Line Progression… Help?!?

I got my first positive at 10 DPO and this is my line progression, feel like it did real good in the first couple of days but now it has just stopped getting darker and the last couple of days are the same… does anyone else see a difference? Here is today’s test as well, should I be getting a dye stealer???

That’s probably as dark as it’s going to get. You’re definitely pregnant, relax x

I had a miscarriage in August, so I think my anxiety is just through the roof

After 5 pregnancies and only 1 baby... I absolutely understand your anxiety. But you are actually just stressing yourself out more which isn't good. You are definitely pregnant right now, please step away from the tests. I say this with complete kindness.

Not everybody gets a dye stealer. Some people never even get strong lines. You have very strong lines.

These look great @JHpr

I’ve found mine stopped progressing too, see photos here of 15,17,19&20 dpo - been advised to wait it out and worry if they start to get lighter but it’s hard! I hope your comforted at least a bit by how dark they are compared to mine 😂

The tests only pick up a certain level of HCG so they won't indefinitely get darker and darker

@BudgetBusterthank you that is helpful! So do you think it’s ok mine are “stuck” at this level? It’s just concerning when other peoples tests on the same brand is much darker lines.

Yep.... the tests aren't built to keep getting darker and darker so they'll just plateau. You'll stress yourself out for no reason.

In my experience even with IVF twins those tests didn’t get that dark - I would do the CB tests with weeks instead

This is the difference between yesterday and today’s test, think I’m happy I can see a clear darker line on this mornings

Remember also that HCG only increases every 48 hours so comparing a test from Monday to today would actually be more accurate 😊
Also, tests plateau so that's probably as dark as you will get.

These look great! I’d be quite happy with these tests!

JHpr · 15/10/2025 21:53

I know that you’re saying that HCG only doubles every 48 hours but this is my test from yesterday, this morning and this evening and that line is definitely getting darker
