Has anyone else had a lighter test at 12dpo then 11dpo?

I wouldnt worry about that, wait for it to dry. The problem is thst youre comparing wet tests to dry and dry will always be a bit darker. And the change in rhe early stages is minimal.

I found taking my photos at e.g. exactly 10mins after peeing meant i could then compare today's stick to yesterday's photo, which helps. Good luck. X

It looks darker to me? I think you’re focusing on the middle part of 11dpo test but if you look closely only a section of that test is darker than top / bottom. Whereas 12dpo looks darker throughout
