Do my tests look okay for 4w5ds/19dpo? Anyone else with slow progression on tests turn out okay?

I’m possibly just driving myself crazy but it’s hard not to as my last pregnancy was a whole up and down from start to finish!

I keep trying to not test daily but it’s hard not to. Tests in picture from 10dpo to 19dpo and I feel like it’s stalled the last few days. :( I’m also a little nervous that today’s looks slightly lighter than yesterdays.

Im sure most have dyestealers by this point so I can’t help but think something’s wrong 😭

did anyone’s progression slow right down and everything has been fine since?

I’ve just got a dye stealer on those tests at 23DPO so don’t worry too much. They are less sensitive x

Thank you so much!

if the start of my last pregnancy wasn’t so flipping wild I probably would’ve stopped testing and not be spiralling about it all now 😭

Ive spend the morning reading through every review of them on Amazon and a few people have given me hope saying they didn’t get any darker until 23dpo or 5weeks++

I tried talking to my husband about it all and he thinks I’m being silly. I’ve had literally no other reason to worry. But I have ordered some other brands of tests to try just for some piece of mind hopefully!!

This is today’s on smu which seems a lot darker

I really hope this is a good sign 🤞

I have 3 more of these tests left and a digital that I’ll take at 6weeks (either Monday or Tuesday)

Unfortunately this turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy 😞
