Chemical? Devastated 😞

[AVL1987]

I think I had spoken too soon. I’ve tested far too often over the course of two days but the lines do not appear to be getting darker and on my test yesterday evening it seemed lighter if anything although it was a different type of cheap test.

I’m absolutely devastated and I am struggling to work without tearing up every 5 minutes.

Im 10dp5dt today and have decided not to test again until OTD which is Saturday which is day 13.

I feel this is all over but has anyone got any positive or miracle stories for me where they’ve experienced the same so I can have a tiny glimmer of hope to get me through the working week 😞

The only thing I would say is when your levels are low and they only double at 48-72hrs there really isn't much difference to see on a stick especially twice a day so if you can hang off and test every couple of days you may see a bit more of a change. The other thing is the last test is a different brand from the others so it may have a different threshold and he line may not show the same as the others.....try to stick to the same brand if comparing. Good luck.xx

Thank you, appreciate the advice. I think for my sanity I might wait and get a clear blue digital for test day.

If you even look back at my tests on my most recent BFP you'll see the lines don't progress much between them and it was every 2 days and my levels were high (twins) so all is not lost yet!!xx

[AVL1987 in reply to Cinderella5]

Yes that’s true, just looked now. Congratulations again by the way 🥳🥳

What brand of test did you use?

[Cinderella5 in reply to AVL1987]

Thank you!! I use first response early result and tend to stick to that brand as they are the most sensitive out there.xx

Hi AVL1987

I am on the same test day as you and doing my best not to test yet! Its so difficult.

Keep positive, dont stress your mind n body out just yet.

Thinking of you. sending love and strength xx

[AVL1987 in reply to lou12208]

Thank you and you too. This has by far been the worst part of the journey for me, especially mentally.

Wishing you the best of luck for test day x

From the looks of it you are testing morning and afternoon/evening? I wouldn't be testing PM as you are likely to get a weaker line anyway. I would only test first morning wee to get an accurate reading. One way to see if the HCG level is getting stronger is to do a clear blue digital and the number of weeks will increase from one week to the next xx

[AVL1987 in reply to Anipea]

Thanks for the response. I’ve bought the clear blue digital (no of weeks) test to do Saturday morning abs see what the result is. I figure by that time it will either be positive for sure, or definitely negative since it will have been 5 days since last test! Xx

I would second the advice given above - use the same kind of test at the same time of day so you are comparing like with like. If you test first thing in the morning, that's easiest as it's too tricky to ensure you have exactly the same hydration levels from day-to-day if testing in the afternoon. What you've had to drink and how often you've been to the loo can result in different HCG concentrations in your urine.

Best of luck with it all!

Thank you for the response. I’m going to avoid testing now until Saturday morning and then deal with whatever the outcome is. Praying for a miracle 🙏🙏 xx

I'm rooting for you getting your BFP today! Saw your other posts & really wishing you well. I'm finally due to start my first cycle next month so it won't be long at all until I have to face the stark reality of the 2ww. Good luck 🍍🤞 xx
