Slow hcg rise?

[Mrsmujic]

Hi, I'm worried I've got low levels of hcg? I got a positive 1-2 week on Digi on Tuesday, I took another cheapy today today which was still only faint? I'm about 5 days late for af now and think I'm either 4 or 5 weeks pg? (No idea how I work this out as every app says differently?! My last af start was 21/2 LH peak on 13/3) I did 3 frer which seemed to gradually get darker?

Has anyone had the same?

If your first day of last period was 21st Feb, you'd be 5 weeks 4 days.

As long as you've hot a positive test, I'd stop testing. Lots of things can affect the tests.
Darkness of the line is not reliable

Thanks @SnooperTrooper12345 it's just confusing as my cycles are usually fairly long at 32-35 days so I dont know if that effects it? It's so hard to not compare yourself with others when it feels like I should be progressing more than I feel I am? On NHS website based on 21/2 and 35 days it says I'm 4 weeks?

You probably will be less if you have long cycles however the midwife ect will all go based on an average 28 day cycle until you have your 12 week scan. But at least you know when you go for your scan and they put you back in dates, you expect it and know the reason.

I've only ever done 1 test per pregnancy because it's more worry than it's worth.
As I said, so many things affect the darkness of lines. Just drinking 1 more glass of water the day before can affect how diluted your fmu is.
Just going toilet half an hour before you did the night before affects it. So many things.
