Changing lines on pregnancy test?!

I wasn't going to ask you ladies, but I figured I should so I can see who else has experienced this.
I was POAS at least twice a week the first few weeks I knew I was pregnant (8 to be exact). I'm now 7w1d. At first, the pregnancy tests (the kind with the two lines) would do the same thing - the line on the right would appear right away (this is the control line I believe) and then slowly, after 1-2 minutes, the line on the left would appear and be about half as dark, but yet, noticeably present.
Last week I took the last two pregnancy tests. Both times, the line of the left got dark pink immediately... and then the control line came in a little lighter.
On the tests, it says one line may be darker than the other. I googled this issue, most women ended up calling First Response and talking to the reps, and almost all responses told me that when the line of the left gets darker, it means your HCG levels are increasing and that the pregnancy line is darker because of that - taking more "ink" I guess from the control line.
This ever happen to anyone?! It made me feel much better, but my first doctors appointment is Monday and the closer I get to it the more nervous I get. I've been feeling great - no spotting, no cramping - just bloating, gas, a little queasy before I get breakfast in. Thank you !!!
