Did anyone’s tests get lighter after the first and kept the pregnancy?

Question

I got an obvious positive at 12dpo with evening urine. 14dpo I took another test with 2nd urine of morning and it was way lighter but there was still a line. Then took another test just a bit ago (still 14 dpo) with evening urine and the line is barely there at all. I’m so scared 😭
Update- I tested this morning with fmu and it was completely negative ☹️ I will call dr on Monday

Answer

Line progression or regression is not always indicative of a viable/non viable pregnancy. If you are worried I'd call your OB Monday and ask for a blood draw.

Answer

Only test with the first urine of the day. It’s so diluted by the evening and that can cause it to be significantly lighter.

Answer

Line darkness and progression mean nothing.

Answer

Yes! I got a POSITIVE test, like VERY DARK! At 12 dpo. Then every single test after that even a week later it was lighter than the first. I’m now 18 weeks with a little girl! Everything shows she’s healthy. 
Also, I read that the test line can become lighter as your HCG rises because it’s just to detect pregnancy, not the quantity of how pregnant you are. I will add that my first blood draw was two days after my big positive and it was at a 92 and two days later it was at 300. So I’m not sure how high your HCG has to be for the test to react by not being as dark as the one prior, I’ve also seen where women have mixed their urine with a little bit of water and then used that to put on the test and the test line becomes super dark by diluting it since the HCG is high. Try that too! I didn’t but I had a close friend that did.
