Suresign tests 18dpo too light?

[Orlahoping]

Hi all. Was trying to keep off these boards while TTC after loss as it makes me more anxious but after a positive test today I find myself back here.

I am 17 or 18DPO and 4 ish days late on my period. I expected a darker result on a pregnancy test. I held off testing last week even though I felt pregnant because I am trying to not be obsessive this time (and failing...).

This was not FMU and I was well hydrated. Am I worrying over nothing? I keep seeing super dark lines on other's tests and have convinced myself I am going to have a chemical.

My last pregnancy was an MMC at 12 weeks in Jan. I always knew I would be anxious when I got pregnant again but I hoped I would get maybe a week or so of feeling happy...

I’m sorry for your loss
You can’t compare your tests to other peoples if they are different brands. You were well hydrated and it wasn’t FMU. It’s a positive. Congratulations.

@MayYourToastLandButterSideUp thank you. I'm overthinking it!

I think these strip tests are always quite faint honestly !! I did mine day after missed period and wasn't very dark and I did a frer today and it's as dark as control line.
Do a clear blue digital to give you reassurance.
