My tests are getting lighter but no bleeding. Do the tests need to be blank before bleeding would start .
My confirmed scan at 7 weeks baby was fine but I feel something went wrong at weekend . Was carrying a heavy box , 20kg too heavy for me ive no muscle and small build and took cramps and back pain now coindentally my tests are lighter

I think tests get lighter around 7 weeks because of the hook effect? Too many hormones for test to be accurate or something.

I had a mc at 12 weeks and my tests were positive for 8 weeks after bleeding had stopped. I don’t think you should jump to the conclusion that you’ve miscarried.

@Rosiiee thanks for responding. I'd done a test once a week until I get my 12 week scan , i know i shoukdnt but had a previous miscarriage at 4 weeks bled straight away tho an my test last week was nice and strong. My hcg aren't particularly high as had them tested twice by fertility clinic so I'm discharged now after 7 week scan and on my own and don't really know what to do.

Could you go for a private scan? I booked a private scan every 2 weeks once I was discharged by my FS.

@Rosiiee ive booked a private test for Saturday but feel like im going to mad waiting until then

Hello, can I ask for any update on this please if you’re comfortable sharing?

I am nearly 8 weeks and my tests have started getting a lot lighter, had a scan with no issues at week 6.

thank you
