Waaa! I’m in a bit of a horrible limbo at the moment with progression lines and just want some honest perspective please.
This will be my second pregnancy. With my daughter I had really good, strong line progression from 8dpo and at 16dpo I stopped testing as I got a dye stealer quickly.
This time around I’ve got pretty slow progression lines and the past two days it looks like it’s getting lighter.
Not sure exactly when I ovulated but tests from top to bottom in my picture were with fmu and are roughly:
First 9/10dpo. (Thursday 20th)
Second 10/11dpo (Friday 21st)
Third 13/14dpo (Sunday 23rd)
Fourth 14/15dpo (Monday 24th) - af due
Fifth 15/16dpo (yesterday 25th)
Sixth 16/17dpo (today 26th)
Comparing Monday to this mornings test and today it’s definitely lighter - would expect much darker at 17dpo? I’ve had a belly ache since about 6dpo (so 11 days now). Boobs aren’t sore at all, although I can’t remember when they started being sore when I was pregnant with my daughter.
Not feeling hopeful! Also annoyingly with 1-4 I had 3am toilet wake ups and then yesterday and today I slept all the way through the night so I’m not sure if that will have affected the hcg concentration in my wee (wonder if 1-4 were more concentrated after going to the loo at 3am and not drinking anything at all until I woke up, vs glass of water before bed the past 2 nights and then retaining that until I woke up - if this makes sense?)
Anyway, I know I’m going to just have to wait it out and I’m bracing myself for a chemical but would like some advice from anyone who has experienced the same!
Thanks 💜
