Are these tests only 1 day apart? If so, I wouldn’t really expect to see a difference, HCG doubles roughly every 48 hours.

Also depending on how many dpo you are, if very early then I wouldn’t expect to see much difference x

These are my tests from 11dpo and 14dpo. They actually got a little bit lighter and I was convinced it was a miscarriage. She’s now 11 weeks old and absolutely perfect.

I totally understand wanting to keep testing to see the lines get darker, but more often than not they just cause so much anxiety it’s not worth it. You are pregnant, stop testing now.

@BN95 that was my third as well, only one I’ve ever tested more than once with. Also much more anxious than with the others. You’d think the third would be calmer 😂

OP I understand your concerns. I've had chemical pregnancies and each time my anxiety was heightened.
You have a postive test, however faint, a line is still a line and all you can do I'm afraid is wait and see.
I'd advise you to stop testing and ask your gp for bloods that's the only way to confirm if your pregnancy is progressing as it should.
The tests aren't reliable and aren't supposed to be used to measure hcg or indicate pregnancy progression.
My lines didn't progress for several weeks but I'm now 15 weeks.
