Lines not getting darker

I know I have tested a lot but I couldn’t help myself. I had tracked ovulation on Pom this month and first got a faint line on 10dpo. It was darker by 11dpo but I’m now 13 dpo and it doesn’t seem to be progressing. I did get the digital yesterday at 12dpo. Is this a bad sign?

Over the course of 3 days (10 to 13 DPO like you) mine didn't get any darker and some even looked lighter so I wouldn't stress necessarily. I stopped taking them as it was causing me a lot of stress and I'm glad I did because my pregnancy was absolutely fine and I now have a healthy baby. Good luck xx

Thank u so much @Bleepers for making me feel better. I know it does no good to test early but just concerned as my period should arrive tomorrow but would assume the test line should be darker by now. I suppose all I can do is wait it out and hope it will develop more

I really think you've got nothing to worry about but maybe do a digital to see what that says? All I can say is my lines were exactly the same, I then made myself stop testing and tested at 6 weeks and had the darkest line ever. I really hope everything's OK for you xx

@Bleepers I have digital arriving tomorrow will do another then. I’ve got myself in a right tizzy over this. The line clearly got darker from 10 to 11dpo but from 11 to 13dpo it really hasn’t changed at all. But I have had a positive digital Yesterday so just hoping That’s a good sign.
Chronic testing is so anxiety inducing but I can’t help myself!

For the sake of your sanity, put the tests away. There's no need to test as often as that as all you're going to do is stress yourself out. You haven't left it long enough for hcg to increase (it doubles every 48 hours but even that is an estimate, it's different for every woman). You are pregnant. Give it a few days and if you really must, test again. But give your body a chance to increase hcg rather than testing multiple times every day and expecting there to be a vast difference in the look of the tests, because you're going to be disappointed
