Hi,
I don’t really know what I’m looking for here as I know no one can predict the future and all I can really do is wait.
I had a v faint pos the day after my period was due last Monday, continued testing and it took longer than my pregnancy with my daughter for the test line to get as dark as the control line (I know they’re not quantitative but impossible for me not to compare). Sat sun mon this week barely any change in darkness so booked a private HCG. Finger prick test Monday in clinic showed HCG level of 916.9, Tuesday Wednesday tests were darker, yesterday 8pm they brought the machine to me (I assume it had been in the car all day as he’d been elsewhere) and level was 898.9. I don’t understand how the urine tests are darker when the finger prick is lower.
I’ve been to EPU for a venous HCG test and I’ve got to wait and see what that level is and probably repeat in 48h to compare. I just am so lost I don’t know what to think or feel.
I haven’t had any bleeding, just cramping on and off since I found out. I am under investigation for standing up too long causing cramps since my c section 2 years ago so I have a scan at what would be 7 weeks anyway which was booked before I found out I was pregnant. I asked if they could move it sooner but they couldn’t. Did also have the flu starting the Monday of the vvfl with a temp of 38.4 so I’d already been worrying even more than normal anyway.
