Faint control line?

Question

Hi all! I’m 5 weeks and 2 days (first baby), and I took another test today just to be sure I’m still prego 😂. The “pregnant” line showed up right away, and the control line was very faint. I did several others and they were all the same. Anyone experience this? I’ve heard it can be because the “pregnant” line sucks up all the dye when hormone levels get high, but I find this interesting because I’m not really even feeling nauseous yet and I’m only 5 weeks! 
Thanks!!

Answer

Yes you are right about the lines. You may be one of the lucky ones that don’t get nauseous. But watch out with the pregnancy tests cause when your hormones get so high it will make the test confused and it will freak you out

Answer

I’m 14 weeks 2 days, and I never really struggled with nausea (luckily). Occasionally, I would get nauseous if I waited too long to eat, and occasionally at night (my OBGYN said that was because of my acid reflux and she gave me meds) since I’ve been taking them, I’ve had no issue. Hopefully, you don’t get the dreaded morning sickness, my heart goes out to the girls that have to go through it! Also, my tests did the same thing. Once the hormone is high enough it’ll soak up most of the dye leaving little to stick to the control line. But like others will tell you, eventually the hormone will be so high the test will show negative which can be alarming, but is normal after a certain amount of hormone!

I couldn’t figure out how to comment a picture on my reply to you, so I figured I’d add it here for a visual! Congrats on your pregnancy!
