Control line lighter than test line??

Question

So I took 2 FRER tests Sunday night at 4 days late for af and got positives on both.  The test line showed up immediately and was super dark. The control line showed up too, but is lighter than the test line. Is this normal? First dr appt tomorrow morning. ​

Answer

I googled it and apparently it's because my hcg levels are so high it's stealing the due from the control line over to the test line!

Answer

Mine was the exact same way. Just had blood work done this week and got it confirmed, my HCG levels were over 12,000 at 5 weeks so it can indicate just a strong positive! Congrats!!

Answer

Lab work confirmed pregnancy today and I get to see my ob on June 30!

Answer

Yes it's normal, it's just a very strong BFP mine look like this now congratulations xxx

Answer

Could just be the hormone levels making the test line really dark even though the control line might be normal. I don't think you have anything to worry about :)
