Line Progression Help

[AmyS12]

Hey!

Got my BFP at 11 DPO.
Been testing daily to see if my positive line gets darker, it has been! So I said I would stop testing as is making me go crazy!

But I’ve just done one today and it’s significantly lighter than yesterday’s. I’m about 4 weeks 4 days pregnant and now stressing myself out as to why it’s much lighter than the rest of them?!

Has anyone else experienced this - stop me from going mad please lol xx

Honestly - stop testing. It just adds a level of stress that you don't need. Get a scan as soon as you're able, to put your mind at rest, but until then, there's really nothing you can do.

Stop. Testing.

Stop testing.

HCG doubles every 48 hours so if you are doing repeated testing you should be leaving two days between each test. However, if you’re testing every two days, you should also know that the concentration of your urine will determine how much HCG can be picked up by a test. Therefore, it can vary or get lighter without anything being wrong.

Test again at 5wk and 6 weeks. If you're still getting positives then it's probably progressing and you should try not to worry.
If you get much lighter or negative results at those points then you could be experiencing a chemical pregnancy.
I've experienced far too many chemicals and miscarriages so I stress a lot in early pregnancy too.

Thanks everyone. I will stop testing lol.
Have a dating scan for next week so will try and relax until then lol xx

So I started cramping this morning and now I’m spotting/light bleeding.

Tested twice on two different brands and practically negative. Would this be a chemical pregnancy?

If so what do I do to confirm this or do I just assume if I continue to bleed like a period then it is one? I literally am sobbing I have no idea what I’m supposed to do x

You sound like you’re in a bit of a mess OP. Call your GP. Could be a chemical, could be implantation. Pregnancy tests give yes or no results: you can’t be more or less pregnant, you either are or aren’t. Did you wait until AF was due to test? Thinking of you.

Hi @AmyS12 I was in your situation yesterday, except I was 6 weeks. I took a test again today and it’s basically negative now so I have had an early miscarriage. It’s so tough after seeing such strong positive tests last week.

I have had chemicals before; so I’m going to see this out at home, but please call your GP or EPU if you need support
Here if you want to talk xx

Yes sounds like a chemical, i'm sorry.

I had one last month, lines got lighter, a day after the negative I started bleeding and went on to have a heavy period.

You don't need to do anything but apparently you are more fertile straight after so try again next month if you can face it x

Thank you ladies for your kind words, love us women can come together at times like this.

Called my doctor who basically said test in a weeks time if negative chemical. I mean it’s negative today so I think it’s clear the outcome to be honest at this point.

Im so sorry for your losses ladies, sending lots baby dust to you all. Hoping to try again next month although right now I can’t even talk about it without getting upset. Im sure it’ll get easier xxx
