Line progression?

I'm a little worried I'm having a chemical pregnancy.

I got a bfp on Monday when I was 9dpo on a clear blue early detection. It took about 30 seconds to show and I was thrilled. I did a digital test which said 1-2 weeks.

I've been planning to wait for a 3+ to make appointments and really get excited. I'm sure there are some poas addicts here that can understand it only took me until Thurs (12 dpo) to do another cheap freedom test. This was so so faint, a real squinter so I started to worry. I've been doing some cheap (but not as cheap) early sign tests now too to watch the progression and I'm not sure it's normal. At the 5 minute mark the tests are still faint even today (I'm now 15dpo)but as the dye dries they get a lot darker and there is some progression I can see now. I did another digital yesterday and that said 1-2 weeks still and I got another clear blue, but this one was rapid detection. That was positive very quickly too with a stronger line than before but I just can't help this nagging feeling that something isn't quite right.

I should add I had some spotting since 5dpo, after intercourse and bm mostly. This stopped on Tues/weds after the bfp. When I conceived my DD I got 2-3 weeks on the digital very early and I had obvious progression on all tests. I just don't really know what to think this time.

I've attached pics of my early sign tests. They're not labelled but go from 9dpo, 12dpo, 13dpo, 14 dpo and 15dpo and also my clear blue ones. They are from 9, 10 and 14dpo. Please can anyone shed some light if they've experienced similar and what the outcome was? I'm planning on doing my last digital test tomo to see if it still says 1-2 weeks as that will be officially one week since my first positive but I'm so nervous.

Looks like a good progression to me OP. Comparing it to another pregnancy isn’t fair as you don’t know when you implanted and the rates of development will vary but can still be perfectly healthy. This is looking perfectly fine for 4 weeks - best of luck x

Thank you so much, its nice to hear some reassurance. I don't know if I'm just paranoid and expecting the worst. The tests look more reassuring after a while, it's just how long they take to darken. Like, even 10 minutes after dipping the test it's still faint. It takes about an hour I think to actually look like a proper line 😕 x
