When do pregnancy test lines stop getting any darker?

I have been testing since Monday…the lines all look the same to me. Lol, I was trying to see if my hcg keeps doubling. But they’re all the same and not getting any darker than this. What do your lines look like once the test line has become darker than the control? Do they stay like this or do they get darker? This pic is from yesterday at noon. More pics in comments.

Sorry, the clearblue above was FMU (not noon)

I don’t know too much, but I do know if you test first thing in the morning or after waiting 3 or 4 hours to test, then the levels will be more concentrated. My first two were faint lines, but then I tried a few days later after waiting a couple hours and they were both SUPER dark.

If you’re already doing that, then I have no clue! I’m still new to all this 😅

Mine started looking exactly the same or even lighter as time went on. Today we saw a strong heartbeat on sonogram! I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry much about how dark that line is getting!

As a word of warning, stop testing!!! With my son, I tested SO much to the point my HCG got so high the Hook Effect kicked in. Basically, this means your HCG is so high it confuses the test and makes the lines lighter or disappear completely. My lines got lighter and I PANICKED! Please don't do that to yourself! It's not worth the stress ❤️

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?
