My tests were really strong at first, and then yea are lighter now. For me it was just my raging hormones calmed down a little bit, I’m definitely pregnant as a scan confirmed and baby is healthy 😊

If you’re worried, ask a doctor to blood test you, they’ll be able to tell that way x

@Sarah There’s no doubt there, I wouldnt stress x Hormones can vary day to day and that’ll impact the result 😊

The higher ur hcg is (which increases every day) and the higher it is the harder it is to detect on an at home test, once you get a dye stealer around 6 weeks of pregnancy don’t worry about ur tests getting lighter xx

There is something called the hook effect where tests get lighter when there's so much Hcg, this is most common around 9-10 weeks so I'd stop testing now

Once you hit 7 weeks HCG tests aren’t really reliable anymore, and can often look lighter. Could you go for a reassurance scan instead? This would be better to reassure you and check everything is ok

Thank you this helped me 😅
