Slow line progression

[Rubylu]

I should be 18/19dpo today, I didn’t track but my Flo app says I ovulated on the 5th of this month, we had sex on the 6th, so is a possibility I could have ovulated a little later, but I’m just not seeing much line progression like I did with my first, I’ve now gone into panic mode and already accepted in my head that something is going to go wrong.

any positive stories?

Comparing the first and the last there is definitely progression. Time to stop testing 👍

Stop with the obsessive testing.. you're only stressing yourself out by doing this. Pregnancy tests are designed to tell you whether or not you're pregnant, not the viability of the pregnancy.

By the way, HCG only doubles every couple of days. There is a clear change between your first test and the last test. Put the tests down now and enjoy the process :)

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Personally I can't stand the responses on here saying line progression doesn't mean anything, because it absolutely can. However, your tests are great and as dark as I ever got on my successful pregnancies using the same brand as you. Mine stayed quite faint until about 20dpo.

I do agree with the line progression, I had a miscarriage before my first and the only thing that prepared me for it was the fact my lines started getting lighter, it softened the blow a little bit as I knew it was coming.

I'm starting to think I’m not as far along as I thought, but my tests the last 3 days don’t seem to be getting much darker so I’m starting to worry about ectopic now. I’m having a few cramps also but I know that can just be a sign of early pregnancy, no bleeding or anything so I may just book a private scan for a weeks time and hope for the best until then :)

attached a pic of my test today . .

Just come across this post, what was the outcome for you? :)

All was ok and I’m currently 17 weeks! :)
