Test fears

Shouldn’t these be getting darker but they just keep getting lighter… Can someone explain why it’s getting lighter..? I had a missed miscarriage in 22, my son is 6 months old, I got my first positive on April 30th. I don’t want another MC… first positive in comments to compare to latest. I know I need to stop testing but my doc apt isn’t for 2 weeks and my U/S isn’t for 3 and having an angel baby already means my anxiety is through the roof..

I know they’re cheap tests… I also got one at a new life clinic and that’s the one I’ll post next. It was darker than these. I’ve always tested on the Walmart equate ones that are $1 and they show up immediately. I just fear another MC or even a chemical…

I’m sorry and pray it’s not a chemical but this is exactly what mine did and I had a chemical…I hope your levels keep rising and baby is growing and healthy❤️

Use clear blue early pregnancy test

@Haley ty 🥺😭

When were all these tests done? HCG only doubles every 2 to 3 days, if your first test was only on the 30th you may have tested too soon to notice a rise in HCG. Wait a couple of days and then test again, hopefully you will notice a change in the lines then 🤞🏻x

@Lauren the go to the far left where from today. One in the am one from an hour ago.

@Bella I would just test again in a couple of days and then only test every other day and make sure you do it at the same time everyday with your first wee off the day. Don’t do multiple tests a day as these are not accurate xx

You can only compare tests of the same brand, 48 hours apart, with FMU. Also you must take a picture within the testing window (3-5 minutes normally) and then discard the test, do not look at them after the testing window as they can change. So lining them up like this is not good

Try to calm down. I know it's harder to do but you don't want stress to cause a chemical or a miscarriage. You're positive girl! Congrats!! Test once every 2-3 days with FMU. You should see the progress

@Melissa please don't say things like that, you cannot just magically stop being stressed, especially when people are telling you you might cause a miscarriage 😑 very unhelpful and not nice, what if it caused someone to blame themselves when there was nothing they could have done to prevent miscarriage.

@Charley im not so much lining them up after the 5 minute mark to go off of. More so showing they where all positive. I don’t use any old tests as indicators just the fresh ones. 🫶🏻

@Melissa As someone that’s had a miscarriage, and a successful pregnancy I can say that I do not come stress free unfortunately. The only reason I’m so worried is because my first was a MC and I knew before the doctor did. Doc nor my ex would listen or believe me. My second I was worried but never had that feeling. This one I feel the same way as the first. So all that emotion and fear is coming back. I lost that baby at 9 weeks and carried it till 15 weeks because my doctor would do nothing. I can’t handle that again. 🥺

@Bella ah yeah ok, just as good practice they should be thrown away as soon as you've looked at them

@Charley I have never thrown a positive away. I still have the 3 from my MC and the 2 from my son… I wont keep them all but still…
