Slow FRER line progression?

Hey everyone, I'm just looking for some opinions or hopefully success stories... I got a verrrrrry faint squinter of a line at 12dpo FMU. At 13dpo FMU it had darkened. I was hoping this morning (14dpo) it would be a lot darker, but it hasn't really changed from yesterday. Should I expect to see a daily darkening or is it every 48 hours normally? I'm really worried its a chemical or ectopic or something. I'm an anxious person anyway and all sorts of what ifs are going through my head now. I thought once you get your positive that's it. But I'm not sure really. Thanks in advance for any opinions/success stories. (lines look much pinker in real life compared to photo quality)

Are you testing at the same time each day with concentrated urine?

It's really hard to say unfortunately. You are likely going to have to do more tests in a few days.
hcg is suppose to double every 48 hours however I think tests can be affected by hydration etc.

Tomorrow at 15 or even when 16 dpo should give you a clearer answer . I know waiting is so so tough!

Hook effect wouldn’t happen at 14dpo. It’s something that happens after a few weeks of pregnancy. I peed on a test at 5 weeks and the hook effect wasn’t even happening yet, it was just a dye stealer. I’m 11 weeks now so progressing fine.

Hook effect, looks like it's getting darker but still very faint
