Test line progression

Morning. I hope someone can help me. I tested positive 3 days ago (I think at 11 DPO), been taking a test for the last 3 days using the same test but the line doesn’t seem to be darkening. Does this look ok? I think it looks lighter but thinking maybe it’s because the bottom one hasn’t dried like the others?

I’ve been cramping as if my period is coming for the last 4 days, and lower back ache at the moment

Some tests just don't get particularly dark so "progression" only goes to a particularly point. And different concentration of urine can make a difference, so I wouldn't worry about one looking a bit fainter than the day before. I know it's easier said than done but I'd try to stop daily testing if you can, as it can cause more anxiety than reassurance 💕

Thank you @PurpleTurtleMoose !! I don’t remember being this nervous with my first. I’m going to put the tests away and hope it all works out x
