I've found out I'm pregnant and just monitoring line progression as I previously miscarried and had noticed at that time the lines were getting lighter until bleeding started.

I know there's nothing I can do but wait however think I'm sending myself stir crazy looking at these trying to see if it is progressing.

I also have unfortunately used two different brands of tests 🤦🏻‍♀️ so stressing myself out that my 3+5 looks darker than my 3+6. The two brands have different sensitivities (middle 2 are 10 for measuring hcg and either end 20) so wondered if this could be a reason for the 3+6 being lighter

Any help would be so appreciated

I know it's easier said than done love but, if you can, try to put the tests down for now! Pregnancy tests are used to give a positive or negative result and aren't reliable for tracking how dark the line is as maaaany things can affect it (like how much you've drank or when in the day you take it)

Id say give it a few days if you can (I know it's really hard, I'm not belittling that) and even if you need to keep testing to stay sane, try to do it every few days rather than every day!

A line is a line my love. You're pregnant!!!

Ah thank you so much, I know I'm a nightmare I can feel it in myself 😂.

Your so kind thanks so much for just giving me the reassurance that I'm not going crazy and it can be affected by loads of different factors ❤️

Honestly I get you girlie!!! I was a mare when I first got my BFP, I had very faint lines for daaaays but when I got the digital confirmation and saw the words pregnant I stopped testing cause I felt satisfied with that. Doesn't mean the worrying ever stopped though! You're definitely not alone!!! Sooo many pee on a stick obsessed girls on here! 😂

Allow yourself to be excited that you got a positive! Good luck and sending you a huge cuddle xxx

Hi 😘 the line progression is a thing 😘 I’ve had 4 chemicals in the past year and each time I’ve watched the lines get lighter.
people say stop testing but I found it helped me accept and prepare both emotionally and physically. I knew I was about to miscarry. Rather than be caught out.
so I’m all for the testing 😘
I hope this is the one for you. Sending love and a hand to hold ❤️
