Question

HPTs getting lighter

Hello!

I got my first positive hpt over a week ago and since I’m obsessed with testing I’ve been testing everyday with the internet cheapies. About 3 days ago I got a really nice, dark positive! Then after that Ive has very light pink spotting then brown spotting at least once a day. I thought that was the start of a miscarriage but nothing has happened yet. No increased bleeding or cramps.

Today I took a FRER and it was significantly lighter then that last one I took. My hcg levels might be getting lower.

Is this a sign of an impending miscarriage? I’ll be calling my doctor tomorrow since today is the weekend. I could just use some real talk.
Thank you!

Hi. It could be, try not to be so focused on what your tests look like (I know its hard,been there many times), the one from three days ago looks good for 14dpo, maybe today's urine was more diluted. There could be many factors behind it. Bleeding around the time of your period is completely normal in pregnancy. Try and not stress until you get seen by your doctor. Good luck and I hope all will be okay.x
