Hi, iv been fretting about m/c since i found out i am pg, cos i had one last march. I have been testing at least once a week (expensive hobby, i know, lol) but this morning when i tested, my positive line was quite abit fainter that normal, and it worked correctly and i use the same brand. should i be concerned? I dont have any pain, but please, i could use some advice. thank you in advance!! :o)

As you get further into your pregnancy the hcg levels decrease. Cant remember when they peak but I think it is around 10 weeks? So after this the test may not be as strong. Also the line could be fainter if your urine was more dilute than when you previously tested. I know its easier said, but really try not to worry, I did so much with my second I spent the whole first half of the pregnancy waiting for something to happen, but he is fine! I wish I had enjoyed it more!
