Pregnancy tests becoming fainter

I’m not sure how many DPO I would be, but my period was due last Friday (1st Nov) and I tested positive on Tuesday 5th, was a faint-ish but very obviously line, think I’m just over 5 weeks. Since then it’s got slightly darker each day but this mornings one seems slightly lighter. Should I be worried? I’ve had no bleeding

I always found the cheap tests never got hugely dark. I’d stick to using the clear blue maybe if you want to see progression? I used the boots red dye ones too; they were good. My baby was ivf I had bleeding aswell but had a scan at 6+3 and all was good. Maybe get a scan booked for 6.5 weeks to check everything xx

@Rosie Thankyou. Because my cycles have always been irregular so don’t know when I ovulated, I’m worried about booking a scan for what I think is 6.5 weeks (based on Flo) and not finding anything as for all I know I could be a week more or less than that if that makes sense.

I get you. So tricky 😭 Maybe get some of the boots early tests. I found them really good. 😊 and then you can measure the progression. Maybe book one for 8 weeks and then you’ll definitely know 🥰

I would suggest getting a clear blue test , but if your worried contact your doctor and they could send you to the EPU and they would do bloods to check the levels x

@Rosie that was my plan. Thankyou x

What is the point of testing again and again? It is positive, just relax and don't test until there is a good reason to it. :)

Depending on where you are EPU you can often self refer. The one near me you can just turn up at 7am and they’ll see you x
