Pregnancy test not gettin any darker. Should I be worried?

[Joey45]

Hi, Im use looking some advice. Maybe I'm worrying over nothing. Hope someone can help. My period was due on Monday however I tested neg. I only tested positive on Thursday, 3 days late, and even then it was such a faint line. Yesterday was a faint line as well and morning urine today was still faint. Should this be getting darker by now? I'm getting very worried that I'm not getting a strong positive. With my daughter 2 years ago I got a strong pos straight away. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I didn't use the ones with lines so can't answer directly, I used the digital ones and there is a version that says number of wks on it - you could trying one of them instead to put your mind at rest?

Congratulations on your BFP's! No you shouldn't be worried. The darkness of the line has nothing to do with it. I've never had a strong positive. Please don't be worried

No I wouldn't worry! This exact thing happened to me and I'm now 29 weeks pregnant :-) x

Congratulations by the way! X

Mine didn't, for two weeks I tortured myself because they were so faint - 26 weeks today so clearly didn't matter

Thanks guys for all the reassurance. I was really worried incase it meant my levels wernt very strong and might miscarry. But im more reassured :) im gonna go to the doctor next week and get them to do a blood test just to be sure. Thanks for all the replys, i can enjoy my weekend now! Good luck with the bumps!

Don't worry! Also, step away from the bloody digital tests. They are NOT an accurate indicate of rising HCG levels. The only way to tell is an HCG blood test or (in a couple of weeks) a scan.

Congratulations!
