Should it be darker than this?

Promised myself I wouldn’t do line progression so have thrown out the previous tests! But then here I am panicking!
Got BFP last Weds eve and confirmed on a digital. Went away for weekend and did another test when came back and line was def significantly darker so stopped testing for a few days.
Did a cheap dip test on Weds eve, Fri eve and this morning. The lines on all are still strong but don’t seem to be getting darker. This is the one from this morning at what I think is 20DPO or 4weeks +6. Should it be darker by now? There is a thin darker line at the v start of the test line. Was second morning urine (went at 6am ish, went back to bed and tested again at 9am) but didn’t seem particularly concentrated considering I’d not drunk all night. No spotting or bleeding, do have a bit of crampy/ovary pain but think it’s wind! This is all totally normal right?

My cheapy strip test lines never really got crazy dark. I think they may have become as dark as the control at some point but honestly can't really remember. I only got dye stealers on FRERs!

Thank you, guess it’s just a waiting game. Will try and step back from testing if at all possible!

Thank you. I know I’m probably worrying over nothing, what will be will be either way I know. Have an early scan booked on 20th

Just thought I’d update in case anyone else finds this thread in the future. I did another test that afternoon with urine I could tell was more concentrated from the colour. The line was better. Then tested again 48 hours after and 48 hours after that. Both of the latest 2 the test lines were as dark as the control and think the v latest one is actually a little bit darker than the control line. Think this would have been 5+3weeks.
