Tested in the morning and the second line was clear, but when I checked again in the evening it looked fainter. Got a little tension na. Is this normal ya should I retest?
Listen, stop testing multiple times a day, it's just a waste of money and peace of mind. Morning urine is always the most concentrated. If you got a positive in the morning, you are pregnant, simple as that. Go see your gynac now.
Oh, I remember holding those test strips and crying over the faint lines! Evening urine has less concentration of the pregnancy hormone, hCG. It's completely normal, so please don't worry, your feelings are so valid.
According to the pregnancy tracking apps, hCG levels are best detected in your first morning urine [3.1.1]. If you test in the evening, the water you drank throughout the day dilutes the sample, making the line lighter. Don't worry, it's just science!
I totally understand how stressful it is to watch those lines and worry, dear. It happens because we drink a lot of water during the day, which dilutes the urine. Your little miracle is safe, don't let these tests make you anxious.
Actually, I have heard from my elders that testing in the morning is best because evening urine isn't very thick. I am also trying to conceive and hope we both get our clear positive lines very soon.
