Home tests aren't designed to show progression. If you're already 5 days late you may find you won't see a difference - not that there's anything wrong! It looks like a good solid positive. If you can l would advise to stop testing as it might make you worry more!

Wishing you all the best and a big congratulations!

Thankyou! I had a chemical in 2023 and this is the first time I’ve been pregnant since (as far as I know) so testing is getting abit much as Im worried!

Awww congratulations!!!! I found out the day after my missed period and the lines were pretty strong on those days. I’ve been testing every day since. Think I need to just stop and let it take its toll!

congratulations! I would also advise to stop testing if you can as it will make your anxiety worse. I feel for you as I had a chemical last year and then when I got pregnant again this year I was testing multiple times a day and was driving myself mad comparing test and I was desperate to see a dye stealer. My test never reached dye stealer darkness even at 6 weeks pregnant and I’m having twins. Try and stay positive and enjoy your positive 😊xx

This really gives me hope Thankyou so much..I had a chemical literally 2 days after I’d missed my period, got my positive aswell then.
this time it’s a lot stronger and im 6 days after my period was due but it’s awful I must’ve spent over £60 on tests the past few days.
i think that’s exactly what I’m doing, waiting for a dye stealer!!! Xx

I was the same I was taking so many and spent a fortune!! I kept comparing everything to my chemical but it was very different this time but I struggled to allow myself to think positive. You may get a dye stealer but in my case I didn’t and I’m 13 weeks with twins now so everyone is different but I do understand your anxieties xx
