Do my tests look like they are darkening? Top test is 14dpo and bottom is 16dpo, both with SMU as I found that works better for me than FMU. I've started having cramps that keep coming and going on left side above hip into back, like a stretching and tightening sensation can sometimes be sharp. Is this normal? I've had 2 previous miscarriages and im starting to freak out.

Second test seems slightly darker, and stretching and twinges can be completely normal in early pregnancy.

Definitely darker, the symptoms you describe are normal too but after miscarriages I can understand your anxiety. Good luck x
