About this deal
Understanding when and how often should you have sex during ovulation can greatly increase your chances of pregnancy. You can see how your hCG levels rise in your urine over the course of early pregnancy in the graph below. You can avoid getting faint lines by using a digital test, use the first urine in the morning if testing early, and don’t drink too much liquid before testing.
If you’ve missed a period and received a positive test result, but the next test is lighter, it could be due to any of those things listed above. After six weeks the levels will double about every four days, then levels will start to decrease when nearing the due date. An immediate dark positive result could mean that there's a high concentration of hCG in your urine, and the test is showing an immediate dark result due to the hormone level.With thousands of award-winning articles and community groups, you can track your pregnancy and baby's growth, get answers to your toughest questions, and connect with moms, dads, and expectant parents just like you. If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you should always consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional. All in all, enough symptoms to feel good about things but not too many symptoms to be overly uncomfortable.

And if you are concerned, then ask your doctor for a hCG blood test and repeat the test every other day until ultrasound to make sure your hCG levels are doubling every 48 hours. You are still in VERY early pregnancy tho, so I would not be surprised if it is not as dark as the control.

It is rare, but bleeding in early pregnancy that is heavier and/or accompanied by abdominal pain may indicate an ectopic pregnancy.Sometimes it’s easy to say whether the pregnancy test is positive or not, but sometimes this other line can be very faint.
