Should the line be darker at 12dpo?

I cannot see that the line has got much lighter since my test at 11dpo. It’s probably a silly question, but helpful comments from anyone with experience on progression would help?

It really depends, are both tests from the same batch, was your urine as concentrated etc
12dpo is still early
Fingers crossed though

@Bluebellysmell thanks for coming back to me

Not from the same batch but same brand. I had held off going to the loo for say 3/4 hours prior to testing with both.

This was my test at 11dpo…

I think I just need to stop testing and hope for the best!

I think the expectation is that hcg doubles roughly every 48 hours, so in your case Id wait another day, test first thing in the morning and use that as a comparison.
Congrats on your positive test!

@Littlegreenpebbles thank you! That makes a lot of sense! 🤞
