Can you share a pic?

I think it’s called a dye stealer - a dye stealer is when the HCG hormone from the baby is so high, the test line steals the dye from the control line and is v dark. Congratulations OP!

So confusing 🙈 I'm around the 7 week mark but due to a miscarriage 3 month ago iv been testing every other day!

It’s a good sign it means your test line is so strong it’s stealing due from the control line!

I think a dark test line is to be expected now that you’re 7 weeks into the pregnancy. Looks like a brilliant result! 🥳

I'm glad that's the case! Thanks for the reassurance! Xx
