Lines not getting darker!?

Hi, any personal experiences would be appreciated please!
So according to my app I was due AF Monday. I'm not sure when I ovulated but I think it may have been 23rd Sept!? If my letuel phase is 14 days I guess I wouldn't be due on until today anyway?
Friday night (2nd Oct) I had brown spotting that lasted less than an hour, only when I wiped.
Monday afternoon I took a first response 6 days sooner, clear positive result, faint but there. Took another yesterday with fmu and another positive, maybe a little lighter. Stupidly took another in the afternoon, another positive. Not expecting them to get darker within 24 hours anyway.
But this morning I took after with fmu and it isn't any darker!? Worrying now as with previous 2 children they got darker very quickly. I've taken 2 freedom tests too which aren't as sensitive but there is barely a line there, partner can't see it at all!
I know I need to just wait longer and stop worrying but I can't stop thinking the worst. Dr's won't do bloods either. I have attached pictures, the one with no writing on was taken this morning with fmu.

They look slightly darker to me.... the same day ones perhaps not, but the one taken today I think is darker (slightly).
Best of luck!

@Fearicecream thank you for your response. I'm honestly going out of my mind worrying that there won't be a progression! Fingers crossed!

This literally happened to me in April!

I was due for a period on the 20th April and took a test on that day - the line was there but you could barely see it.

For the first few days after that every test I took was SUPER light (you could barely see the second line) so I ended up buying a clear blue digital (about 6 days after the first test) that says 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' - luckily I got what I wanted!

Now I'm 24 weeks pregnant and expecting my first baby!

If your experience is anything like mine, I'd bet money that you're definitely positive.

Congrats x

Those look like they are getting darker to me OP, each one of the FRERs looks a bit darker than the previous one to me - fingers crossed for you!

Thank you ladies!! I'm really hoping that the little bean is cooking nicely and it's safe and snug in there! Will try not to test tomorrow and leave it until Friday! 🤞🤞

@Jessiemay2020 how did it turn on in the same boat

Jessiemay2020 · 01/03/2021 08:20

Unfortunately it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy, I'm sorry you're in the same position. Until the lines get darker or you bleed then don't lose hope. Just for a bit of hope though... I had my bleed (which was pretty unpleasant) and fell pregnant again 2 weeks after the bleed!! I am 20 weeks pregnant today.
Sending you my thoughts and hang in there ❤️
