20dpo and concerned tests are not dark enough or progressing

[Spence91]

Hello, I've suffered 3 missed miscarriages in the last 18 months & had a chemical last month too. Tested positive this month whilst on letrozole and all looked ok at first however I have been a serial tester (I know I shouldn't! But my anxiety from multiple losses means this helps me to prepare for bad news)
I'm really concerned that the tests are just not getting dark enough- I see countless posts on here with really dark tests at this time (20dpo). I can't be too wrong with my dates as I tested positive 4 days before my period.
I've added photos of my one stop ones from first day to now (note lack of progression in the last week) and then a photo of the Easy@Home from yesterday ( which feels super light). Today's clear blue (one of the 6 days early tests) looks relatively strong but the fact the other tests are pretty light compared to most people concerns me that it's not progressing properly.

I have a scan next week due to recurrent miscarriages but right now I am convinced it will be bad news.

Any success stories from people with similar light tests going on to have successful pregnancies would be greatly received.

Thanks in advance

Bumping for you OP - hope someone can help! Please update after the scan in case anyone searches and finds your thread in the future

so sorry to hear of your tough journey, I’ve been on similar so get it. I’m a little ahead of you op after my final ivf; equivalent of about 23 dpo; only today did my one step get dark; my FRERs have been dye stealers for 5/6 days - maybe try a diff test? Or get hcg bloods done to test levels? you should hear heartbeat in an early viability scan from about 6+4 if you wanted to ease your stress as well x

@rainycoldboothank you so much for trying to help, it's really appreciated. I will make sure I update next week when I know more.

@MotherOfShihTzusim so sorry to hear you have been experiencing similar situations, it's absolutely heartbreaking how many of us have to deal with this. Thank you for sharing your experience it's really kind. I might try ordering a different brand to see, although I am pretty sure I know the outcome, it feels so similar to my last loss. I have a scan next week at 6+1 so I will have an idea then if things appear to be measuring correctly, and if not, we will have to deal with that & then try again 😔. Thank you again for sharing and I will keep everything crossed that this works well for you 🙏🏼
