Line Progression?

For context, had a MMC last year, had ended at 6ish weeks, found out past 8 weeks and ended up with surgical management. Then a chemical last month. Tested on Weds when period was due, test on left in photo. Tested again today at 3 days late, test on right in photo. Both using FMU. Would you have expected more line progression? Feel like they’re so similar, am assuming chemical again. Boobs not sore in the slightest (they were last month before chem and last year before MMC) and no symptoms at all.
Have pretty much convinced myself this will be another chem.

@8251peacock sorry for your losses 💐

I got my bfp 10 days ago and been testing daily since and scared myself with the comparisons a few times but remember that first one has totally dried up so its not really good comparing them when one is dry and that one is still wet!

the 2nd one to me looks so much pinker! I had took a photo within the 5 mins so i compared them lines instead of putting them together and noticed the line had definitely progressed! Do you have a photo you took of the first one at the time? Xx

No I don’t, I kind of just thought here we go again and put it in the drawer! Tbh the MMC has really shaken my belief that it will ever happen - years ago when I had DS I never thought about it going wrong but since the MMC that’s all I think about. I’m also a lot older (42 v soon) so odds not in my favour. I think if this time turns out badly I will need to draw a line under TTC for my own sanity.

@8251peacock totally understandable! I have been so fortunate to never experience a loss and I am still absolutely petrified at only 4+5 weeks, I know its still so early and in that stage where noone knows but its all consuming you!

big hugs and wish you all the luck in the world!

Thank you so much @PeeBeee, and all the best of luck to you too! Idk, I think I’m just a bit up and down atm, one minute I think I’m pg today, enjoy it and worry about what comes next when it comes, the next I’m like it def won’t happen, it’ll all go wrong again.
A crystal ball would be pretty useful right about now! Just going to do my absolute best to not think about it. Easier said than done!

No bleeding yet but feeling pretty crampy for the last couple of hours so I think most likely the same story as last month. Think that’s me done, as nice as it would be if it happened, I don’t want to do this every month any more. Planning to get another coil put in and focus on what we already have.

Still no period and now 5 days late so idk what is going on. No cramps or bleeding for the last 2 days. Wanted to test this morning but I drank so much water in the night that FMU pretty much looked like water so I didn’t bother wasting a test. Hoping to test again in the morning and maybe see some progression. Honestly this whole process is driving me a little crazy.
