Still testing? Lighter lines?

Question

Ok so is anyone crazy like me and still peeing on sticks? I'm 8 weeks but I don't have a scan until 10 weeks. I just felt better watching the tests get darker.  My morning sickness was super mild and now it's totally gone and I just DONT FEEL PREGNANT. So yup I been peeing on sticks still once a week THEN today the fricken thing is LIGHTER so now I'm having a FULL BLOWN PANIC ATTACK!!!  I just read online that this can actually happen after 6-8 weeks because your levels are so much higher but I'm still convinced somethings wrong. Anyone else have this ??

Oh I had the same situation couple days ago, I was 9 weeks and took a test and the test line was much lighter, I got so worried, so then I did a research and I found one post from unknown lady: " The tests are designed to pick up an amount of the preg hormone in quite a low range. I heard that when your hormone levels get really high, further along in your preg, then the tests get "confused". I'm not really sure how to explain it but do a little experiement to set your mind at ease. Get two of the same test. Collect your pee in a cup, dip one test in the pee. Then dilute the pee with quite a lot of water, make it really diluted, like 1 part pee to 5 parts water. Then dip the other test in the diluted pee. The test that was dipped in the diluted pee will come out much darker."  
So I did this trick today and that lady was right, here are my pics, the first one is after 2,5 hours hold and second one is the same urine but mixed with 5 parts of water. U can tell that the lines on the tests on the second picture (urine+ water) looks much darker than control lines, so relax and enjoy your wonderful experience!!

Answer

Mine was lighter at 8 weeks when I randomly tested due to bleed. Even though it means nothing. I know this as my miscarriage still showed light lines for 4 weeks after d and c. My baby is fine and your right it's due to the high level. I really would not test. It won't tell you anything at this stage. Enjoy your scan when you get it.
