Hi

I am over thing this I know but since Tuesday I have been getting 1-2 on cb digitals. The fr line is hardly there - you have to squint to see anything. How is this as I thought fr were more sensitive? Also when I took a cb digi yesterday it came up pregnant then a short wait for the 1-2. I thought maybe it was thinking about whether it was almost 2-3? This mornings came up pregnant 1-2 all at the same time...

I have a blood test on Tuesday. Am I worrying over nothing?. Thanks xxx

A line is a line or a digital read out is a digital readout :), even if a line is really faint it all means the same thing!

The FR test could just have slightly less dye than normal.

You're completely over thinking it :D I was the same I did three tests and then one at the doctors before it all really sank in.

Congratulations!!!!

Plus the digital conception indicators are a bit notorious for being inaccurate with certain people and never click over to 2-3 weeks, so don't rely on that just read the pregnant bit!

Thanks for that very reassuring. I have a long cycle and didn't ov till cd 21 either so am 15 dpo. The bloods I had taken last Thursday were quite low hcg levels apparently although I didn't get told the amount. I will ask next Wednesday when I get the next results. I guess the doc is assuming I would ov at about cd 14...

You're right the doctor probably does assume that, or at least that's what I've found with my doctor.

What they will more likely be looking for is to see a big increase rather than specific levels because again from what I've gathered from MN even HGC levels can vary quite a lot from person to person.

I know it's really hard to relax, especially in the earlier stages. I'm 13 weeks and so far no more relaxed than I was at the beginning.

Is it possible to book yourself in for a private scan when you are around 6 weeks? It's so reassuring seeing the heartbeat - I've had a few private scans now and although they have been expensive they've been worth every penny. After a MMC, MC and then over two years of infertility I still can't believe some days that my baby has stuck in there!

The doc has suggested that when my hcg levels reach 1500 they will scan me. If not I will definitely book a private one.

Thanks for your help and congratulations on your pregnancy.
