POAS Addicts - when did your BFP turn darker as the control line?

in 1st Trimester
Man, TTC after Loss brain is BRUTAL! I have been POAS since 8DPO and finally got my BFP at 11DPO. I've still been POAS and my lines aren't really getting much darker. I also don't have any symptoms at all. I am getting my BETAs done tomorrow, but I won't know if they've doubled until Thursday... this wait is TORTURE!

    My 17DPO post MIGHT be the same darkness as 14DPO

    The darkness of the line is irrelevant; I had a miscarriage after having a week straight of bold, dark lines. I know it's tough, but step away from the pregnancy tests and wait for your betas.

    As a former POAS Addict, I agree with PPs and advise you to stop POAS. Also, it's against TOU/Guidelines to post pix of pee sticks.

    HPTs are qualitative, not quantitative. They tell you whether or not there is HCG in your system, not how much. The darkness of the line only indicates how much dye was used in making the test. 

    My lines were never terribly dark. Stop POAS-- it only says "yes or no" not how much HCG is present.
