Is it normal for my test to not get darker?

Yes it's normal. The HcG levels are more concentrated in the morning. The more water you drink, your urine becomes more diluted which makes the HcG levels in your urine lower. It's normal for the levels to fluctuate throughout the day

Also - hcg tests are qualitative not quantitative. You cannot look at the line darkness as an indication on whether or not your hcg is actually rising. It’s dangerous to correlate the two as MANY tests just do not work that way.

If you are getting hcg quant tests telling you your hcg increased, that’s all that matters. After that tests are just for “fun” and truly won’t tell you any information. They’re just made to tell people they are pregnant or not

You all are right! I had an early miscarriage last month so I’m anxious.
