What is your pregnancy test saying?

It’s strong positive

Which pregnancy test are you using? They tend to stop working after a certain point when hcg gets too high, hook effect I think its called.

Depending where you are can you get a same day early scan? It's private and costs about £100 but it'll give you an immediate answer before EPU.

Firstly that isn’t always the case. Plenty of women still get strong tests the entire way through a pregnancy.

Secondly, I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say to the OP anyway. Twice she’s stated she’s still getting very strong positive tests, but you tell her they tend to stop working after a certain point. So are you trying to say the fact she’s still getting strong tests is a bad thing?
