Are my test lines looking ok?

Hi all

I got my bfp at 8dpo. I tested early as I was advised by the RMC and my GP that when I get a positive test I will need to start taking cyclogest.

I'm currently 12dpo and done tests every day since 8dpo. But I'm worried and feel like this pregnancy is not ment to be. With my 21 month old and the MC I had just after her the lines on the tests was alot stronger and happened everyday.
Also with the clearblue digital weeks indicator I got to 2-3 by 12dpo and the frer test line was lighter than the control line
This one on the other hand is still saying 1-2 and the frer tests darker than control line.

This isn't my 1st pregnancy but my 12th pregnancy. Unfortunately I lost 10 of them.
Anyway could someone please look at the lines to see what they think. Am I being too paranoid. The photo with the 2 tests were taken this morning at 12dpo fmu (top) and SMU (bottom)
Thankyou all

I think your lines look fine but it’s difficult to tell from tests, they are not designed to measure the progression of hCG.

Your best bet would be to go to your GP and have your levels checked two days apart to see if it’s doubling for reassurance.

I’m sorry about all your miscarriages, I’ve had 7 so I fully appreciate how you are feeling but getting my levels checked was the only way I knew for sure it was at least going to stick in the short term.

I’m sorry for your losses 💐
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
I would say that pregnancy tests give yes or no results. Line progression is satisfying but you’re no more or less pregnant. And you are definitely pregnant based on all those tests!
If you have any concerns speak to a GP or obstetrician.

They’re good lines, have you started the progesterone yet? Now would be a good time if you haven’t - I took it from 2dpo and had a successful pregnancy after multiple losses.

Keeping everything crossed for you!

Thankyou all.
To ElleGB I started the cyclogest at 9dpo so the morning after I got my positive test.
Taken it ever since

Lines look good. I'm so sorry about your previous losses and can understand how anxious you must be but overtesting is not the answer. Constant testing isn't a reliable indicator of how things are progressing so if you can do try to leave longer between tests and please stop altogether soon as the lines can get lighter due to hook effect and not sinister reasons and that would just cause more anxiety.
