So last month I suffered a chemical pregnancy and have fallen again this month. I am so paranoid and a constant tester. Yesterday at 15dpo I tested and got a 1-2 weeks on a digital and today I got 2-3 weeks so it must be going in the right direction.

the only thing I’m worried about is I did a first response at 14dpo and it hasn’t got darker between then and 16 dpo. However the digital has gone up in weeks?
am I being paranoid and should tests get darker noticeably every 48 hours.

Tests reallt don't work like that. The lines is pretty dark to start with so it's not gonna get much darker. It prob will at the start as it starts faint so changes are more noticeable. Also lots of things can effect the darkness Inc how dehydrated you are.

All those tests look really good and healthy. Stop testing now as it'll drive you mad.

And congrats and good luck

The tests could be lighter/darker just based on how strong the HCG is at that time of the day rather than it being to related to how strong a positive it is if you get me?

All those tests are very strong! Just wait until you're well overdue your period..so hard waiting.

I had x2 chemicals also so I know how disappointing the tests can be!

Hiya. I have only tested in the morning, but you’re right I could have just been more hydrated and had a slightly more weak urine. It isn’t getting any lighter so I’m not too worried, I just get so over paranoid if it hasn’t for significantly darker, but they do look good and strong so I know I need to relax.
pregnancy after loss is just so different! X

Definitely stop testing now on frers. They are dark. Take another CB weeks in a weeks time if you want to see 3+ but no others. I had 2 CPs in a row and now 11weeks pregnant and I only took the 2 frers at 14 dpo and 18dpo. The 14dpo was just like yours and the 18dpo was only a little bit darker (slight dye stealer) but I got a 3+ on CB weeks at 22dpo (I only took the one digital) and then I stopped as I knew I would just be feeding my anxiety and it doesn’t change things or stop you worrying for long.

I know it’s hard, trust me I know, but taking more tests won’t help you now. I had a private scan at 9 weeks to check it was ok in there. I waited until then as after 8 weeks the chance of miscarriage drops if a healthy heartbeat is seen. Maybe it’s something you could do?
