Randomly took a test at 9 weeks

This seems super light right? Or do these tests just max out at a certain HCG level? My last HCG test was about 3 weeks ago and it was at 46,706. Should I be worried? I used my first pee of the morning (although I did wake up at 3am to pee too).

Totally normal!! I had to force myself to stop testing because I was making myself crazy. Apparently hcg levels start to drop between 8-10 weeks and level off for the remainder of the pregnancy. So don’t worry! 😊

This is called the good effect. It's totally normal!!

I did this too! It’s the hook effect. If you dilute your pee with water it should get darker!

I hate those tests. They only require 25 miu/ml of hCG for a positive, My HCG levels last time they were checked were at 14,000 and those stupid tests were still faint. Stop testing! You’re going to drive yourself nuts.

Also, your hCG peaks around this time and then it goes down some. Pregnancy tests are positive or negative and shouldn’t be used for anything else

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
