Do you think my test is getting lighter? 5w6d

I know I need to stop testing but after multiple miscarriages I'm so so worried.

Top test was about 7pm on NYE, bottom feat today at 1pm.

I don't use FMU as my results are always stronger afternoon/evening.

Thank you x

To me the bottom test is clearly darker so if, as you say in your op, that is the more recent test I don't think you need to worry about test getting lighter.

Bottom test is darker

ec1993 · 02/01/2020 13:26

Thank you girls @BentBastard and @Wonkydonkey44 I feel like it's lighter though, definitely in person. Trying not to worry xx

Bottom test is darker are they the wrong way round?

ec1993 · 02/01/2020 13:27

@MyDcAreMarvel no definitely the right way, the bottom isn't dried yet xx

Bottom is still definitely darker

The bottom is definitely still darker, nothing to worry about!

MyDcAreMarvel · 02/01/2020 15:51

That’s great that the not wrong way round. Line definitely progressing .

Stop testing! HCG eventually stops doubling and you'll be causing yourself undue worry. The darkness of a test isn't an indicator all is well/not well. Good luck with your pregnancy Thanks

Stop testing. You are not easing your worries you are just making them worse. It will be a very very long nine months if you don’t stop this now.

Thank you everyone. I've done a CB digital and it's dropped from 3+ to 2-3 since last week so I think I know what's happening xx

Don't forget as well depends on ur urine for digital tests I was worried with them as had 1-2 weeks for over a week but wasn't using first morning urine as soon as I did it jumped to 3+

ec1993 · 02/01/2020 19:04

Thank you @nicciw87 I've already had 3+ last week though 🥺

So too one I did earlier with urine, bottom one I did half urine and half water in the sample and it’s the same strength ish. Do you think I’m experiencing the hook effect? Xx

Seriously stop testing. I drove myself mad test long and testing and testing. I never got a line stronger than your second line (that pregnancy is now a very noisy 6 year old).

Congratulations and put down the pee sticks Grin

nicciw87 · 02/01/2020 19:18

Definitely could be the start of the hook effect at 6 weeks I had my darkest tests and they never got darker so put them away. Have you looked into booking a private scan for a bit of reassurance?
