Pregnancy tests!!

Hi. I am paranoid about a chemical pregnancy. I have done 3 cheap tests Thursday, Friday and today and they are all so faint and not getting darker. However I took an early response this morning (due on today) and this is it. Should I be worried that the other tests aren't getting darker? And is this faint for 4 weeks?! Pregnancy drives my anxiety insane! Hmm

Try not to worry, the control line is usually considerably darker early on, I wouldn't worry about a faint line early on either, a line is a line. I understand your anxiety though, i was the same throughout my pregnancy. Chances are all is fine though.

Thank you! Just so weird that all tests are different! Makes me panic and I'm expecting to come on any minute! Have period cramps too!
These are all from today! The bottom test is the same type of line that was there days ago! I just thought at 4 weeks the lines would be really dark Sad

Hey, I’d try not to worry too much about the cheap tests. I had ivf a few months ago and the only reliable one for lines was frer and mine was very similar to yours at 4 weeks (9 days after transfer for me). The cheap tests and strip tests especially were all over the place and didn’t show a decent line until 5 weeks, even the supposedly sensitive one. Test with the first response ones every other day. I think my two lines on first response only matched each other at 5 weeks also. Good luck! Xx

Congratulations!!
In my last pregnancy the cheap ones were ok but this time I'm just not getting a dark line and it's causing me such anxiety!!
