Is my line getting weaker? Just had light pink spotting after bowel movement - cervical ectropion

Warning pic below.

sigh. After 3 recurrent miscarriages I’m now 4 weeks 5 pregnant. I just had a bowel movement and when I wiped I had light pink mucus. I don’t have any cramps as how I did before when I miscarry. I went on google and saw if you have cervical ectropion (which I have) you might bleed a little after a bowel movement. I just took another cheap pregnancy test to see if I’m having a chemical. This is the second time I’ve used these tests. I’m so confused by 2 lines. Which line shows the pregnancy confirmation ? The top pic is a test I took one day before my period, and the bottom pic is the test I just took now

Urgh I’ve just messed up the pics. I’ve added the dates here. Sorry for the confusion! I just asked my husband and he said the line circled in blue is the pregnancy line determination

It's gotten darker xx

The line nearest the pink bit is the control line. The other line is the test line. Yours is definitely getting stronger but it’s unlikely to get any darker than that. I would stop testing now though, tests aren’t designed to tell you anything else that pregnant or not. Spotting is very common in early pregnancy so try not to worry.

I wasn’t as early on in my pregnancy as you (probably 16 weeks) but I experienced spotting / bleeding after bowel movements. This continued throughout my pregnancy until I delivered a healthy baby. I’d had a couple
of colposcopy’s in the years prior to conceiving due to abnormal smear results so my cervix has always done (and still does) strange things.
As PP’s have said the control line is the one on the right and your line is getting darker.

I had the same pink discharge at 5+3 and a couple of days later. I was scanned at 6+4 with a healthy heartbeat x

Ah thanks all 😌 no spotting since the wipe. @twoandcooplease glad your scan went well. I have a reassurance scan booked in for 7weeks5 days. Can’t wait for 3 weeks I’m already an anxious wreck! @FarmersWife2019 thats reassuring to know you were similar to me. although if I keep bleeding throughout my pregnancy I’ll be constantly worried !
