Question

Positive is lighter than week before

I got my first BFP 8DPO and the line got darker progressively until time my period was due. I had blood test and doc confirmed positive just after 4 weeks. For some reason, yesterday I decided to test again with a spare test at home, I would be around 5 weeks 1 day and the line is lighter than it was a week ago. It still comes up and I did another this morning but its definitely not as dark as the control. I'm now freaking out this is an early sign of it being mc. I know some say a line is a line but I've seen a lot of tests by 5 weeks be much darker than control, I'm more worried that its lighter than a week back. Any facts on whether FRER do indicate increasing HCG ?

I would go ask for another beta. I've had some FRER that weren't as light as the others so I'll use another and that line pops back up but if you're nervous tell your doctor you want another one. They are about 100 bucks even if insurance won't cover it because he won't order it... tell them you want it regardless.
