Try not to worry unless you’re having pain or bleeding. Cramping is normal. What you’re experiencing is most likely the hook effect. It kicks in after 5w-6w. TLDR there is so much hcg in your body that it overwhelms the test so the test appears lighter. There’s a way to dilute your urine to make sure it’s a hook effect (using 1 part urine, 2 parts water) but honestly it’s best to just put the hpts down and enjoy your pregnancy
here was my water test and here are two pics to show that at 27dpo 5w6d my tests started getting lighter (look at the control line)
