Like me, I know many people are eagerly testing with them after getting their BFP to make sure pregnancy is progressing.
Ot causes unnecessary stress and they’re expensive too!
Today I got the dreaded news that my HCG had gone down from 1200 to 1000 in just over 48 hours, however when I took the weeks indicator test the morning of my latter blood test I got 3+ so after my worrying weekend with spotting and bad stomach pains I was feeling optimistic.
To get 3+ your hcg needs to be at least 2700 so just reassure anyone that even if you do get 3+ it doesn’t mean it’s any more viable than staying at 2-3 weeks (I’ve heard of a lot of woman never getting 3+ that continue to have successful pregnancies).
I just wanted to reassure people not to rely on these as they’re so inaccurate and cause more harm than good. I know some countries have even banned them.
