Strip tests getting fainter at 8 weeks

[AJMC1995]

Hi all.

I’m currently 8 weeks after a previous chemical pregnancy in October. I had a bit of anxiety this week so decided to test again, and my MomMed strip tests are now showing a lot lighter positives than previously. I have had no spotting or bleeding, and my ClearBlue rapid detection is still showing very dark - dated pictures attached. Should I be concerned? I have my first contact clinic appointment this week but am aware this won’t cover too much so won’t provide any reassurances.

Any similar experiences or suggestions? Thanks!

I didn’t take tests past 4/5 weeks, unfortunately I did have a loss at 11 weeks and took a test and it was faint. But equally it could be fine, and just more diluted etc. could you get a private scan so you know what’s happening?

My tests started getting lighter at 8 weeks with fmu.
I tried again in the afternoon with super diluted urine and it was dark again.
I'm 14 weeks now and everything is fine.
I've had tests stay dark and end in miscarriage so it doesn't really mean much but I appreciate the need to test as I've been the same.

Pregnancy tests aren’t really designed to monitor progress of pregnancies but just if you are pregnant or not

if you’re anxious or concerned then maybe book a private scan
