I’ve been away for the weekend so couldn’t test for 2 mornings in a row, got back and tested last night at 14 dpo and there was a strong line, however this morning it hasn’t got much darker, should I be concerned? Also got 2-3 weeks on a digital last night.

Don’t worry! Everyone is different, mine never got any darker than that really. At this point i would suggest not testing anymore as the tests aren’t designed to measure HCG progression

Hcg only doubles every 48 hours ish, you won’t see a difference in 9 hours.

Mine looked like yours and I’m now 8 weeks so it didn’t indicate a chemical. I had one morning it was really light (around 15-16 dpo) so I panicked but then I took another a few hours later and it was dark again!

It helped me to take a digital at around 21dpo and it came up with 3+

But also to not worry you if you don’t get 3+ - i read that the digitals don’t always show 3+, I never got 3+. I took one with FMU around 5.5 weeks (so 21+ days DPO) and it said 2-3 weeks. Did a blood test with EPAU and they said my HCG were looking really really good (despite the digital not showing this). Im now 11 weeks today ☺️

Thanks guys! I tested again this morning and the line is darker so does look like it’s heading in the right direction :)
