4w pregnant, painful bleed, tears getting stronger and stronger

Evening, I’m having such a weird time.
I had a chemical pregnancy in March, so naturally anxious this time round.

1.01 highest LH test 28.05 - didn’t test after that
Apps predicted period Friday/Saturday just gone.

Last weds - faint positive (very, very faint)
Tested every morning and was struggling to see progression on tests
until I put them into a picture close together, was preparing myself for another chemical.

Thursday daytime - small amount of pink spotting - eased off in 2 wipes.
Last night, more pink that turned red and heavy and pretty painful. I was convinced that was it, pregnancy gone, until this morning when my tests were still very much positive.
I’ve been to A&E today as it was a heavy period type bleed and was really painful last night. I’ve had some bloods taken, a speculum and arranged a scan next Tuesday (I’d be around 5w 4d)
However since this, my tests are getting darker and darker. Darkest they’ve been in the whole time testing! The pains subsided. Bleeding slowly calming down.

now I’m confused. The gynae doctor said she can’t rule out miscarriage/ectopic pregnancy - but has anyone had something similar and it’s turned out to be ok?
I’ll attach photos of the tests. Looking for reassurance and clinging onto any teeny splash of hope. X

first pic - top left > right - last weds, Thurs, Friday, sat, sun, Monday (first urine)
second - left > right, Thurs, Friday, Saturday Sunday Monday.

Then the 3rd and 4th picture is this evening after b heavy bleeding and being in a&e. I’m expecting them to go lighter but they’re getting darker!

Any ideas/reassurance would be amazing as I’m so confused and stressed. I don’t know what to think. TIA. X
