Hi all!

I'm at 16 dpo and tested using Clearblue a few hours ago with a very faint line (first photo). I went out for a few hours and when I came home, I saw the line had become a little darker (second photo). I know that any changes should be disregarded after 10 minutes but does the slightly darker line mean anything? For what it’s worth, my pee has been very light colored so I’m wondering if the darker line is just my pee having evaporated.

The pink/red tests in the second photo are from 14 dpo, 15 dpo, and 16 dpo (morning) respectively but all three tests were expired so even with the faint lines, they weren’t as reliable (I only had time today to get the Clearblue test).

Is the Clearblue test a positive? Not sure if I'm imagining the line and worried about chemical pregnancy since I'm already at 16 dpo. This baby is so wanted and would be my first pregnancy BUT my partner are I are both 41 and I’ve been experiencing some signs of perimenopause the past few years 😔

I have a blood test scheduled for next Thursday so I’m just sitting here anxiously wondering whether to keep testing (and worrying myself silly 🤦‍♀️)!!

Thanks for reading this far and sincere apologies for the rambling. I’d be so grateful for any input and support!
