I don't think that the line necessarily gets darker. The amount of dye in those tests is not controlled perfectly, even from the same box. I know that I tested obsessively around 14-18 dpo (because I was spotting) and the lines got significantly lighter for some of those. My blood work later came back showing that my levels were rising normally though. I hope you get the same experience!
When I had this fear I used those digital tests that told you how far along you are. The fact that those changed really relaxed me. Good luck. Lines are subjective and all test batches are different. Don't let yourself get to negative.

I had a lighter line at 14dpo than 13dpo even though the first test was taken after breakfast and the next with FMU. They were the same box too! My betas were solid and (more than) doubled perfectly. I didn't buy anymore after that because I had to stop the madness.
I did this too, I totally get it, my pee just was more diluted on the lighter tests it seems because after both my successful transfers I had darker and lighter FRERs but great betas.
You did? Did they look like this?
I just hope today I get a dark test line, it would make me feel so much better
Yup, they did, I hope you get a dark one today to put your mind a bit more at ease but to be honest, even when I got another dark one I still focused on the lighter ones. IF is a mindfuk.

Overall I am not sure I am a fan of these tests, but I was going to suggest this. All the tests posted say pregnant. You really can not use them to judge how pregnant you are. If you are going to compare one to another you should use a test that tries to tell you how pregnant you are.
