They look like they are getting darker to me. But even if theyre not don't worry about it. They are only to detect pregnant or not not to detect progression of pregnancy. Stop testing

Thanks :)

Baby number 6 but 2 early mc's have made me paranoid. I'm going to throw them away and never do another one...
unless I treat myself to a digi

You'd think I'd know by now!

Stop testing now.

In the kindest possible way, an unviable or failing pregnancy can present with the strongest of lines in the same way that a healthy pregnancy can present with faint lines. The strength of the lines at this stage is all to do with the limitations of the test and concentration of your urine.

Those are clear, strong lines. Stop pissing on sticks and start believing.

Do NOT buy a digi. You'll do one and then just sneakily buy a second to watch it tick over into 2-3 instead of 1-2 or whatever and if it doesn't happen (because it sometimes doesn't and for no negative reason), you'll be a right mess.

You are pregnant. Desist woman.

Ok.
I will cease and desist.
And obsessively symptom spot.
I didn't even find out until 8 weeks with dc5. Which shows how many symptoms I had!

Donut they look pretty like mine, and I am 5 weeks today. I'm not sure they can get much darker?!
I think it's safe to say we're pregnant

Thanks and congratulations too chin :)
On a positive note, my obsession with lines meant I diagnosed a patient with glandular fever this week! They use the same type of test and the line was really faint I got a second opinion and others were sure it was negative.
I insisted and sure enough the film showed findings consistant with glandular fever.
I have my uses!!
