I am 6+2 weeks pregnant and took another test on Sunday which was so dark. I stupidly took another one today and it is a lot lighter! I'm now freaking out!!

Did you maybe take it after drinking a lot of fluids? Or not holding pee for too long before testing recently? Maybe try again with fmu to see the result then?

No it was first morning urine. I have read up about the hook effect so I got some other tests. Did one without diluting it and it was faint and one that I added water too and it came out darker!

Ahh that's great. I hope that'll put your mind at rest. I have heard of the hook effect ☺️
