So i posted on Tuesday with a faint BFP following a chemical pregnancy last month.

No idea how many dpo I am as cycle is messed up after that.

I've tested again this morning and the line is no darker. Should it be by now? I don't really feel pregnant either.

Just getting myself worried that it's going to happen again!

I would say today's does look a little darker! I can take up to 36 hours for it to double so may be that your levels are still low but totally fine. If your stressing though, try get a doctors appointment and get a blood test to check your levels are increasing. I'm sure they will take you in if you explain the chemical (so sorry Flowers) and that you're worried about the stress etc x

No not day from day. Try again in a week. And to be honest. Your levels are not guaranteed to double the line darkness. Please try to relax, this can be a big factor. X

Thanks for or your replies girls, I haven't even told my husband yet as don't want to get his hopes up like last time!

I've phoned the early pregnancy unit and they said they will take some bloods on Tuesday to see what's going on. Seems forever until then though so I need to find things to distract myself from the anxiety

Honestly, try not to worry about the darkness of lines. It's easier said than done (I got my BFP last week and still tested this morning) but there is no exact science to how dark the lines will be. Sometimes if you have a large quantity of urine then the HCG is diluted so the line won't be stronger than the day before. HCG doubles at different rates for different people too so doing a test every day isn't very useful if your HCG only doubles every 36-48 hours.
