Line regression??

I’m roughly 8 weeks pregnant. I’ve had positive tests since 4 weeks. I took one today and the line isn’t as strong as it was last time I tested (around 2 weeks ago). Should I be worried? Am I going to lose my baby???

Depending on the test there comes a point when hcg is so high that it can throw the test off. Also once the placenta is established I believe hcg starts to naturally decrease. That's why someone who is 9 months pregnant might do a test and get a BFN so I wouldn't necessarily worry too much at this point

Stop testing. You're wasting money. It's not reassuring you.

It's called the hook effect.
