TTC. Tested few hours ago. Should i do another test tomorrow? Boots own brand test. Is it reliable?

Why is the T line darker? Read online that the Control line should always be darker. Please help. First time pregnancy and am having a rollercoaster of emotions.

Why is T line darker?

You have a more concentrated HCG load on the test, sometimes known as a dye stealer. Common from week 5+

Think I am only week 4 though. Apart from contacting the hospital what else do i need to do?

Is another test necessary? How reliable are boots own brand tests?

You don't need to do another test. You're pregnant! Congratulations. I doubt you need to contact the hospital. Ring your gp surgery and ask for the contact details.of your community midwife team. They will arrange a booking in appointment with you.

Congratulations! As previously said you're pregnant!

When I was TTC the forum I used at the time said 'a line is a line is a line'. Doesn't matter which line is darker, so long as there are 2 lines.

I have only ever had 2 positive pregnancy tests and I have 2 children.

As WonderingWanda said, contact your GP surgery, tell the receptionist you're pregnant and they'll get you in touch with your local midwife team. You don't need to confirm with your GP or hospital.
