HCG at 4w3d…

My HCG at 4w3d was only 191. I can’t go again till Monday, when it’ll have been 72 hours. Is 191 too low? I’m honestly terrified; this is my first pregnancy after 9 cycles trying!

Can anyone else see a line?

I took this with my morning wee this morning and a faint line shown up pretty much straight away. I didn’t even have to wait. Can anyone else see it or is it just me? I’m 9dpo and I’m supposed to be due in 6 days. These tests are 6 days earlier ones
