Hi..I have Pcos and very irregular cycles so I don't know when I ovulated. Last cycle was 37 days and previous was 49. I tested on day 38 this cycle because I had pink spotting just once on cycle day 37 (October 7) and thought my period was coming but it stopped immediately. So positive test on October 8th. Since then I've taken 5 tests and though they did initially get darker now they are just staying exactly the same. I've asked for betas but my doctors office won't get back to me. Idk how to add a pic here to shoe my tests but they just really haven't changed :( is this likely a chemical ? If so how long should this last:(

Did they get to a darker colour & stay like that shade. Or have they gotten lighter since getting dark ?

Sorry your going through this 🙁. I'm currently going through the same thing not know if it's a chemical.found out I was pregnant on the 23rd sept, but day after I started bleeding which eventually stopped after 10 days. Had a scan last week,but was told I only look 3-4 week. Got another scan next week to find out
Only thing I can suggest is ask drs to check HCG levels and try another test in a few days

Hope everything will be ok for you 😊

@May5552 my tests only got so dark, not getting lighter is a good sign & no bleeding obvs too a good sign
With my chemical a while back, I had bleeding then after the bleeding stopped (5days & lighter than a normal period) I got a negative test. The tests were getting lighter in between too.

It's the worst wait not knowing what is happening. When I got pregnant again I took the cb digitalis to monitor the weeks but that's not really advised cuz the range is so varied could have you worrying over nothing, but it did settle me as I seen the weeks progress.

As mentioned testing the HCG levels will give a clearer answer if you can get through to the docs. Mines didn't offer that with me, I'd to wait it out.

Best of luck to you & @Sarlou54
