Lines not getting darker please help??

So I had a miscarriage in August and haven’t had a period since but I have been ovulating.

I got my first positive on 31/10 which is about 12dpo. However the lines since 13dpo haven’t gotten any darker in fact seem to have gotten lighter. I’m so worried I’m going to have another miscarriage. Does anyone have any positive stories or any suggestions.

Weirdly my 13dpo wee wasn’t my first wee of the day it was middle of the day and the 14 and 15th are first wees.

I had the exact same last month and mine ended up as a chemical. Really hope this isn't the case for you Thanks

@88Rose I definitely see a shadow of a line! Grin

Congratulations! Wonderful news xx
I need a second opinion- I've inverted the colours. Can anybody see a second line or am I going mad?

The 13dpo test was actually taken in the afternoon and the 14 and 15 were first thing in the morning. I was due AF Friday (but don’t 100% know as haven’t had a period since miscarriage)

I’ve sent hubby out to get another first response and I will try taking one this afternoon. I was half expecting the digital to say not pregnant and would’ve dropped below those levels to determine a pregnancy.

Hcg levels are higher in the evening or late afternoon. It’s just wee is more concentrated in the morning. Try holding your wee for 3-4 hours from 1-5 and don’t eat and only small sips of water.
Sadly when my test were like that it was a chemical. Are you one day late?

I found another digital so just done that with not first urine and it came up pregnant. So I don’t know if it was a chemical if it would show that or if it wouldn’t by now?

I know there isn’t a lot I can do either way just finding this all difficult to cope with after the miscarriage. Thank you for your help x

I've had this 3 times and each time I'm sorry to say it was a chemical. That said it doesn't mean that yours is. It could just be slow increasing hcg and you wee is more dilute. I'm afraid you ate going to need to wait a few days and see what happens. Hugs. It's so stressful

It's only 3 days between 12 and 15 so I really wouldn't worry. My lines were pretty faint and didn't get particularly dark until later on. Well, actually for my sanity I stopped testing and just waited to see what would happen but I am now 38 weeks pregnant. Good luck - I really would try to stay positive as you have the BFP xxx
