Should I have stopped testing 🙈

Top is 20dpo and bottom is 22dpo. I’m 5 weeks 1 day and took bottom test today . I’m going mad thinking I shouldn’t have took it cause it’s driving me insane looking at it . Should I take another or pretend I didn’t take it and just take it as I’m pregnant 🤞

I'd absolutely say pretend you didn't take the 2nd test, there's without a doubt your HCG level is high! But if it will bother you thinking about it & you want some peace of mind maybe try a digital weeks indicator test in a few days

Yeah I think I’m gonna take a digital toMoro maybe . I’ve a blood test this week to so hopefully all good as have no symptoms it’s worrying at times ha @twodoorsup

Have u posted the pic wrong way round?
The 22dpo is darker if that's the one you say is on the bottom.

Waitwaitwait22 · 15/01/2024 22:07

@Hayl777 nope correct way . My test line is on the left so not sure if ur thinking there back to front ?

I'm confused about what the issue is? The second pic shows a darker line so that's good!

What are you worried about? And what is a dye stealer?

@Waitwaitwait22 this exact thing happened to me this morning (5+5) and I really wished I hadn't tested. I did some googling and that led me to test again with diluted urine (I did half and half with water) and I got my strongest dye stealer yet. Will attach pic xxx

Stop testing! These tests weren't designed to be used for anything except telling you if you are pregnant or not. Even if you have high HCG it doesn't actually mean the pregnancy will be successful or not - I had strong HCG both my pregnancies and had 2 missed miscarriages. Take a deep breath, accept you are pregnant and step away from the tests as you're only torturing yourself x

@moosey89 i know I think I need a good kick up the ass. That’s me done enjoying the moment now x
