Should I just give up now?

I got a super faint positive at 9 DPO. Since then, the test lines have only gotten slightly darker, but they’re still very faint. I’m 16 DPO today, so it’s been a full week since my first positive. My period is also about 6 days late now.
Should i just give up now?

Sorry, I can’t see any positive tests there, there are some which have an evaporation line, but not positive. Sometimes periods are just late. Yes, I would give up on testing for a bit, stress can definitely delay a period.

Sorry, I’ve just reread your post. I don’t think you are reading the tests correctly. The line that is showing is the test line, it doesn’t matter how dark that gets. You need two lines on the test strip for pregnancy.
