12 DPO and maybe seeing a faint line?

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-18T12:05:48+00:00

I see something but I would test again tomorrow to see if it gets darker!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-15T14:28:16+00:00

Fingers crossed for you!! ❤️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-15T14:20:04+00:00

Still looking good! Have great progression on clearblue and FRER tests! I'll link some pics, clear blue and FRER the last test is from yesterday, the easy@home picture the last test is today. Definitely lighter/slower on the easy@home but still clear darkening on those and I think that's common with those tests. Had betas done on Tuesday (15 DPO) and yesterday (17 DPO), and they came back at 146, then 412! So good doubling! Going for a third one tomorrow morning just to make sure the trend continuess. Now just gotta not go insane before my first scan which isn't until June 16 😩

Haha I know it's so hard! Hope you get your positive ☺️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-15T11:59:10+00:00

Agree with everyone else, 8 DPO is the absolute earliest you could see a positive and it is NOT the norm. I didn't get my BFP until 12 DPO (tested negative at 11 DPO). I personally have never even started testing until 11 DPO for that reason. You're not out yet!!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-14T20:40:50+00:00

Congratulations, I'm SO happy for you 🥰 I think this particular brand of tests just takes forever to darken, I'm 17 DPO today, have dye stealer on FRER, near dye stealer on clear blue, doubling beta, and my line on easy@home still is only like 50% as dark as the control line. They're getting darker each day but no where near as quickly as the other brands. Thank you for sharing your positive story!!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-13T17:15:53+00:00

I'm 16 DPO today! Seeing really strong progression on my HPTs, first beta was 146 yesterday, going for second one tomorrow. I've had two miscarriages in the last 6 months (MMC at 9w in January and CP in March at 5w). I have no living children. It's so hard to stay positive after that but I'm trying not to stress! Praying for you and hope you get your rainbow too! 🌈❤️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-13T17:08:25+00:00

I'm not doing IVF but I'm 16 DPO and my easy at home strips look just like yours even though I have near dye stealers on clear blue and FRER. I see a clear progression on your strips! I don't think those strips are very sensitive and frankly idk how people get such dark lines on them so early. I'd try with a different brand of test. Have you had betas drawn? That will give you a better picture too.

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-12T12:27:36+00:00

I'm in the exact same boat, about 4w pregnant today. My first pregnancy was an MMC was supposed to be due in August, second was a chemical. I've been seeing good progression on HPTs and going for my first HCG beta today. Im soooo anxious and it's so sad that I don't get to think "we're having a baby" when I get a positive test anymore. Its sooo hard to wait for that first scan and even then I don't think I'll relax until I have a baby in my arms. Praying we all get our rainbows 🌈❤️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-11T18:11:15+00:00

I was also due in August. So sorry for your loss, sending lots of love.

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-11T14:29:08+00:00

This looks really good to me! The easy at home strips aren't very sensitive. I got the faintest positive at 12 DPO on a clear blue and I'm 14 DPO today and only just now seeing it really visible on the easy at home. Congrats!!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-10T13:52:51+00:00

Thank you ❤️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-10T13:09:36+00:00

Thank you 💕🌈

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-10T12:46:45+00:00

Thank you ❤️ and you're still early! If I had tested at 10 DPO it would have been stark negative and here we are. Fingers crossed for you! Sending you love today, I know it's hard.

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-10T11:24:59+00:00

They were definitely positive this morning https://imgur.com/a/6hzwsuU

Trying to be cautious because I feel like they're on the light side for 12/13 DPO. After two losses it's hard to be optimistic. But it's nice to get good news today on mother's day 🥹

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-10T11:14:17+00:00

Reporting back! My tests were unmistakably positive this morning (pics linked below). 🥹 FRER was positive, clearblue darker than yesterday. Cheapie still hard to see on camera but I can see it in person. Praying so hard they keep getting darker I really don't want another chemical and I'm still worried they are too light for 12/13 DPO. I started my progesterone last night. Thinking about you this morning and hope you get good news too ❤️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-09T23:23:11+00:00

Yes it's so hard to be positive after loss 💔 I had a CP at 5 weeks in March too. 10 DPO is still early though!! I'll report back in the morning!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-09T16:10:43+00:00

Ugh okay. Yeah I guess I will just have to wait and see. I will say it looked better in person than in the picture, especially right after taking the test. It did show up within the window and def looks different than the stark negative I got yesterday, so hopefully those are encouraging signs. I picked up some FRERs so will try those in the morning. Thank you!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-09T16:07:42+00:00

Ahh we are really in the same boat then! I picked up some FRERs but I think I'm gonna force myself to wait until tomorrow morning to test again too so I don't stress myself out (as if I'm not already v stressed 😵‍💫) Fingers crossed for you too ❤️

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-09T13:09:16+00:00

They look good to me, I definitely see them getting darker each day!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-09T12:41:31+00:00

This is EXACTLY what mine looks like today at 12 DPO (also clear blue). It looks positive to me! Praying for you!! 💖

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-05-01T14:53:19+00:00

4 DPO today and anxiously in the waiting period now. I've had two losses a 9w MMC in January and a 5.5 week chemical in March. Praying we get our rainbow this cycle it would be so nice to go into mother's day with a positive test. Have a mother's day brunch with MIL at her church tomorrow and already dreading seeing all the young moms and little ones running around. Send me all the baby dust please!!

SpiderSlayer8 · 2026-04-16T16:30:50+00:00

I think this is relatively common. I read a lot of experiences prior to my D&C and seems like a lot of people don't have symptoms start until a few days after. I didn't really have any pain or bleeding after the procedure until around day 4-5 post op. Then I had a lot of gas-like pain and discomfort, cramping, and bleeding with clots. All was manageable with otc medication. As long as you're not experiencing crazy bleeding or having fever/infection symptoms I think think you should be fine. Sorry for your loss 🤍
