Looks like the line is getting stronger to me

Brenna24 · 01/09/2018 17:09

It looks quite normal to me.

Rhibee85 · 01/09/2018 17:11

Really? All other pics I see the lines are really really dark by 15dpo on a frer?

Everyone is different though. They say the hgc doubles every 48 hours and the line does look much stronger on 14 than 12! You never know 100% when implantation took place either even if you know the date you ovulated.

Rhibee85 · 01/09/2018 17:57

Anyone else have any thoughts?x

My first test I took at 17dpo and it looked like your 12 dpo one.

I think so long as it's getting darker it shouldn't matter and even then I think it stops anyway - a line is a line and all that.

A line is a line. Not everyone’s hormones are as strong as each other. Congratulations!

TreasureInMyTummy · 01/09/2018 19:13

Not at the moment when I had chemical my line went fainter and disappeared. X

user122 · 01/09/2018 19:48

A line is a line - try to stop worrying and enjoy the excitement of pregnancy! Congratulations x

Rhibee85 · 01/09/2018 20:06

Thanks. It is just hard as this has happened to me 3 times before 😣

When I got pregnant after my chemical I worried and someone told me tell myself that today I am pregnant and take each day as it comes. Tough advice, it helps a little but I still worried.

Wishing you well xxx

It was indeed another chemical in the end. That’s 4 I’ve had now 😥

I am sorry. I was treated for recurrent miscarriage, most of mine were early like yours. In the end I had to go private to get answers as none of the NHS tests showed a problem and it turned out to be a combination of high NK cells in my endometrium and not responding well to hormones, which meant I wasn't supporting the pregnancies well. I was treated using HCG injections at days 3, 5 and 7 after ovulation, then prednisolone from BFP to 14 weeks and progesterone from BFP until 24 weeks. That worked although our daughter was born at 35 weeks after a spontaneous labour, so I maybe could have done with the progesterone until 37 weeks. I have concluded that I am rubbish at being pregnant.

So sorry to hear that @Rhibee85

I hope the others poster's experience may help you.

Be kind to yourself and find that person to have a good cry to xxxx

Rhibee85 · 03/09/2018 10:23

Thank you for your story... I hope that I can get some answers. I saw the doctor this morning and also had blood taken. She has referred me to a specialist as well. I’m glad that tests are being done but feel like this could be a long road ahead! I’m not sure whether to continue to try next month or wait to hear what specialists says. I’m not sure I can go through getting pregnant and losing it a 4th month running!!

So sorry to hear. I had my first chemical last week and I still don't quite know how to feel about it. For two days I was making plans and feeling so happy, then it just went. I think I might stop testing so early and just see what happens next time (if there is a next time - fingers crossed). Hope you are feeling okay soon x

russiandwarf · 03/09/2018 12:09

I’m sorry to hear that, I am also going through a chemical pregnancy. It’s been a week of mental torture so I feel your pain. This was my 3rd loss, no successful pregnancies yet. It’s so frustrating and heartbreaking isn’t it 😔 I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone. I really hope you have success in the near future xx

Unicornandbows · 03/09/2018 13:02

I took a clear blue test that just tells you whether you are pregnant or not pregnant I found the line tests to difficult to figure out

Rhibee85 · 03/09/2018 14:59

Thanks all - sorry some of you are also going through the same. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Unfortunately with all my chemicals I have also seen the words pregnant on a digital. Not sure how I will ever trust seeing that again!

Rhibee85 you don't trust it until your baby is in your arms. It is a long pregnancy when you do get there.
