Dye Stealer (or not quite?) Spotting and looking for some reassurance

Dye Stealer (or not quite?) Spotting and looking for some reassurance

Driving myself a little bit crazy before tomorrow’s follow up blood test (currently 14dpt). I had spotting today and am super paranoid about an ectopic pregnancy (my last transfer resulted in an ectopic). My 10dpt HCG was 302 so tomorrow’s should be somewhere in the 1200s. Driving myself a little nuts with pregnancy tests because the spotting has given me so much anxiety.

I took a test earlier when my urine was still somewhat diluted and the test line was somewhat darker than 3 days ago but still lighter than the control line, took this one a couple hours later with more concentrated urine and I feel like it looks very good but I’m not sure? Obviously I can’t really know until my blood test + further monitoring but I am just looking for any possible reassurance that points to it not being ectopic again

18dpo (13DP5DT), brand easy at home, night before second blood test and freaking out

On the left is a test from 3 days ago, when my HCG was tested at 302. Right side is today. I wasn’t going to test, but then I had some bleeding and became afraid. I have a history of ectopic pregnancy that presented with bleeding at basically this same time. I can see the line has darkened but I’m not sure if it’s as dark as it should be, given my HCG should probably be around 900-1000 right now (if it is not ectopic and doubling properly?)

This is my fifth embryo transfer; I had three failed transfers and then almost died from my ectopic pregnancy last time. This whole process just scares me so much. I wasn’t going to test at all today and was just going to wait until tomorrow’s blood test, but then I started bleeding and panicked. 🙁

HCG was 302 at 10DPT following my fifth embryo transfer. Please let this be the one 🙏

Before this I had three transfers fail to implant, and my fourth transfer turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured and required an emergency salpingectomy 😞. My ectopic pregnancy began with an HCG of 94; the clinic is still cautious about the possibility of another ectopic, and I know there’s still a long way to go from here, but I’m hoping and praying that 302 is a good sign 🙏
