8 weeks and test lines are getting lighter

I am 2 days away from my 8 week dating ultrasound and barely have any symptoms. Took a pregnancy test first thing the morning, the light was really faint - I have heard of the hook effect so I diluted my urine sample and tested again and the line was a lot darker. Is this good news?

    PG tests are Qualitative, not Quantitative.  A line is a line and a missed period is a symptom.  If you are concerned, you could call your doctor.

    Sound like the hook effect! I would stop testing now that you’re 8 weeks…it only causes anxiety. You’re pregnant, mama
