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

How many dpo?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

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone 🤗 I got a really faint line yesterday at 10 dpo and this morning I tested at 11 dpo and I can't see a line 😭 is there still a chance I could be pregnant ?🙏 and my HCG is fluctuating because it's so early? This test was from yesterday

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Compression Socks

Hey, for how long did everyone keep their compression socks on? I am also on blood thinning injections for 6weeks. Many thanks
