Does it Count as “Progression” if Test Line isn’t Darker but Control Line is Lighter?

First time posting! I’m over-testing, I know.

I am coming off of four consecutive losses and have been spotting, so the paranoia is there.

Had a beta draw at 18DPO (4W2D) and HCG was 1,015. Have another today to ensure numbers are doubling.

On home tests, does it count as “progression” if the test line remains the same but the control line gets lighter?

    I wouldn’t really look into the color of the lines in a HPT. The best way to measure levels is the HCG bloodwork so make sure you go every few days to make sure it keeps increasing. I know it’s nerve wracking and we hold on to every little thing to assure us everything is well. I wish you all the best!

    I feel like the line can only get so dark and your’s looks really solid!  If your HCG is doubling I’d take that as a good sign.
