5 weeks pregnant - are the lines too faint?

[Ceebeebee87]

I think I’m driving myself a bit mad here but I am roughly 5 weeks pregnant. It’s a rainbow baby hence the paranoia but I know for my last two pregnancies my lines were much darker at this point and I had a dye stealer. Just looking for some reassurance. ❤️ I’ve heard cheap test strips are sometimes fainter?

Congratulations 💐
Don’t worry about how dark the line is - that can be altered by how much you’ve drank, time of day etc.

As above, don’t focus on the darkness of the line. Too many variables affect them. My lines actually got lighter for a few days and I’m now 28 weeks. I totally understand wanting to keep testing for reassurance, but as you’re finding, they usually bring more stress and anxiety. Much better to say you are pregnant and stop testing.
