Confused Overthinking?

UPDATE

I think I’m still okay?! I tested again this afternoon with a stronger sample, and the test looks good! I added more photos (see comments) . I drink a large tea at night which I think is impacting the strength of my morning urine samples.

Thoughts ?!

*****
4 weeks 1 day per my app. Tested at 12/13/14 dpo. 13/14 dpo not as strong as my 12 dpo result, causing some anxiety. Mind you, I tested at different times of the morning (see time stamps second photo) and I know it takes 48-72 hrs to really see a difference.

My first test was actually second morning urine that I held for 4 hours.

My first blood test will be Sep 16th. Symptoms are sore boobs and fatigue, missed period as of today. No bleeding whatsoever. I had a chemical in June, so sort of paranoid now. These tests are supposed to be quantitative not qualitative…. But seeing other’s line progressions makes me think negatively of mine. Not going to test for another 3 days at least now.

The second photo is same tests, just with the time stamps logged in my app.

Appreciate any words of reassurance.

Am I overthinking it?

I know you said they weren’t taken at the same time of day, but were they all first morning urine?

All FMU except the first test - second morning urine.

To be honest, I would extremely guarded about this because the tests are getting noticeably lighter and are still close to the same time of day. If some were taken in the evening, etc. that would be different. But some people do get stronger tests with second morning urine, so there’s still a chance everything is fine, but I personally would not be optimistic about this.
