Pregnancy test question

Hi all,
I got my bfp about 10 days ago and since then I've been taking tests checking they're getting darker because I've had no major symptoms other than tender breasts (and I've developed an addiction to Poas'ing) I know I shouldn't though.
Anyway, my tests have been getting darker but the test line doesn't come up as soon as the dye passes the window like the control like does, however it does appear within a minute (probably like 30 seconds) and it reaches maximum darkness between 3-4 minutes, if that.

I know this probably sounds really stupid but does it matter that the test line doesn't appear as soon as the control? Despite it appearing in time?
I only ask because I went to a walk in centre and the nurse I did the test with seemed concerned that the line didn't come up straight away, but I explained I'd had to practically force a wee out having not long had one.

The tests have gotten a lot darker which I assume is a good sign, just checking about the whole speed of the line thing.

I apologise for how silly this question probably sounds.

My picture is of the test I did today.

I think you are over thinking this massively. You are pregnant - congratulations!

I really would suggest stepping away from the sticks, you will drive yourself mad.

I am 34 weeks pregnant, and I had no symptoms either, no sickness, some tiredness from about 8 weeks onwards. boobs didn't become sore until I was nearing 9/10 weeks and that was it.

Not everyone has symptoms, I was told I was lucky for being symptom free :) I had an early scan privately at just under nine weeks for reassurance which helped

I don't think I ever had a line appearing immediately, and I'm most definitely pregnant.

Step away from the pissy sticks.

Thank you.

I really I am driving myself mad! I've been pregnant before (didn't make it past 8 weeks) and I had every symptom under the sun with that pregnancy and this time I hardly have anything, except sore boobs and tiredness.

Cramping has stopped now too, or at least subsided a lot.. So I don't know whether that's a food thing or not.

I will calm down eventually

Step away from the pee sticks..

Once I had missed a period I didn't test anymore because a pee stick isn't really much of a window into what's going on inside. You've just got to have faith and go with it.

Congrats!
