Last reassurance on test? 17dpo

I have taken my last tests today, I'm forcing myself to stop testing now because I know it's not necessarily an indicator of things being okay or not. I am 17dpo/4w5d, and AF would have been due on Tuesday at 12dpo.

For a last reassurance, are these lines looking okay for this far along? I've had a slow but steady progression and all I see online is really strong tests early on. I think I've become line blind and can't tell what's okay or not anymore! The slow progression has messed with my head because I've been online too much 😅

@LikeARacoonOnMeth haha that's the plan! I spent so long trying to conceive I didn't give any thought to actually being pregnant and now I just find myself stressed!

Stressing is the absolute worst thing for conception and pregnancy. Lines in tests do not indicate a viable pregnancy either.

Im 30 weeks and my tests were insanely faint. My friend has a MC and continued to have dark tests until two weeks after her D&C.

Put the tests down and enjoy your pregnancy. Congrats!!

Congratulations! Those look like very strong lines. I am also 4w5d and AF would have been due on Tuesday past. I tested last night again for reassurance and got quite a similar line to yours.
I hope you can manage to stop testing and enjoy being pregnant although I too can't help but worry.
