Confused, do I prepare for the worst?

Other peoples opinions would help massively right now, so confused and don’t know what to think?
Tested on the 21st had the faintest line, bled on Saturday 22nd, it was more than spotting but it was mainly brown with some reddish but it only lasted 24 hours. I done a digital test on Sunday once the bleeding stopped and it came back pregnant. Today I’ve done another strip one and it seems darker than the previous tests, if I was having another chemical wouldn’t the lines be fading or gone?
I have called my doctor but they can’t see me until the 16th of November which is too far away.
I’ve added the pics and dated them, please let me know what you think of the line progression even though I’ve had a bleed
hoping you can see the pics, the quality might be bad on here
Thanks x

Today‘s test looks good and like a nice progression from before the weekend. Spotting and some bleeding can be normal in early pregnancy. How many days past ovulation are you?

Currently 12dpo. A part of me is hoping I had implantion bleeding but it wasn’t light in colour which is what worried me, just holding on to the fact the line is darker than before🤞🏼

At 12DPO, those lines are about as dark as I'd expect them to be if it was me. HCG takes at least 48 hours to double, so compare the test stick from Friday with Monday. Also, make sure you're testing at the same time every day (FMU is usually a good one).

Looking at your tests, Monday's line is definitely darker.

This pregnancy my tests looked similar and the line progression felt quite slow. With my first, the lines were considerably darker every other day, so I guess it really does depend on the pregnancy.

This time around I also bled a considerable amount. We ended up in the EPU at 5 weeks and again at 7 weeks. They prescribed Cyclogest (progesterone pessaries) which seems to have sorted the bleeding. I'm currently 11 weeks.

Meant to add, don't worry about brown blood, it's old blood. Phone your GP and get them to prescribe you Cyclogest.
