Fluctuating HCG levels?

Edit: my blood work has come in and is showing promising results! My OB is having me go in tomorrow for my viability scanšŸ¤

Hi, not sure if anyone knows but I’m 5w1d after two losses. I’m paranoid so I’ve been taking pregnancy tests each morning since I found out. I had a blood draw today to test my hcg and progesterone levels and have another in a couple of days….

With that being said, I took a test again this morning to ease my anxiety and make sure the line keeps getting darker… only this time it was much fainter. I took another after my appointment, and again it was faint. I again took another test after a few hours and it seems to be darker?

Am I being paranoid and uneducated and predicting another MC? Or do my levels fluctuate and everything is fine?

(I know I should wait for a professional opinion, especially because I have no signs of another MC, except my symptoms seems to be decreasing)

What do the blood tests say? Are they going up or fluctuating there? I think the pregnancy tests could vary depending on how diluted or not your urine is. I’m not doctor tho šŸ˜€

I haven’t heard back about the blood tests (I know I’m probably overreacting too early lol) it’s possible the first two were diluted?

Honestly it’s so hard not to overthink- I’ve had two miscarriages in the last year so I feel you. I would wait for confirmation on your blood tests, if those go down at all then I would def call OB

Thank you so much everyone!ā¤ļøšŸ˜­ this is seriously helping my anxiety. It’s very hard and unfortunately has taken the joy from the potential rainbow. I wish you all luck in your journeys as wellšŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤

I could have written this. I was testing every other day and I had a day where they were lighter. I read online that some test kits contain varying amounts of dye ..? If you've had blood then that the best.

I had a scan today and all looks good so far and I'm 5+3

Congrats to you!

Can you book an early scan for some reassurance? I know it's only shortlived reassurance but that might help too.

Because of my history they told me the earliest I can come in for a scan is 6w4d. So I have that booked for next week
