Positive lines getting fainter rather than stronger

Morning ladies, I had a mc last year so have been worrying since I got my bfp. I did some more tests this morning and the lines are fainter rather than stronger. I’m roughly 1 week late on my period. I called my EPU as wondered if I should get some bloods taken but they are advising I should wait for my reassurance scan in a couple of weeks.
Don’t really know if I am over reacting or if I should ask the doctors for a blood test? Unfortunately I am a natural worrier which won’t help me in these circumstances!

There's really nothing then can be done this early so I would advise you to stop doing tests, it's important to not stress and they aren't helping.
Just try to relax and wait for your scan Flowers

Lots of things can determine whether your tests are dark or not. What time of day you took it, how much you drank the day before, the test itself. There's not a lot you can do right now and you will drive yourselves absolutely potty with the tests! Best thing to do is wait it out. Best of luck Thanks

Thank you both for replying, I will ban myself from further testing! xx

Mine isn’t getting much stronger either, but I know I’m pregnant because 4 tests have said so! I’ve decided not to worry, I’ve had no blood or anything so I think everything must be fine.

It’s hard not to worry though, I’m a natural worrier too :)

Ah it’s horrible all this worry! I’ve done at least 10, that can’t be healthy at all lol. We can do this...no more worrying 😊 xx

I am obsessing too. Had missed miscarriage end of last year and im now 4 wks 4 days pregnant. So far I've taken 12 Tests! I'm completely obsessing over whether the lines are getting darker, which they're not. Miscarriages really take the joy from subsequent pregnancies. X

I know it’s awful, I got myself in such a state this morning. I feel a bit more level headed just now.
Hope you are ok Tracey, step away from those tests 😊 xxx
