Blood test booked for dis wed. compared to last 4 hpts today's hpt was lighter than the others. could this mean my hcg levels r going down? help!

Not necessarily: One positive hpt is enough unless you have symptoms suggesting loss of pregnancy. You will get blood test and that is more sensitive. From what you have stated there is no cause for concern.
