Fading Lines? Chemical pregnancy?

Hi all! I got my first ever positive on Thursday August 31st!! Accompanied with sore breasts, light cramping and fatigue. I can be a bit of a worry wart though and I took 2 more tests, one on September 1st and one on the 2nd. The lines were lighter on these tests (they were also cheaper tests and blue, the first one was pink). I’ve also noticed that while my breasts are still sore and tender, they aren’t as much as they were. I am worried about a potential chemical pregnancy. I haven’t had any bleeding so that is comforting I suppose. I have very irregular cycles so not totally sure how far along I am but I use Flo to track and it estimated me about 8 weeks, but I don’t think I’m that far. Does anyone have experience with this? My first drs appointment is on Tuesday so I just have to get through 2 more days but I am very anxious about it.

    The brightness of a test line means nothing. Just as you said, they were blue.  Blue tests are not as great.  Pink are better.  A line is a line. Stop worrying unless you start having bad cramping and/or bleeding.

    I would say the darkness of lines aren’t a great tool for measuring success as they can be lighter if your urine is more diluted. I would have your hcg levels tracked via blood quantitative test if you’re worried so that you can have peace of mind.

    I’m in the same boat. What ended up happening for you?
