4+4 (18dpo) should it say 3+ by now?

[Deeoco]

These are my tests from today. Doing line progression to reassure myself after previous loss.

I got 1-2 at 8dpo, 2-3 at 14dpo and today is 18dpo and it’s still on 2-3? Is this normal? Thank you xx

Didn't get a 3+ at all, even at 6 weeks when blood tests showed I was well over the advertised threshold. I would step away from the weeks indicator. They are awful and will do nothing for your anxiety which I totally get BTW after 5 losses. I'd caution against line progression honestly but I get the urge to look for reassurance. I've had good progression that led to loss, and slow progression this time which I am now 39 weeks with. That top test looks great and strong though :) wishing you a happy outcome xx

These tests aren't an exact science - but in any case they are counting weeks from conception, so 2-3 is exactly what I'd expect it to say for you. If you really want to see a 3+ then do another one in a few days' time, but it's not guaranteed that you'll get a 3+ at all, and if that will make you anxious then it's better not to test again.
