Miscarriage, but tests darkening? Help!

Hi everyone

I'm just really confused and thought I'd come here for any advice or experiences as it's some time before I can ring a doctor and I just want to see what could be happening.

I conceived on 31st January this year, but sadly I started miscarrying on Thursday 10th March. I took a test (top picture) on 15th March with first morning urine and it was significantly light and pale, as I expected.

I then went away with my partner, I have had pain and bleeding from 10th March until now - it has been extremely heavy but now it's spotting, sometimes enough for a pad, sometimes just a pantyliner.

I did the next test (second picture) in the evening this Wednesday (23rd) and noticed the test was darker.
The final test (last pic, and the pic on its own) I've done literally just now, and straight away the dark bright positive line came up.

Has anyone had this before? I know you can test positive for a long time after a miscarriage but I'm wondering whether my bleed was something else? Or have I conceived again this quickly? I just can't understand how my tests are getting darker and not lighter.

I'd really appreciate any advice, and please be kind, I'm going out of my mind with wonder and I plan on ringing the EPU first thing tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hear this OP. With my 2nd MC, there was remaining tissue, I waited as well and it did come away so hopefully you won't need the d&c, although if you do they aren't that bad.
I don't know why the test is getting darker but I think you are right no more testing for a while.

Even if you do have a heavy bleed go back to EPU to make sure it's all cleared this time. x
