Does anyone have any positive stories of test strip lines being consistent? Not getting darker, not getting lighter.

I've been testing positive for 7 days now (2 days past AF date currently). The lines were progressing but the last 3 including today's havent moved. Just a line. Not a faint line, but not a dye stealer either. In most of my pregnancies the line has darkened every day or 2. I've had 5 losses and the chemical I had went faint quite quick.

I have the normal symptoms I've had previously at this time, little muscle pulls, nausea etc but I'm really worried if the aren't getting darker it's another pending miscarriage.

And yes I know time will tell but I'd just like any similar stories with postive outcomes (if they exist 🙈) Also if anyone has pics of this I'd really appreciate it ❤

with my second pregnancy my first test (easy at home) gave a vvvvv faint line 8dpo. that line got only slightly darker a day or so later (i took multiple tests) then stayed that way for around 10 days until it gradually got darker. stay positive, fingers crossed for you!

my first pregnancy was different. darkish line with the second test i took.

what tests are you using? They don’t always have equal amounts of dye in and ICs don’t have as much as frer for example.

Thank you so much for responding. Yeah they have just stayed the same. Definitely positive, its just a shame they don't seem to change. It lovely to hear this! I know it won't change what will be but if it helps worry a tiny bit less for now it's very appreciated. ❤

Hello thank you for replying. Its the easy at home strip tests. I thought that may be it but I do see people using them with great progression lines x

I had the exact same with easy at home - got darker consistently for about a week after testing positive the first time, but then never got any darker after that. Certainly no dye stealers like I’ve seen other people get! Now 11 weeks and saw baby wriggling away at a scan last week ☺️

Hello, just thought I'd update my OP as I know it's always a pain when you search an issue and the end story isn't there. Sadly for me it was another MC. (No 6 now 😒) butttt if anyone finds this post in a search what I would say is I did read and hear alot of postive stories about faint lines because beautiful babies xx
