Currently around 8/9 weeks pregnant - test are getting lighter with each test I do? No belly pains no bleeding? Heartburn and sickness have started?

Not much of a clue because i usually stop testing after the first couple of days (so bumping for you). Is there a reason you’re still testing? Maybe call your GP for a blood test?

Mine started getting lighter at week 8. Called the hook effect. Dilute your urine with some water and it'll come out dark again.

I panicked but I'm 22 weeks now xx

Sounds like the hook effect.

Stop testing!

No point testing after 6 weeks.
Positive tests are not an indicator of viability if that's what you're hoping for.
