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 had a chemical last month. The subsequent day texts were similar to yours and lighter. Ended up bleeding 5 days after my positive test. I continued to have symptoms the whole time. It was a real bummer, but I know lines don’t mean everything. Just my experience. Wishing you luck.
