Positive tests but....

I have taken about 9 pregnancy strip tests. At first, the line was faint but there a few days before my period was due. However, now that I am 3 days past my expected period date, I am not seeing the line get drastically darker. It's not necessarily lighter- but almost the same for the past 3-4 days. I am worried because my last pregnancy ended in a blighted ovum, I'm an older mum and any baby at this point would be a miracle. Has anyone had their line on their test remain the same strength in darkness over days? In the past with other pregnancies (even including the one we lost), the line got consistently darker day by day. I'm so worried, I want this baby so badly!

Sadly, it looks like this one was a chemical pregnancy. I spotted a very small amount of light brown blood and then it stopped but my tests are very very light positive now- almost negative.

Did your pregnancy work out? I took 3 tests today (using the same urine sample) and they actually came out slightly different but still light as always! So frustrating!!
