was pregnant with my 3 year old! I feel like I took caffeine pills and I don’t drink coffee lol

I'm in the exact same boat. The first test is from 4w3d and the second is 4w5d. After it sat for awhile it did get a little darker so it was the same color as the first one. I'm stressing myself out over it! I feel like they should both be way darker.

Same. I’m estimating I’m 4 weeks 5 days. I reached out to my doctor and she ordered the blood test for me. I am trying not to get too excited but this could be the one!
