IC dark this morning then another light

Hi all,

Ever since getting my BFP last week I've been an anxious mess. Testing numerous times a day and all been good.
This morning took ic with FMU and was dark.
Then was out all day, drank lots of coffee (decaff) and water. When I got home at 4 , I took another ic (no idea why besides for peace of mind!) And it was noticeably lighter than this morning.
I'm panicking and in a state. Could it just be BC my wee was too diluted?? I've been getting dye steals on frer.
I have one FRER and IC left.....which I'll do tomorrow morning but any insight would really help and be so appreciated.

Thank you xxx

It's probably just because your urine is much more dilute from all the decaff and water so it's not picking the hormone up as strongly. Try again with FMU, fingers crossed for you x

Step away from testing. It is doing your mental health no good at all. You are causing yourself so much stress and anxiety. Noting good comes of constantly testing over and over.

I know, trust me, I know. I want to stop testing just petrified. Had a miscarriage in April and we have even trying for years. It's so hard to not test and I know it's doing more harm.
Just so scared

Go and see your GP for the level of anxiety and panic you are going through. They will be able to help you I promise you. I know exactly how you feel after 3 losses, 1 being a late loss, but testing will drive you insane and that level of stress is really not good.
