I've been testing since 9dpo. I've had lines since then too.
These are just 4 tests. My first signal just want get darker. My frer have gotten darker but its been a very slow process.
Anyone have experience with chemicals or ectopic? I've had neither before. This is my 12th pregnancy. I have 10 kids already. And I know I've never had tests do this before.

I have had ectopics and chemicals, with chemicals my tests never progress much at all. Ectopics my levels were doubling and tests darkening. Hope it's just the tests hun your lines look good x
 
I have heard many stories of the first signal tests not ever really getting darker...try a different brand maybe?
 
I've also tried ept and i see some change first top is 16dpo(2hr hold) bottom is 18dpo(4 hr hold)

I also did rapid results from first response and they have been ok. There is no change in them though.

I think it's safe to say you are definitely pregnant...if you are concerned about mc I would suggest getting blood test to be sure your numbers are rising. Like most things in this world the tests are getting more expensive but with worse quality and I think that's the only issue here ;) Congrats!
 
these look good. I wouldn't worry unless they get lighter or you start bleeding. Can you call your dr and ask for a quantitative hcg test to monitor your numbers?
 
Thank you ladies. Its the weekend so on Monday ill call my Dr and see If I can get betas done. I have 2 tests left. A first signal and another frer. I really wish u can find more rapid result tests
 
They all really good!!! My chemical didn't get darker than your 12 dpo test x
 
With this pregnancy my tests stopped progressing around af due (13dpo) it was heart wrenching, but my betas came back doubling. I was terrified and confused and put the tests down and trusted my bloodwork, I see my boy on Monday for his 21w anatomy scan
 
With this pregnancy, my tests looked pretty much like yours do at 18/19dpo and I gave up testing shortly after as I was sick of the control line still being darker than the test line. I am now 28 weeks. Just give it time. With my ectopic they never got that dark even up around 7 weeks when it ruptured and with my chemical the lines were barely there...
 
Looking at your signature, you are probably in the same range of HCG level as before! Congrats! Some people just have lower than others snd it seems to be fine!
 
Yes. My 2 year old had low hcg but her tests were getting darker.
I took the last 2 tests yesterday to get them out of the way and stop testing. They both were much darker.

Top to bottom is 15dpo, 16dpo am, 16dpo pm, 18dpo, 20dpo
