Uneasy about line progression

I know, I know it’s pregnancy tests aren’t designed for line progression but I am coming from a place of 2 back to back losses in the last 3 months so my anxiety is just through the roof 😓

Below is my line progression from day 10,11,13 &14 (day 14 was a 3 hour hold and the others were all first morning wee, all taken within the 5 min test drying time)

Does this look ok and if anyone has similar success stories with similar line progression in the early stages would be great to hear! Also do the lines look ok for the dpo dates?

I had a bit of spotting this morning so that is why my anxiety has risen.

I am going for blood work next week but dr suggested to just keep testing until then!

Looks great to me, OP. The line has gotten noticeably darker each day x

@minnieot Thanks for commenting. Really praying this baby is a sticky one! I am trying to remain positive as the last test is still slightly darker and wasn’t my first morning wee so was expecting it to maybe be slightly lighter. The joy and anxiety of pregnancy after losses is real!

That's especially promising if it wasn't your fmu. Completely feel that, I'm so sorry for your loss(es), hopefully this one is a sticky one. Are you going to book in for an early scan? Congratulations, by the way ❤️ x

@minnieot Thanks - I really appreciate the positivity there! So I rang the early pregnany yesterday due to having a bit of spotting (I have a heart shaped uterus so it is extra common, doesn’t stop the worry when you see blood though!). They suggested to keep testing this week and then next week go in for blood work and then the following week go in for an early scan, they said they can’t really see much before 6 weeks so not worth adding extra anxiety doing one early and potentially not seeing much

Aww that's brilliant that they're being so supportive, you really need that support in pregnancy after loss. It's very difficult seeing blood but just try to keep in mind how common bleeding is in early pregnancy, and there are so many explanations for it, like you say, especially with your heart shaped uterus. Wishing you the absolute best of luck and a happy, healthy pregnancy. Just take it a day at a time and you'll get through it x

Looking good to me, fingers crossed! X

@WickWood Thanks for commenting. I have had some light spotting today so going to keep testing and hoping for the best for my bloods next week!

Looks good to me. The best tip I learned was to compare tests 48 hours apart, not 24 hours apart. So looking at days 11 and 13 you see a definite progress. 👍🏻

@OrangeWaffle Thanks so much for commenting- this morning looks much darker, although my spotting has turned more red so that is freaking me out now. Praying and hoping all will be ok

Your hormone levels are clearly rising, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. If it makes you feel any better, I had bleeding early on in this pregnancy and when I had a scan at the EPU I had a subchorionic haematoma which is apparently the leading cause of bleeding in early pregnancy. Blood is so scary but not always bad news x

TTCJourney321 · 17/07/2024 09:05

@minnieot This is what I am trying to focus on today and remain positive- the tests are darker today so that is a good sign.

Any sign of blood is just the worst, I am hoping its something as simple as what I mentioned about my uterus bleeding from the other side (which is quite common) or something you mentioned!

Thank you for helping me through this!
