HCG

What’s that? Yeah I had a scan last week and everything was fine , had blood tests etc. the one I took last night was dark .. but this morning was lighter so it’s worried me… is it normal ? Xx

It’s the hook effect lovely ☺️ your levels are so high now the tests can’t read it properly and they get lighter! Some women dilute their wee with water to get the strong lines back but honestly it’s easier to stop testing as it will make you worry when you don’t need to, having a scan with a heartbeat at 9 weeks means your chances of baby are now at 99.5%! 😁

Oh really? Thats really assuring to hear ! Do you think so? Thank you so much Megan

@Megan thank you. It’s more the light test which freaked me out .. I didn’t get a negative but it’s lighter than I thought it should be. I’m staying positive just worried. I’m approaching 12 weeks so hopefully I have my mind assured then cxx

HCG starts to decline as the placenta takes over. So at 10 weeks yours will likely be lowering now. I wouldn't worry and definitely stop testing!
