14dpo - line getting lighter?

Hi!! Got my BFP on 28th and hve been using easy at home tests with FMU to check progression - anyone had lines like these at 14dpo? I feel like it’s quite light compared to other equivalents I’ve seen - should I be worried??

Top one is 12dpo
Middle is 13dpo
Bottom 14dpo

I think it’s just cos the others have dried and that one is fresh maybe? X

Hi Rosiejj5! Thanks so much for your quick response, yeah I think the other drying and this one being wet may have something to do with it. I’m so new to this and have no idea how they should be looking, but next to equivalents for 14dpo I was worried this was too light!!

God its never ending isn’t it…..

I took another one from the same lot of wee which is the lowest one which may be a little darker?? I don’t know, what do you think? X

I think they look absolutely fine 🥰 HCG doubles every 48 hours so I think your tests look normal now. Congrats by the way ❤️

Thanks so much! It’s my first ever pregnancy so I’m probably being overly cautious and hyper aware but appreciate the reassurance so thank you 💖

again bottom two are today (14dpo), then 2nd is 13dpo and top is 12dpo!?

Maybe slightly- could you get 2 hcg blood tests to see if it’s rising?

I had a normal successful pregnancy in 2018 where I drove myself a bit crazy by doing tests to check progression and tracking BBT. I'd say you have a strong positive and now in a really kind way I'd step away from the tests. They're honestly not meant to be used to check progression in the way several hCg bloods do and you can get worried when there's nothing to worry about.

I totally get it - I really wanted to know first time around that it was going okay and that'd I'd have pre warning if it wasn't but several times I thought things weren't progress and she's now 5.

I am the same now in that I wish I knew but am staying away from the tests 🤞

Thanks so much for your message - you are very right, it’s so easy to get swept up in it all isn’t it. I’m having a hcg test today and on Sunday so going to try and take a step back from things!

Appreciate the words 💖
