Does this look like good line progression? The first was 4 days ago and the last one this evening.

There’s so much dye bleed on that one it’s impossible to tell tbh. There’s also dyebleed along the top edge of the first one and the test line at the bottom, furthest away from that dye run, isn’t very coloured. I’d re test using a branded or maybe take a digital with weeks indicator.
Don’t test midstream, collect a sample and dip a test in to avoid flooding and causing dye bleed.

On second photo there really isn't dye bleed, it's stark white behind the lines in reality. The lighting in the room was very poor. I'll post another pic in the morning in natural light.

Here is a clearer photo of last night's test. I'm just anxious as I've had 2 MCs this year and desperately want everything to be ok this time.

I really do understand the anxiety but honestly, testing repeatedly won't tell you anything re the outcome and will probably drive your anxiety. For now you're pregnant. One day at a time. Wishing you well.

Agree with PP, testing for progression can be a mind fuck.

I totally get it, as I did the same after my MMC.

However, my test got lighter one day and I spent the whole day crying and told DH it would be a chemical.

I kept testing, and tests were all over the place (some light, some dark) even though I was using the same tests (FRER).
For me, my HCG levels were always way lower in the morning and tests would be much lighter than the evening before.

Anyway, the result of those 30+ pregnancy tests is now a one year old who is currently having a nap.
I wish I hadn't wasted all of that time, money and energy.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, and I really hope all goes well for you x

@SkylarH that's a reassuring post, thank you x
