Line progression

I’m six weeks +6, and on Monday morning tested and got what I think was a dye stealer line. This morning I tested again (FMU) as I’ve been a bit paranoid about not “feeling” pregnant - I’ve not really had any symptoms so far beyond feeling tired and sore boobs, which have felt less sore this week. The test came back positive but it’s not as strong as Monday. Should I be worried? Am I being paranoid? I’m in the UK and two weeks off my first antenatal appointment. photo is this morning’s test, will put photo to show line progression so far in the comments.

It could be the hook affect lovely

Thanks for replying, is that possible at six weeks? X

You need to stop testing now as what you’ve got here by the looks of it is the hook effect which basically means there’s to much hcg for the test to pick up on so the line will get lighter the more you test or stay the same. Symptoms also come and go during pregnancy which is normal x

Hook effect 100% x

Yeah hook effect. If you wanna test it, dilute your urine slightly and the test will still look strong or even stronger

How are u now xx

I retested the next day, diluting some, and both tests came out really strong. When for a scan at the early pregnancy unit today as I had some brown discharge that was worrying, but scan showed everything is as it should be 💕 thank you everyone for your support and advice x
