Test anxiety

[Loveyouroyal]

Hi, I tested 9DPO (yesterday) and had quite strong tests for 9DPO (morning and afternoon) I tested as soon as I woke up this morning 10DPO and the tests look lighter. I had a miscarriage a few months ago so I am petrified😭 anyone had the same and had a successful pregnancy. I’ve uploaded images. The last test is yesterdays and the 2 above and clear blues are today. I’m just worried as surely they should get darker not lighter.

Here’s the tests, bottom was 9dpo (darker)

ive tried clear blue and easy at home. What test would you recommend?

they was good but today showing light x

things like how diluted urine is and amount of dye in a test can determine how dark lines are.

I’ve attached my photo of my 11dpo and 14dpo tests, my 14dpo was lighter and I really thought I was losing the pregnancy, I currently have my 5 week old snuggled up on me. I totally understand wanting to try and get any reassurance in the early days, but those tests caused me so much unnecessary stress, now I would always advise anyone to stop testing after getting their positive.

Oh wow! Was both tests taken at the same time of the day ? X.

@Loveyouroyal yes, same time of day, same brand tests from the same box. I never tested more than once with my first two but this one I decided to use the other test in the box. I thought giving a few days of see a darker line. Sent me spiralling into a mess of anxiety.

Try not to worry, it's so early you really just can't control anything at this point. There will be people who didn't have a line at all at 9dpo and went on to have successful pregnancies, and they'll be those that didn't. I know it's a desperate stage but don't put any stock into these lines at least until you are due on. Mine didn't start getting darker until about 5 days after I was due. It's different for everyone x
