Pregnancy test not getting any darker

I chart my cycles on fertility friend and im suppose to be 14  days past ovulation right now. I got my first light positive at 12 dpo and then test again yesterday at 13 dpo and still real light and again today and the same. I did finally get a PREGNANT on the clear blue digi this morning but now it says not pregnant again. Im really worried. I cant see the doctor until thursday. I used over the counter progesterone cream on 9 and 10 dpo and stopped on 11 and half of day 12 until I saw that my test was +. A girl from another board told me to start using it again asap. Im afraid I might have done something. Any advice? Have any of you got a few days of light + test and then have them get darker? I have 4 children under 7 and had 1 m/c 4 years ago. Thanks!

I took multiple tests when I first got my BFP with a clear blue digital. And they were SUPER faint. They didn't begin getting darker for me until a week or two later. :) But my levels were rising fine and I'm currently almost 18w pregnant with a HEALTHY baby boy

I know how that is. When I told my husband I said I had a positive pregnancy test, but was waiting on the dr to confirm it. Like I said if you can't help testing again while waiting on the dr be sure to just test that one time with your first morning pee. Other than that congrats and good luck!

If you got a bfp on the digital this morning and then a bfn on the same day with the same test it could just be that your urine was too diluted. I drove myself crazy with tests like that too. Three days after a positive I got a negative, but it was later in the day.

I tested multiple times because of a previous chemical pregnancy, but the thing is you can't do anything either way and your just going to drive yourself crazy in the meantime. If you are going to continue to test only test in the morning with that first pee, but I would wait for the blood test if I were you.

Is it a new test that says not pregnant ? if so its possible you have had a chemical pregnacy.these are extremley common,thats why most doctors would recomend  waiting until couple days after your missed period.it could also be possible that you didnt hold wee long enough.try again tomorrow,if the same then i would say it is a chemical..your hormone levels double evry 48 to 72 hours.so testing straight after each other or the next day,wont make it much darker.there is nothing you have done wrong,somtimes the egg dont implant properly.fingers crossed for you.

dont entirely rely on hpt to tell you if your going to miscarry or not. not because they aresnt getting darker doesnt mean its a bad thing. because you urine can be more or less concentrated that before, it can vary the line in darkness because the amount of fluid you intake can condense ur hcg levels. i was reading this somewhere on another medical forum. having bloods done is your best bet.
