Does this look dark enough?

I have had many losses including 2 ectopics. My anxiety is bad and I’m worrying this could be another ectopic. The hospital won’t do blood draws so I’ve paid privately and 4w0d was 114 and 4w2d was 265.
these tests are from 16dpo (4w2d) (top one) and 18dpo (4w4d) (bottom one) there just doesn’t look that much progression. I’m trying to decide whether to go for another blood draw as I’d really like to reduce my anxiety that it’s an ectopic. What do you think?

I completely understand your anxiety. You sound identical to me 2 ectopics (medically managed) and several mcs. Had given up and along came a surprise baby at just a tad younger than yourself.

That line progression looks great! Almost a dye stealer.

I used the clear weeks indicator the last time and tested with one of those every week for 3 weeks. But, I did that from as soon as I tested positive. I was even doing tests up until I had a private scan at 6 wks.

Your blood sounds great as well.

You can, due to your history self refer to your local EPU. They should offer you a scan at around 6 wks.

I couldn't get in before 8 wks 5 days, so went private.

I even had what I was positive was the same pain I had with the extopics which was a dull constant pain in my right hip. Both ectopics were right sided.

Turns out I even ovukayed from the right with this baby.

I'm not going to tell you to relax. I won't patronise you. Because I didn't throughout the whole pregnancy. Once I knew baby was in the right place, then I was worried about mc. Then late mc and other issues. It's hard to give yourself hope and excitement.

I ended up being so unprepared for baby when I delivered early, we had to order all the baby gear while at hospital posy delivery.

Good luck and tentative congratulations. You're in for a bumpy ride no matter how this goes.
