Strong positive pregnancy test the other day, now faint

I took a test on Sunday, day after my period was due. Did it in the morning and got a strong positive. Did the same at the same time on Monday just to be sure, strong positive again.

This evening I've taken one (I don't know why the fuck I did and I wish I hadn't) but whilst it's still positive, it's much more faint. All tests from the same multi pack.

Does this mean bad news? My nipples are still super sensitive (the only symptom I've had) but I'm really worried now.

I know none of you can tell me for sure but some anecdotes from others may help!

Stay positive,book appoitment with your doctor and all will be clear.In your case I think is just thatone test littel folty ,all will be fine

It won't be as strong as the others because it isn't the first morning wee so its3more diluted. I wouldn't worry.

Thanks @vilaziba I'm hoping perhaps it's because I did it later in the day so it will be becuase my urine is dilute!

They say test with FMU for that reason, that's when the hormone will be present the most and show up on the test, by the time you've been for a few wees and drank liquids, it's all diluted right down.

I think I'm the stupidest person in the world. I did one this morning with FMU, and the line was still faint. Definitely there, no question, but faint.

I told my DP and was obviously rather upset about it. He decided to have a look and pointed out I was looking at the stupid thing upside down

The faint line was the bloody control line. The dark line was my positive pregnancy test. We had a good laugh and I feel unbelievably relieved, if a little stupid. Let's hope this baby gets his brains!!

Congratulations. That really made me smile.

My test was so faint I had to take it to the window and then shine a light on it before deciding there was definitely a line. Still the faint pink line is now 14 :)
