Test lines not darkening

Since coming of the implant I've had 30/31 day cycle before falling pregnant I got my first postive 21st when 30 day cycle would be due and a postive 21/23 the lines are so so faint and aren't getting darker does this mean their is a problem ?

hCG doubles every 2-3 days. If you're taking tests daily, you likely won't see change in the intensity of the lines. There are clearly lines on your HPTs. I think you're just not giving yourself enough time between tests to build up more hCG. I'd hold off testing for two days and test again. By then your hCG should be climbing, and in the meantime, it'll keep you sane!
Good luck! Happy and healthy 9 months!!
