Has anyone had slow line progression on frer's and everything been ok? I first tested at 9dp5dt (14dpo- top test) and got an obvious positive but i've tested daily since and the lines seem to be staying the same.
I've had a mmc and a chemical and have an awful feeling this is gonna end in the same way 😭😫.
T.I.A for any replies xxx

They look strong lines to me. I don’t think they get much darker. I was pregnant with twins with numbers over the 3k mark and I think your tests were darker than mine.
Really?? I never expected to feel so anxious after getting a positive but infertility and previous losses f**ks with your mind. I think its best I stop testing now and just wait for the viability scan.
I was wondering the same.....my tests 10dp5dt and 12dp5dt look pretty much the same. I can see a definite difference in your 9d one and its got darker since then so try not to worry (easier said than done I know!What is the next step for you? My clinic asked me to test 17days past transfer and then they'll book me for a scan if it's still positive. I'm feeling so anxious right now! x
Thank you! This was my 4th transfer after 3 failed rounds so I'm over the moon right now! Try not to get upset.......stay calm for bubba! I think you just have to do what you have to do to try and pass the time until the scan. I'm planning on testing again tomorrow (so that'll be every other day since I had the first positive), then going to drop down to every 3 then 4 then 5 days until after my scan. Probably sounds crazy to some but after so much heartache in this journey it's what feels right for me at the moment to get me through! x
I completely understand that! Part of me wants to test again but only if the line darkens, i dont wanna see it fade again. This was our 4th transfer too. 1st ended at 12 weeks, 2nd bfn and 3rd was a chemical. My anxiety is through the roof.
We had 2 transferred this time and i'm on clexane, aspirin and prednisolone on top of the usual fet meds. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 that at least one of them has stuck around x
What a tough journey you've had......only natural for you to be anxious. I'm also on Clexane and aspirin this round for the first time, so hopefully those are doing the trick for us both!As we are at the same stage, happy to message privately either on here or WhatsApp if it might help having someone to bounce concerns off? x
For line progression I use the cheap clinical ones, because they have the higher level of 25 the lines are fainter and so there is a bigger range to see the progression.
With the FRERs it seems it gets to the maximum dye saturation quicker because of the lower limit so you will stop seeing progression quicker.
I tested every day in week 5 and then did one a week for 6 &7 before my viability scan at 8.
That looks like good progression to me and strong positives. I used the digital weeks indicators to show me progression after my chemical pregnancy (I was also bleeding again). I know they are notorious for being inaccurate but for both my chemical and my successful round they were spot on. I tested twice a day for about a fortnight lol 🙈🙈 xx
They look strong to me. Mine took a while to progress and I’m now 12 weeks.Also consider other factors like how warm the weather has been, potentially you might have been drinking more water which could affect the concentration of hcg in your urine.
It’s so hard to stay positive after loss though, I have been a wreck through our journey so far after an MMC last year.
Be kind to yourself, the odds are that it will be ok x
