These tests in the photo are all from today. The lighter test lines are from the morning then the darker ones are now. Why are they so faint on some? I am worrying!! Has someone had this before?

Different tests, some more sensitive than others plus your urine will be more or less diluted at different times.
This is why doing multiple tests on the same day is totally pointless.

Congratulations

Stop testing now. You are pregnant. It’s a long way to go so don’t let your anxiety run with you this early. Everything is now out of your control and you do unfortunately just have to accept that.

It’s hard not to worry, had a miscarriage before.
Especially when these were my tests 3-4 days ago!

No need to keep testing beyond 1 or maybe 2

I know it's so hard when you've experienced loss but what will repeat testing actually do apart from cause you more anxiety?
It can't stop something bad from happening and it can't somehow make your pregnancy viable.
Honestly, it is just causing you extra worry.

You can't quantify hCG in urine. There are so many variables that determine how the urine is concentrated.

If you are 7 weeks and you can't get a dark line with morning urine, sure. There might be a problem. But this type of testing doesn't tell you anything.

Understand the worry but you have no symptoms of miscarriage all the tests are positive. You’ll ruin the pregnancy if you continue. 5 tests in one day is extreme
