Question

Hpt lines not hetting darker. Anyone go on to have a normal pregnancy?

I had a faint positive line ( faint but with color) the very next day after I had cramping and implantation spotting (brown flecks). I thought it was insanely early to test positive especially since I wasn't sure when I ovulated. Now its been six days since that first positive and the lines have either stayed the same or gotten lighter only to get darker again. All of them are however in the very faint spectrum. Ive had a chemical pregnancy before but I never had a linr get darker after they had gotten lighter before. Could it be that Implantation is not complete and that I ovulated late therefore I still havent technically even missed my period? Or is it the case that once you get a positive it should always get stronger regardless of whether you are testing before your missed period?

I had pretty much the same thing happen last month. Had faint positives get a bit darker, only to get lighter. Ended in a chemical 4 days late for my period. I just knew it wasn't going to stick. With my first child my tests got darker quickly, this one barely at all. Hopefully this is not the case for you. Good luck.
