Question

Does urine concentration matter when taking a HPT?

I'm not really too sure when my LMP was. Sometime in February, not really sure if it was beginning or middle of the month. But, I do know we had sex 2/21. I started getting faint positives 2 days ago. Just took another test and my urine was almost clear and the line on the test looks fainter than from this morning... I'm just so worried. Had a chemical pregnancy exactly this time last year :(

a lot of women say it matters.. but in my opinion it doesn't. I got a faint positive n jan at about 14dpo I think.. I took multiple tests that day & they were all pretty much the same some were even quite a bit fainter than the first .they were SO faint almost like a shadow.. but more than I had ever seen on a test before & I just felt pregnant. the next day I went 2 planned parenthood & I thought they would do a blood test but nope they just did a urine test.. & I had JUST peed right before going there & had been drinking water. my test there came out still kinda faint but definitely 10x darker than my other tests. so I really don't know. BUT don't go by it looking fainter the same day. it takes a few days for HCG 2 double so it'll take a few days for the lines 2 get darker! im sure you're fine! good luck!
