Does a lighter strip test mean anything after many dark ones?

Hey, I know it can depend on the time of the day? The first urine of the day is more HCG concentrated & later on in the day can be diluted? Maybe try firth thing in the morning again?☺️

@Jennifer thank you I will try in the morning. I did this one mid afternoon, I usually have strong ones anytime in the day tho. This one I rushed a bit so was a bit sad seeing lighter. I’ve a scan in 6days or so, hopefully all is okay x

@Amy Yeah definitely try again first thing if it will help reassure you! I was doing tests every other day until my early scan but I’ve decided to try & not do them now unless I feel really anxious!

@Jennifer that’s exactly what I’ve been doing every other day or so. Usually it’s strong but I’m not sure how many weeks I am yet so need to get more for the morning. My scan I booked private is on Saturday 14th so fingers crossed I see something. I mc in Oct so I’m really hoping this one is the one to be☺️❤️

To find out how many weeks you are, just put the first date of your last period into a conception tracker. It'll tell you. Or count the weeks from the first day of your lmp. Congrats xx

@Annie I miscarried in Oct so I use that as a rough guess I’m about 6weeks +4 something like that. I didn’t have a period in between getting a positive test again but I did test negative from the mc. X

@Annie I tried again this morning and it’s came up light again even though I’ve morning sickness. Will just have to wait till my scan x

I'm so sorry about your mc! Honestly if it's coming up faint, you're defo pregnant. I also struggled to come to terms with believing nine was positive! Scan will be early but should show you a gestational sack and maybe the yolk! Good luck xx

Hey, I noticed my tests were getting a bit lighter around 6 weeks and it really worried me too! I also had a MC earlier this year so completely get the anxiety. I had a bit of brown spotting as well as the fainter tests so had an early scan at the EPU, showed baby there heart beating away 😊 just had another scan and baby is still going strong at nearly ten weeks ❤️ I still don’t know why my tests got lighter and I know it’s super worrying but I hope this gives you some reassurance that all can still be ok. Wishing you the best of luck with everything! Xx

@Ellie thank you so much, I was worried but I’m going to stop taking tests till I get my private scan on Saturday so hopefully all goes good xx

@Amy that sounds like a good plan! I ended up stopping testing too as I felt it was just adding to my anxiety. Hope your scan goes well on Saturday ❤️
