Worried, lighter HPT's and U/s showing nothing.

Okay.....so I had a few HPT's waiting for me to use them...LOL and since my U/S isn't scheduled until 7/14 I decided I'd POAS to see that BFP again

Well, the lines were very very light. As light as the day that my BETA was 32 (yes I kept all my HPTs). They did get darker before my BETA, and now they are getting lighter.

I panicked and called in my SIL, a sonographer. She did a scan on me and only saw a small black line, no sac or fetal pole yet I'm 5w, 4d (3d on U/S day), so I know that it's normal not to see much this early.....but I had a chemical last year so I'm really worried.

My doctor only did 2 BETA's, but I also have 2 local BETA's....again I'm a bit crazy since the chemical last year.

So my BETA's went like this:
Local went from 32 to 104 in 48 hours
RE's went from 54 to 254 in 96 hours.

So both were doubling....and I plan on calling to see if I can get one locally on Monday, but until then....did any of you see your HPT's get lighter after positive BETAs and darker test?

I'm using FRER, so I would think the dye in them is pretty consistent. I am still feeling crampy too, but then I've been cramping since ER so that's not a symptom I can rely on.

My evening nausea has kind of subsided too....ugghhh, I hate all these mixed signals.

So any experience with lighter HPT's and still going on to a positive pregnancy? And anyone not see anything at 5w3d on an U/S?
