I took a pregnancy test and the line indicating pregnancy is darker than the test line.?

Does this mean that I have large amounts of HCG in my system. I think I am about 5 weeks pregnant, but last month's period, which was very light may have been implantation bleeding. Do the lines on pregnancy tests, get darker the more HCG there is in your system?

    it does get darker with more hormones to an extent, after the levels get higher you can't go with the getting darker thing, the test has limitations. 5 weeks would give a pretty dark line.

    you won't know how far along you are until you have an Ultrasound, be sure to mention to your OB about your light spotting and no real period last cycle so that they'll do an ultrasound early so you know when you are really due. Also you could ask for a quantitive HCG, you could then compare your levels with others online and be able to figure out if you concieved this month or last, or again, I had high hcg once and ended up having twins! Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

    HCG doubles every 24 hours untill about week 12 when the placenta takes over sustaining the fetus. So your answer is yes.....the test is picking up a high level of the hormone, also keep in mind though that the longer the test sits the darker the line gets too

    I had the same thing happen when I took a test earlier this week, I am also probably about 5 weeks along, I have an ultrasound scheduled for April 11th. My pregnant line was already dark before the test line had even shown up! This is my 5th pregnancy and the first time I have had that happen. Good luck!

    Congrats!!! each and every person attempt has diverse ranges of the dye. that is even real for an identical type. additionally evaluate you're maximum in all risk ingesting greater water now and that would additionally make the lines greater faint. asserting this and understanding this i comprehend the type you sense lol. I had an extremely early miscarriage lower back in August and then took a month off TTC. have been given my BFP on monday and as of Saturday i'm going to be 6 weeks! whether my breasts are no longer soft in any respect and so i began doubting the two effective tests. Took yet another one the former day and lower back it went effective in some seconds! the line gave the impression to be somewhat much less darkish. the 1st 2 have been as darkish through fact the administration line and it replaced into no longer in spite of FMU! in spite of my final being pregnant I had quite sore breasts so this time around i'm somewhat nervous. It does no good to be afflicted so call your OB/gyn with any concernes (wore that huge sort out whilst i replaced into pregnant with my daughter lol) and take care of your self. in case you start to sense rigidity or rigidity do your superb to take your recommendations off of it and do so guffawing. guffawing has been shown to help shrink rigidity:) i'm effective which you have a being pregnant instruction manual so which you comprehend the warning indications. If the sensation that something is incorrect will become overwhelming that's no longer healthful for you or toddler so which you would be able to attempt and get the rfile to schedule a attempt pronounced as a Quantitative serum attempt. A blood attempt they do to envision your hCG point. hCG doubles daily to another day so as long because it is going on all is unquestionably. they'll maximum in all risk do a vaginal test to your first prenatal bypass to besides and that provide you with lots piece of recommendations. there are lots of of little aches and pulls even in the very initiating of being pregnant so no concerns:) better of luck and reward

    In my experience, it doesn't matter what color the lines are as long as they are visible (without squinting or tilting the test). It is possible you may have a high HCG level, but it could just mean that little test wants you to KNOW that you're pregnant.

    When you see your OB/GYN, explain your situation and give both possible conception dates (or period dates, of you prefer). When you get your ultrasound, they will be able to estimate the age from the baby's size. The date it's closer to is probably the real one.
