Faint positive after digital?

Took a digital on Friday which said 1-2 weeks, at which point I was 15dpo.

Done a cheapy this afternoon and the second line took a while to show and it was quite faint. Should I be worried?

I did spot lightly on Monday for about 2 days, but nothing since.

You've had two positive tests. Stop testing. He reason your having doubts now is because you took the second test.

Time is the only thing that will tell you to worry or not.

Tests only tell you if you're pregnant or not. No tests will be able to tell you if it's viable. Please, for your own sanity, put them away.

Depends what time you took the digital. It you did digital with 1st morning urin then the other in the afternoon that would explain a more faint line as it's weaker after 1st morning. I wouldn't worry about it atm, maybe do a test in a few days 1st thing in the morning as it will give you a better result. I know where you're coming from with multiple tests, many of us do the same.
They can be reassuring but at the same time I've had mc's and taken weeks to return to negative tests so they are not an indicator of a successful pregnancy. Get yourself referred to your local midwife team (ours is online self referral) and keep everything crossed for a sticky bean. Congrats and good luck.

@physicskate I know I know, after a miscarriage and then an ectopic I just can't help it 😩.

@Chelyanne thank you, I actually took the digital in the afternoon aswell as that's when I could get to the shop. I'm going to try not to keep testing as I know only time will tell, just hard not to. Especially in lockdown! Xx

Just thought I would update this thread as I always find it annoying when find threads with no end results!
Sadly this did turn out to be a chemical pregnancy, I continued to take tests every other day as advised by the EPU and the line was getting fainter and fainter. I then had a big bleed for about 2 days and then the tests were negative.
I've just start the TWW again so fingers crossed 🤞🏼
