Is this positive line too weak?

I am 9 days past a five day frozen embryo transfer. I am 39 after multiple fertility cycles and have never seen a positive test before this!

On day 7 I tested as well and the line that appeared was no fainter than it is now - it doesn't seem to have changed at all.

Should it be darker? If I think about it, a five day old embryo with a 9 day period is 14DPO - would you expect a darker line at this stage please?

I have an HCG blood test with my clinic on Monday but now need to wait the weekend. Worried my levels are too low and it could be a chemical. I am on both oral and daily injectable progesterone.

Thanks for reading!

I’m assuming natural transfer, no trigger shot?
are you saying ET was 9 days ago? It’s still quite early then. Adhesion and invasion take place days 3-5 with a 5 day blastocyst, so hCG only enters the blood stream day 6.

Congratulations on your positive test.🎉
I hope all goes well 🤞🏻

Yes, a natural transfer with no trigger. Thank you for your reassurance. Yes it is still quite early, that's a good point.
