Does fading lines count at 6+4 weeks?

Question

So I’m having really really bad pains in my tummy but no signs of any bleeding. I took a test today and comparing to the last one and it’s faded?

This is 6+2 
And this is 6+4

Should I chill out or should I be worried? 
I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past year so my brain is on overtime

Answer

Look up the hook effect on home pregnancy tests. Once your HCG reaches a certain level the home pregnancy tests don’t process correctly and the lines will look fainter. This sounds crazy but either use super super diluted urine or dilute your urine with water and they will be dark again. This happened to me at about 6 weeks and I freaked out but my husband found info on the hook effect and I diluted my urine and sure enough it was dark again. I quit testing after that! We are now 9w2d. Good luck!

Answer

Sometimes if the Hcg is to high it can mess up the test if you have no bleeding or anything I would not be worried but also you can just go to the emergency room and see if they will do a ultrasound and make sure your little bean is ok 💙
