Davies - Dont do pg tests there evil... perhaps it could be the test, i have read before that it depends on how much dye they have put in that batch. Personally I would go to your scan 2moz as either way your going to be worrying yourself 
p.s POAS website is good -
9. I took another test and the line is lighter. Does this mean anything? Should it get darker? Not necessarily. In general, the positive line will be darker when a greater amount of hCG is present in the urine, but not always. Some tests contain more or less dye (meaning there is just more or less color to "stick" to your hCG.) Some tests are more or less sensitive-- even 2 tests in the same box can be different. Also, your urine may have more or less hCG in it depending on what you ate or drank, or how long it's been since you last peed. Food itself does not cause false results, but can affect how much urine you have and how dilute it is. Eating salty chips and drinking caffeine all day will result in more concentrated pee, whereas gorging on watermelon and ginger ale will result in lots of very dilute pee. But an HPT is not meant to tell you "how" pregnant you are. It only tells you if you are pregnant or not. As long as there is a line in the results window, you are pregnant.
Some women experiencing early miscarriages do notice their lines getting fainter or disappearing entirely, but even if your line gets fainter, it is not a guarantee that you are miscarrying, or that anything is wrong. See FAQ 21 for normal levels of hCG and how to properly measure it.
It is very very VERY important to remember that HPT's cannot tell you "how" pregnant you are, or how much hCG is in your urine. They are simply a yes/no diagnostic tool. While you may see a darker line on a pregnancy test at 18 DPO than you did at 10 DPO, there are far too many variables for you to deduce anything concrete from the darkness of the lines. Test sensitivity can vary; there may be more or less dye or chemical reagent in different tests; your urine may be more or less concentrated depending on what you ate or drank or when you last peed; the tests may have been stored differently; you may have used more or less urine on one test than another.

) please stop testing! It really doesn't show anything at all except yes you are pregnant, no you are not.
I could eat that too. I could eat anything in fact, I am just a food junkie at the moment. I am going on very long walks and calorie counting though otherwise, row of houses, size of! The pillow sounds like a great idea, hope it helps you, bet you
I am over the lack of cramps saga now! Not even thinking about it! 
it's ok, the problem is, and this is way overly paranoid - i just take one/day but after I put it in my mouth, i flip it on my tongue to make sure it's only 1 pill i put in my mouth - so crazy!
