Is this a bad line for 4 weeks and 5 days?

[Savanna12]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently about 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

I've just taken a pregnancy test - it is late here, so no FMU.

I know that can make a difference, but shouldn't the test line be at least as strong as the control line at this stage in pregnancy?

I am a bit worried, because I had a chemical between my son and my daughter.

Thanks for any advice xx

That’s a strong line! Congratulations!

Thank you. I guess I am just a bit worried because the test line isn't as strong as the control line and I thought it should be at this stage.

I think I'll test again tomorrow with FMU - maybe that makes a difference

I'd be surprised if that was a negative! Looks positive.

It looks fine to me, too!

If you're worried it could be the hook effect which is essentially where the levels of HCG are too high and they overwhelm the test. Try collecting your urine in a cup and diluting it with water then testing again? X
