Yes I know what does it mean, your pregnancy is progressing well! Congratulations 🥳. It is stealing from control line as your HCG is very strong now. Stop testing, you won't get any aqurate results from now on. Google hook effect, this is what is happening now. So happy for you!!! 🤗🥳🤩♥️

Hi Vicky it’s the control line getting lighter (one in the right), not your pregnancy line (one on left). This means your HCG is so strong it’s ‘stealing’ dye from the control kind. Congratulations and good luck 🤗💫 xx

You’re judging the wrong line. The line on the right is the control line which states if it’s working or not. The line on the left is the pregnancy line x

This is what is called a dye stealer which means high hCG levels. The test line steals dye from the control line to make the test line really dark and the control line very light! Congratulations.xx
