pregnancy test took ages

hi there been taking pregnancy tests since saturday the 8th jan 2011
my tests have been getting alittle darker as im doing them everyday it was very faint on the sat then more on the sunday then don one yesterday bit darker and one just now first wee too and bit darker but my tests always seems to be a tad lighter than the straight across line on a clearblue 4 days before test
i keep thinking something is wrong like eptopic as hormones may not be going up as much
maybe im worrying as ive had a eptopic 4 years ago idont know
i feel sick with worry
i took a clearblue digital tht reads also how many weeks i am well appoxiamlty it said 1-2 weeks
iknow when i ovualted as i use the clearblue fertility monitor believe it or not that was my first month i had seen a high peak on it
that was 27th and 28th of dec
i had what i think was a implantation bleed but not totally sure that was on the friday 7th
anyways any help will do thank you

I agree with Sun. Tests are made to detect only the hormone and not the amount in it. You can have a high hCG level and it could still be a faint line, so don't use a test to judge if a pregnancy is viable. Your doctor will be able to test and see if your levels are rising as they should and an ultrasound in the coming weeks.

The intensity of the line has nothing to do with how pregnant you are. A positive is a positive no matter how light or dark, pregnant is pregnant. If you are concerned something is wrong than you need to see your ob and ask for a beta hcg blood test and then a repeat blood test 48 hours later. If the hcg level doubles during that time it indicates a normal healthy pregnancy. Until then, stop peeing on sticks you might as well be peeing on money ;)
