Anybody had this happen and not end in miscarriage?
Roughly 11-14 DPO. Period was due today. After the initial jump from 11-12 there hasn’t seem to be anymore increases

Take picture of the tests in the valid timeframe and then compare. Comparing wet tests to dry tests won’t always show the progression.

My lines have not been getting darker. My first test was a First Response. I got some of those pregmate strips that a lot of people use to track the lines and I'm not seeing a change. I'm suspecting it'll be a chemical. My period is believed to be due tomorrow. I have no idea actual dates due to having a D&C in Sept.

@kaylenes,
I normally do the other styles, which I used the first time I tested. I went with these because 1. they were a lot cheaper and 2. I've seen them used alot with people tracking lines.
It's honestly a waiting game for me. I'm already having sore boobs so idk. If I go 30 days and still testing positive. then I'll call my doc office.

I had a chemical in September, my tests never even got this dark. I would say it looks okay for now!

I am stressing too. Lmp 10/26 so I’m due again on 11/23 so I technically have not even missed my period yet but here I am stressing about lines. Hcg does take 2-3 days to double at this point so that’s what I keep telling myself. If your period is due Saturday like mine is, then you haven’t missed your period until 11/24 technically so it’s still so early! Some bodies take longer to go up in HCG and some bodies just have lower HCG levels. We must breathe, as hard as that is lol

We just gotta keep reminding ourselves that the tests aren’t THAT sensitive. HCG doubles every 48-72 hours at this early stage, so we wouldn’t see a huge difference for a while. HCG varies and isn’t linear all the time. Every body and every pregnancy is different. The stress is normal but … not fun!

@manderdz3,
I've had 7 miscarriages in a row. Honestly expecting this to be #8. This is just passing time. I'm not taking this too seriously. Test, symptoms and HCG dont mean anything anymore. You could have it all and still miscarry.
Everything looked fine my last miscarriage, even saw the baby and HR. It stopped growing at 7 weeks due to chromosome abnormalities. Doesn't matter what my tests look like or my HCG anymore.

Glad to know I’m not alone here! I’ve been freaking out that my tests haven’t gotten darker and that my HCG blood result was so low (17).
