Stressed out.. HPT lines

Jessy1280 profile image
20 Replies

I've been testing every day and yesterdays tests the lines were bold and I was confident I was pregnant.

Todays morning test and the line seems feinter. Freaking out. I don't feel preggo anymore either. I've been to the clinic to have a beta. Waiting for the result. Due another beta friday. Stressing out that this will be another failure 😢.

Today I don't feel bloated like I was or anything. I don't know what to do x

Congrats on your BFP! Such wonderful news.

Once you get your beta honestly step away from the pregnancy tests.... different urine concentrations different batches, even the digital weeks are unreliable in their way. Keep yourself as distracted as possible over the next few days. Got everything crossed that your HCG levels will rise and there's no reason they shouldn't!! Honestly, the 3 weeks in between BFP and viability are harder for some than the 2ww - so you need to look after yourself, be on your side talk to yourself like you would a friend going through it, be your own cheerleader sort of. Cling on to hope, there's nothing foolish in that... Good luck x

Oh bless you I am not surprised you are stressing! I totally agree, try to stay clear from the tests now you will drive yourself crazy, really good they are checking your levels.

Can I ask are they doing that at your clinic? I asked mine on monday and they said they dont, so I would have to do pregnancy test at home and then next thing they do is a 7 week scan. Can you request them at your doctors? Xxx

I requested it at my clinic. It costs £30 and should be same day results. Got my 7 weeks scan on 27th x

I agree completely. All of us that are lucky enough to get a BFP do tend to become serial testers but LauraJanef is right- levels will vary throughout & symptoms will come & go as the body gets used to the pregnancy hormones quickly. Mine came & went & my daughter arrived safely in June! Not all women will have any symptoms- my mil had no with her 3 pregnancies & had 3 healthy sons. Easier said than done try not to worry. Early weeks are tough ( much harder than 2ww!) but take it one day at a time is all you can do. I spent my whole pregnancy worrying if it would go wrong & it was such special time which got ruined by fear. Good luck Jessy1280 with your blood tests hope they can offer you reassurance. xxx

Try to keep calm. Easier said than done as I’m sure I would be exactly the same but It’s great that they are checking your levels straight away so will hopefully give you some piece of mind xxx

Hope you’re ok. Try and relax - although easier said than done I know. You won’t always feel pregnant or have symptoms at this stage so try not to worry about that side. And no more tests!

Thinking of you xx

Really hope that your beta on Friday can reassure you and I’m sure it will. It’s so stressful lovely, sending hugs. And I’m in agreement, once you’ve got your good news on Fri step away from the tests! Xxx

Had my results. My hcg is 1, 065 at 16dp5dt. The nurse said its a lovely figure but they expect it to double by Friday. She said its usually in the hundreds in the early days. Sigh of relief for now xx

I'm a born worrier by nature. I think sometimes we want this soooo badly our minds can play tricks. Thanks so much xx

I’m exactly the same. I suffer from anxiety normally but since starting treatment it’s been through the roof! One day at a time xx

Couldn't agree more. I suffer anxiety too. Took me a while to realise it. Congrats on your bfp! X

That's a great number! Congrats. Fingers crossed it keeps rising. I know the stress you feel - I'm currently in that phase of waiting on HCG bloods after a BFP. Lets hope its a good week for numbers!!! x

I'm not sure how it compares to other ladies. Read on Google it should be 18-7000 odd on week 5 and 1080+ in week 6. I'm sure I'm classed as 6 weeks today so 1065 is below the threshold. Clinic seemed to think 1065 was good though x

Thanks all. Just pray my clinic ring me back ASAP. They said it needs to be over 5 at this stage and double by Friday x

Good luck for your beta hoping all will be fine for you, easier said than done but try and stay in the moment where you can say ‘today I am pregnant’ I heard this on a podcast and found it really helpful xx
