Hi all. I have a question.... Have cheap internet tests at home and every so often I do one (just cause!) I did one yesterday and the test line was lighter than the control. They had gotten to the stage where the two lines were the same. I did another today and the same thing.
My nausea has really kicked in. Yesterday was awful,I took ginger and wore sea bands today so it wasnt so bad. I have back ache and tiredness too.
You think the test is anything to worry about???
heard my baby's heart beating away yesterday with my doppler - what an amazing thing!!
i hear you on the exhaustion. When I was pg with my first I worked, and I came home and went straight to bed for the entire first trimester. It's harder now because I have two young children running around all day; my youngest only naps once, and my eldest doesn't nap at allI feel you ladies, I work at a computer all day everyday and my goodness I am going to slam my head on the keyboard from falling asleep if I don't get some relief fast - whats worse is it seems like even when I get a TON of sleep, It doesn't matter! Still exhausted. ugh!!

Ready2Bmum, have you heard of the hook effect? It might be what you're describing with the tests. I haven't used a line test in ages, but mine never got as dark as the control lineI wouldn't worry; as long as you're not visibly miscarrying then I think baby's doing just fine
I am exhausted too.hopefully acupuncture will help today!
i had a similar test this morning. The first test was at 19DPO and the second was this morning at 41DPO, both using FMUi hear you on the exhaustion.

So I looked up the hook effect, and decided to test to see if that's whats happening. I diluted my urine a lot, and now my test line is darker again!!! amazing!!! Also reassuring..my hcg levels must be high!
Fantastic ladies. Its obviously just something that happens! Elleff I was thinking the same. I diluted mine so much and got a big dark line again. I conceived on Clomid so I'm wondering twins?!! Lol
Il know at 11.15am tomorrow. First scan....it can't come quick enough!!
