Oh help, freaking out over BFP's not darkening

[harleyquinn]

A line like that at 17dpo is *not bad news*. I think its good its that dark and comparing them to ones that are days old isn't so great because they do change...hence why I take pics LOL

I think that is a respectable line for 5 days since getting a positive test. The test above I posted was from getting a bfp at 9dpo and the never progressing scenario. The next day after this, it was VERY noticeably lighter...in my experiene, these early pgs don't ~fade~ away slowly, they crash and burn very quickly so you KNOW. AS long as its still this strong, I would NOT be worrying. Worry when you see a drastic change. ((hugs))

Thanks Harley. Memory does fade, and being catastrophizer-me and worst-case-scenario of course I remember it worse than it probably was!

Hubby reassures me that it wasn't much darker, if at all, than today's test. I know taking pics of them each day would probably be good, but not obsessing at all would probably be better, LMAO. I suppose since there is a 5 day difference it would be a BFN or barely squinty there at all if it things were going south. And I didn't test early either, as my LP is so short 12dpo pretty much was my expected AF date. So today is 5 days late for me.

Well, I guess I ought to try to do something else, eh? Off to find hubby and play some xbox, after all going to pee every 5 min to look for spotting isn't exactly helpful, lol. In the meantime, I guess I really shouldn't snack and put on any weight quite yet, LMAO!

Thanks ladies. I feel a little saner now. What's gonna happen is gonna happen anyways.

Well sometimes talking it through helps even if we don't figure out much.

I have to hand it to your DH! Mine will hold one at arms length and look for .000001 of a second! LOL

I think you are going to be just fine...that pg feeling is hard to ignore. xx
