Test lines dark enough?

Hi all! I’ve read through EVERY forum in here driving myself mad. I am OFFICIALLY not testing anymore. I was concerned about my boots tests not getting significantly darker, but the cheapy kind of was. Then I took a FRER today (I’m officially 4 days late as I was due on Monday) and it’s pretty dark. I’m more concerned people have dye stealers way before me. I had a chemical in November and watched the lines fade so I’ve been obsessed with testing but I think it’s causing me more harm than good. Do some people just not get dye stealers? I’ve had bloods drawn today and get the results Monday! The first response is todays test! Praying for a sticky baby

Some people don’t get dye stealers, and also at only 4 days post missed period, hormone levels aren’t really dye stealer levels anyway. Repeat ‘today I am pregnant’ and step away from the tests OP! Nobody can guarantee you a healthy baby, but today you are pregnant.

@Coffeellama thank you ❤️ I’m definitely not testing anymore. I’ve actually been writing it down ‘I am pregnant’ and putting it in my pocket everyday lol.

I didn’t get a dark test until 5 weeks, didn’t get a dye stealer. I’m now 13 weeks. Mine also got lighter between 11 DPO and 14dpo and had bleeding at 9 weeks. Everything is fine with baby. As pp said, you are pregnant. The tests can’t tell you anything else so best to put them down.

@JGIVF2023 hi, this is my old thread, this pregnancy I got to 12 weeks, and I went for a scan and my baby died at 8 weeks. So the tests was absolutely fine and was telling me I was pregnant :) and they got much darker after this! I actually just found out im pregnant again and im 4+5!
