7/8dpo My tests have darkened rapidly on the same day

Im 7 or 8 dpo. I took a test at 9am, very faint but positive.
Took another at 1pm ... It's way stronger (I also took another with the same urine to make sure it wasn't a dud and that was just as dark) I'll add a picture. Is this normal, it seems to have increased rather fast? Any similar experiences?

The tests aren't really that accurate in terms of exacting amounts, they're really just designed to be a binary positive or negative but the amount of hCG clearly means a stronger result - it's just not as scientific as we might hope. However your hCG would be increasing quickly and your urine may have been more concentrated? So yes I think normal, I know some people always get a better result in the afternoon.

What is it you're worried about?

Thank you for your reply, yeah I've also noticed that especially with these early detection ones.
It's just a shock, I wasn't expecting it at all after previous losses. Oh I have No worries just making sure it's normal? For lack of a better word but I know everyone is different.

I was also thinking twins but I'll leave that fear for later 😆
I'm just hoping this little one sticks
