Pregnant?

LunaGuest ·
Hi ladies, these are my tests but the line doesn't seem to get darker, although I think it's clear. I've already missed 2 periods, so I'm about 8 weeks pregnant and haven't lost any blood, so everything seems to be going well. Is it weird that the lines aren't getting darker, or is that normal?

    You've used different tests to get a clear line; you should use the same test each time. I think you'll see a clearer line around 4-5 weeks of pregnancy, but don't worry because these tests are clearly positive. Congratulations

    A follow-up isn't mandatory. You're just really pregnant!!!

    And sometimes you just don't get a strong positive, and that's totally fine. Tests only tell you that you're pregnant, not what comes next. Around week 6 or 7, your hCG levels also stabilize because your body gets used to the hCG. Tests can sometimes show lighter lines then. You're pregnant, that's clearly confirmed. It's still exciting in the coming weeks.

    Thanks, girls, for the replies and for being so sweet! Tomorrow I have an appointment with the obstetrician and then an ultrasound. I'll be 8 weeks and 3 days if all goes well. Hopefully everything looks good??

    That's exciting! You must already see a little heartbeat and a tiny embryo. Good luck tomorrow!
