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 ❤️
