Ladies, can you help me please ... i am 4+5 today and i must admit i am crazy and have been testing every day . My lines on first response are dark but once they got there they are not getting any darker ? I know they should because my test line is meant to be darker and control line . My cheap test have visible lines but also not very dark .
Can this mean ectopic ?
Or if anybody had a miscarrige would you mind sharing how long did it take for Hcg to start dropping ?

No progression ectopic ?

Not everyone gets the test line darker than the control line! I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and never got a positive as strong as yours! I last tested at 5 weeks.

I would say you can't judge a pregnancy on a pregnancy test and you are better to speak to EPU if you have any concerns? Or ask your gp to take bloods to check hcg levels and repeat bloods in 48 hours as that can really help to see if the pregnancy is growing the way it should be. For now I will say congratulations as those are very strong positives! Good luck x

Those are all strong positives. I think you should stop testing, you’ll drive yourself crazy

Those tests look fine to me. When I had my ectopic my line was extremely faint and stayed that way I never got a dark positive at all. However if you have any one sided pain then ring epu to scan and check bloods but in the meantime I'd say congratulations.

Honestly they look completely fine to me and I've peed on many a stick over the years!

With this current pregnancy I used the exact same brand and my positive line was also extremely dark too. It did make me think hmmm also. It came up like that and wasn't like any previous lines.

Obviously if you have any signs of an ectopic then get medical attention immediately but I would stop with the testing as you will drive yourself demented doing it. I have also been there with the testing lots and drove myself loopy!

Congratulations by the way!

The last 2 look darker than the first one and even that isn't faint. Here's another one that's going to say stop testing. I learnt that even having strong positives it doesn't always guarantee a Baby at the end of it

I had some lighter days and some darker days. I wouldn't say all this testing is brilliant for your mental health though.

I’m sorry I know this is old, but do you mind sharing your outcome? I feel like my tests are similar.
