Another weak positive test and I’m almost gutted.

My egg donor friend is due to start stims this weekend and my period is due tomorrow. I’m 13dpo today. Felt a bit funny yesterday and did a test this morning and got a faint but decent line on a FRER. Mine and hubs reaction was almost “not again” after my 3 previous pregnancies all failed early on around 7-14 days after faint positive. I’m sure it will be the same again. I hadn’t even thought I had ovulated!

HCG test done at clinic today was only 23.5, so we will repeat on Friday.

I’m genuinely not after any false hope or encouragement - I’ve learnt to be more guarded after my previous fails which are all documented on here. but I am Interested in facts about people’s HCG levels - whether encouraging or not! Who knows their hcg at 13dpo? Anyone out there had multiple chemicals/early fails and ended up actually getting pregnant? Even with a low hcg?

Annoyingly it’s probably ruining my donor cycle. I can’t really start my friends stims if we are in limbo. 😞

I don’t have any advice but what c**p timing for you. Hopefully by Friday you will know and then you might possibly still be able to start? If your levels rise then I guess that’s not going to be possible but maybe that could lead to something good too. I’m hoping for you x

Hoping tomorrow’s hcg does tell me something!xx

Are you sure your 13dpo? As you could have ovulated late if you weren't sure when you did? Fingers crossed for you xx

I’m pretty sure I am... I didn’t think i ovulated since I didn’t get a clear line on opks. Like it’s meant to be as dark or darker than the control line and I was testing 3x a day and it never got quite as dark. But the “darkest” line plus a temp spike on my chart (I started charting again this month as I was so sure I’m not ovulating) put me at 13dpo, and now 14dpo today. Line has darkened so just have to see. It’s nice to have my donor round in the background, I feel less stressed this time than I have all the other times. Xx
