Hcg levels

Found out I was pregnant last week, but my tests aren’t getting any darker. I’ve got positives on digitals and every test I do there’s a line but it’s not getting any darker.
I’ve been testing everyday since last Sunday and it’s gotten slightly darker but not much.
Any advice please?

HCG doubles every 48 hours. If you were to test every 48 hours you would notice a difference between the lines x

What happens if they just stay the same? X

Yeah I would be getting a couple of bloods done. Privately if you have to. Depending on how far along you are, the tests don't look great. If you are *quite* pregnant I've heard that there's no point doing the tests, go off the hCG numbers. Hope every thing goes well 🙏

Are these tests just daily tests? If you line up just the morning tests for each day you may be able to see the progression better, if that makes sense!

From personal experience my lines never progressed past a slightly more than faint positive on strip tests after a week of testing. I had to use the more expensive tests to see progression. Every person/situation is different. For peace of mind you could try getting some blood work done or using different tests. Wishing the best for you!

If I’m honest it’s probably not a good sign. Hoping everything is ok though x

If you have the strength I’d probably wait a few days then test as it’s torture otherwise! Xx

Stop testing daily as you're torturing yourself xx

After you first positive are supposed to wait another week I know thats hard but it can take 48-72 hours to double ,so testing everyday you won't get much difference x

Hey, I had this in August and unfortunately it was a chemical pregnancy, my hcg levels just weren’t rising at all and had positive tests for well over a week before I started to bleed and all tests were the same not getting darker! Unfortunately I don’t think it’s a good sign from personal experience but everyone is different maybe your body is just taking its time! xx

Strong positive early on

I got a digital clear blue positive early on, 3 days before my period was due and consistently dark lines already on daily easy@home tests(period was due 2 days ago) without any symptoms (though I have had a head cold). When I previously had chemical pregnancies with weaker test results I did have nausea. Wondering if I can tell anything from this, eg does it point towards twins or anything like that?

Bridesmaids excitement

Last week I posted about needing bridesmaids and was SOOOOO excited that so many people reached out. All I needed was 3-4 girls…. Reality hit HARD though. 60+ comments, 40+ “connections” and only ONE person has been consistent enough with responses. What happened to all the support ? I am genuinely confused by this 🤣 especially knowing that I was willing to pay for damn near everything if they couldn’t, on top of actually paying them a lump sum. Why comment publicly saying you’ll support, just to ignore me privately ? It’s not like it was short notice either…. The wedding is 14 months away 😂 14 months to create a lasting friendship with a fellow, local mom as well. Wasn’t just going to have you be a bridesmaid and that’s it!? This was to also build a friendship! Shoutout to the one girl who is actually sticking by her comment !! 💕

Pregnant or no?

Pic taken within the timeframe test allows but line so light and it’s the day my period should come (so shouldn’t mine be darker)?
