Cheapies progressing but not frer???

ho

I knew I shouldn't have kept testing ugggh I cant control myself. My cheapie today is clearly darker than the last 2 days, but the frer today (1pm) looks lighter than yesterday's. I test in the afternoon bc I'm more diluted in the morning. Can someone ease my mind? The cheapies wouldn't be getting darker if things werent progressing, right? I also got a positive on the ic before the frer Friday night, so thinking this is a crap box

Also, I used the same urine for both kinds of tests on each day
