Dye stealer pregnancy test fading?

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice. I am currently 5w+4 days pregnant. Because of being anxious I have been testing a lot which I told myself I wouldn't do. I had my first 'dye stealer' towards the end of last week. I did another test today and the control line is darker than it has been. Does this mean it's fading?

Unfortunately I have had multiple chemical pregnancies and this is how I found out o was having them the previous times. However, this cycle I implanted earlier and have been pregnant for the longest I've ever been.

I am wondering what other peoples stories are either to have some reassurance or prepare for the worst.

TIA X

I think what is adding to the worry is that I have barely had any symptoms as of yet x

They look fine. Stop testing now. They really don’t bring you comfort, just cause more stress. Better off booking a scan

Get rid of all the tests in your house. Unless you start bleeding, you need to assume that all is well. You may experience some period like aching in the first few weeks which is very normal.

I had no symptoms whatsoever with my healthy pregnancies. No tender breasts, no nausea, no aversions... nothing. Both were very straighforward pregnancies with bang on measurements.

Thank you for the reassurance. It's just really hard after having multiple losses. I have a scan in a few weeks x

It took another 5 days or so to really show an obvious positive but I'm now 32 weeks pregnant
