Just noting- you may never get a dye stealer so don’t worry.

some women don't?

I got one when 1 was 2 weeks pregnant

Yes lots of women don’t.

I haven't gotten one but everything is progressing fine. 💕 I've been waiting for one. I'm 4 weeks.

I’m 20dpo today and very close. This is interesting though. Looks like earlier is more common and then us stragglers are maybe more spread out. Hope it’s not a bad sign that it’s taking longer. For the women who never got one I wonder if the pregnancy was successful or if it had to do with the brand of test or they were always better hydrated or what

I'm 17 DPO and test line matches the control line. Have you done HCG lab work?? I'm using first response tests. They say to stick with the same ones for line comparison purposes

Also be aware of the hook effect where there is so much HCG it overwhelms the test and the test line starts fading. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong.
It’s typically advised to stop testing after you get a definite positive on an at home test then make a doctor appointment

The only time I got one was my 3rd pregnancy when I didn’t know I was pregnant til like 6 weeks or so

Got mine right at 18DPO lol

17-19 dpo with baby #2, 20-22dpo with baby #1. They’re all different.

Missed miscarriage for me. Found out at 8 weeks. Maybe taking longer to get a dye stealer was a sign that all was not well

1st pregnancy 21dpo. 2nd pregnancy around 18dpo.
