Pregnancy tests staying the same

Hi girls, I got my first positive on Monday (4 days ago) I’ve been taking tests each day (two a day, I know I shouldn’t!) to see progression but I’m not seeing any dark lines, I’d be 4 weeks today and 16 days dpo! I know they’re getting slightly darker but is it a normal rate?
is this normal and am I stressing for nothing? Thank you girls 🥰

Hi OP!

i am not a fan of these tests,they didn’t go really dark for me until 5 weeks! But your lines look good ☺️ if you want more reassurance,the boots FRER are really good and show good line progression for you 👏🏻

I’d say your lines are definitely getting somewhere. You’ll only see a small difference when testing so often 🙃 I know it’s hard not too… I used these tests too and found them great for early detection but not so great for line progression. My lines didn’t get dark until about 5 weeks or so.

Thanks girls! I’ve taken 2 normal tests and they’ve come back very strong positive so I’ll try not to get too stressed over the strips haha! X
