Is this a dye stealer??

Hi, I've seen people saying about dye stealers, and only yesterday I think I understood what it means.. control line lighter than the test line?
Then I did a test this morning and I think I got one for the first time!? What does it mean?

What do you think it means?

@Amanda I don't know lol, I know it's a positive but I don't know beyond that

Lol.
So your body produces hcg when pregnant every 48 hour and this is what gives you a positive test, the more hcg you have the darker the test line will be and that’s why people get dye stealers.
Because your HCG is high.
Some people get it some don’t. x

Thank you ❤️ I had a positive a few weeks ago, but then had to have some blood tests to keep an eye on my HCG as it wasn't going up as Dr hoped. So I've been very anxious thw last week whilst waiting for a scan.. so to hear the reason why this is like this fills me with happiness, and hopefully my HCG is high when I go back tomorrow!

Depending on how many DPO you are, an early dye stealer could indicate multiples 😉

It mean more then 1 baby

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx
