Question

Lighter lines on subsequent tests?

I had a distinct, though light, positive test on Saturday (yay!) which was expected to be the first day of my period. I bought a few more tests today just for peace of mind, but when I took one this afternoon (2.5 days later) the line was much lighter, like, hardly visible. I'm 16 dpo, 2 days after my missed period. I just feel like my lines shouldn't be such squinters, and shouldn't be getting lighter. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have, last month. It was a chemical. Hcg wasn't rising (doubling) as it should. I answered for anyone in the same boat, though I see you posted this question a week ago, so it's very likely you have confirmation either way by now. xo
