today's BFP paler than yesterday's

[tenar]

I got a really pale BFP on Monday (and a positive from a digital test, so I knew it was really true).

Yesterday I used another Pregnow strip and got a darker line, which was great.

Today I did the same again, but the line is a bit paler than yesterday's, though still darker than Monday's.

Would you worry about the line seeming to be paler today than yesterday, or would you just put it down to differences in the amount I drank, or exactly how I did the test, or other variations?

All tests done with FMU, though yesterday and today I was up at 4-4.30 am peeing and did the test later, around 7.30 am, so maybe that doesn't count as FMU.

I think I'm ready to be worried by anything, which probably isn't necessary.

I would not worry to much - it can vary depending on amount of liquid you drank that day and other factors. I would not test again instead I would go and get a blood test from you GP. Testing again and getting a darker / lighter line wil just stress you out and you dont need that!!
Oh and CONGRATS by the way!!

If it's still showing positive you should be fine, but it can also mean an early loss if it's getting paler. The the only way you will know is to go off and get a BT. Testing and retesting will only do your head in. best to know for sure.

It could be the different brands too. Plus fluid intake & time of day.
It should be fine. Get off to your gp & ask for BTs & don't stress!!

Thanks everyone.

I have an appointment with a GP tomorrow, so will ask then.

In the meantime I'll try not to worry...

And the test I couldn't resist doing this evening was darker again. At least as dark as yesterday's...

Relief!

Still going to the doc tomorrow, though.

Good. See, nothing to worry about!
Your having a baby!!!
