I am abroad currently and was 3 days late when did my first test. Then did second test and todays is a lot lighter and my minds gone into overdrive. I have no bleeding no bad pains other than cronic constipation i get sharp pain thats followed by going to the toliet for 1/2 pebbles and lots of gas then the pain goes. These are very cheap turkish tests but i had a chemical last month and i feel stressed.

I don't think lines strength really means anything. Congratulations and step away from taking more tests!

It does

I would buy another brand test op

Even the lighter one is still fairly strong

It's hard to know without knowing the quality of these tests. And what level of hcg they are measuring. I think you might just need to wait this one out until back home and tests then. Fingers crossed for you

Yes, I would want to test with another brand if you can get your hands on one.
I had a Chemical last cycle too.. you realise after having this type of loss that lines getting faint really does matter @Echobelly

Good luck @abbtighe

I think it is a concern to be honest. Having said that, my friend had an early miscarriage recently and her pregnancy test lines were very dark. I don't think the constipation and gas pains are anything to worry about. Maybe you could arrange a private reassurance scan for when you would be around 8 weeks? In the meantime you could retest on a more reliable brand such as First Response and see if they give you better results.
