Tests getting lighter

So I’ve been testing since I found out I’m pregnant and today I’m 7 weeks. I feel my tests are getting lighter… should I be worried. The bottom one I just did now and the one above it was a dye stealer so I’m very worried now. I’ve also had a 3+ on clear blue… should I get another to see if it’s changed

You could be experiencing the hook effect where the hcg is too high for the test. A clear blue weeks indicator will give you a good idea though xx

@Tara I thought testing would make me feel less anxious but it’s done the opposite 😂😭

Tests are qualitative and not quantitative. They can only tell you whether you’re pregnant or not, not ‘how pregnant’ you are. Loads of things can impact your test line as well such as urine dilution - whether or not you use your first urine of the day, the concentration can vary. The only way to check strength of hcg is with blood. Better to stop testing or you could end up just stressing yourself unnecessarily

I’ve had this as well, I’m 7 weeks tomorrow. My boobs have also stopped feeling sore so that’s worried me. We have a reassurance scan today 🤞🏻

I also had this it says online that you shouldn't test past 6 weeks as you tests will get fainter and it might scare you but I can reassure it's part of the process as another form of HCG takes over a lesser dominant version,so chances are your pregnancy is fine ....it's completely normal that you tests might get lighter around 6/7 weeks,some peoples might still get darker whereas some might stay the same for awhile ,in early pregnancy hormones go up and down alot ... pregnancy tests around this time are not as accurate as it used to be when testing after period ,you well over 2+ weeks from missed period ..everybody is different xx
