Tests dark from quite early but no real line progression

[Unusualtests]

What does it mean to have very dark tests from 10dpo but the lines are the same darkness every day (fmu and same brand for each test)? Maybe a slight variation on one of the days (now 15dpo) but they don’t look right in the past I’ve only got a faint positive on 12dpo then a visible progression. This is just confusing me!

Today’s was a dye stealer so at least there is visible progression now . Just confused still
as to why days 10-15 dpo were all the same

Sometimes the tests get to a certain level once they get dark and then takes a lot of hcg to move them. It takes high hcg levels to get them to dye stealers and that's probably why you noticed they stalled for a couple of days and then you got your dye stealer.

Yes I think it must be that ? I was just getting concerned they were so dark from so early and not changing

Hcg takes 2 to 3 days to double so it wont really show much progression over night and then once they look like the control line thats as dark as they get until your hcg get quite high and this intern can finally make dye stealers.

That makes sense thankyou I was worrying!

Try not to worry too much. Pregnancy is hard enough. Try to take on the joy of a positive pregnancy test and worry about everything else later if there is something to have to worry about. For me personally , the way I got through my early was enjoying and celebrating the small wins, and then planing my next step. I would stay busy and try to do something every day even if I just went for a walk . I did lots of reading, but I also had other kids to occupy my time. The trick for me was to try not to worry about the things that could go wrong and concentrate on what was going right at the time.
