Darker test lines in the afternoon? Worried!

Hello
I got a paint positive with first wee yesterday morning (10dpo ish!). Tested again at 1:30pm (held my wee until then so it was only my second wee!) and it was a much stronger line.
Tested this morning and it’s about the same as yesterday afternoon. I’d say slightly lighter this morning. I’m worrying now incase it’s a chemical!
Top photo is yesterday morning
Middle yesterday afternoon
Bottom is this morning

anyone had similar experience? 😬

Honestly you’ll drive yourself mad if you keep testing twice a day.
At the moment you are pregnant, which is wonderful.
Easier said than done, but if you must test again, I would wait at least a few days.
congratulations.

Test around 14dpo for accurate results. Your level of hydration also impacts the lines at this early stage

I knew this would be first response before I even opened the thread because I had the exact same with stronger lines in the afternoon. That second pink line is now a 4 year old!
