Pregnancy test

[Kirsty662]

Hey, so I'm meant to be about 6 weeks pregnant, how comes my tests are really faint still? Could everything be OK?

Congratulations first off on your positive!

I got caught up in this type of thing during my pregnancy. The best thing is to stop testing (but I didn't even follow my own advice so I know it is hard!!) The test line will be darker or fainter depending on the amount of HCG levels. Try to take tests at the same point in the day and also try not chug a load of water to make you go as it'll dilute everything. The levels should double every couple of days so maybe give yourself a day's rest in between your tests and hopefully you'll notice a difference which will give you peace of mind.

There are private scans etc you can do a bit further on (probably 8 weeks onwards) if you need further reassurance 💐
