So … I’ve found out I’m pregnant very unexpectedly as an assumed 11 DPO. I had a lovely positive with an early detection test and a clear blue early detection digital. However my easy at home tests are still fairly faint. The line has progressed from dpo 11 to 14 but my anxiety is sending me round the bend. Just need some advice on is it normal to have a test like this 2 days late? Included both tests to show progression

You now have 4 positive tests, put the tests don't and try your best not to stress! Everyone is different. I never had any of those dye stealer type of tests and always tested quite faint on these easy @ home ones.

Agree with this. Of course early losses happen and it’s incredibly sad. But these tests and line progression aren’t an exact science and not a predictor of how the pregnancy will go. You have your positives. Surrender to the process now. If you think testing helps then set yourself a goal to only test once or twice a week. Daily testing will drive you mad when there are so many reasons for a line to be lighter on some days than others.

I am currently 17DPO and my 11DPO and 14 DPO tests look very similar to yours. My line has continued to get darker but still isn’t quite as dark as the control line. I was super stressed about the progression at first but now I can see the progression over a week I feel a bit better about it. Obviously it’s still super early days for me too so I can’t say for sure that everything will be fine but fingers crossed for us both!
