Postive test BUT.............

[anonmous23]

Hi ladies

Hope all are well

So wanted to update and get some real honest advice.

2WW over today did a clearblue test 10 days past and one actually today 5 day gap. 5 days ago came postive showing 1-2 weeks and now 5 days today came postive again 1-2 weeks I am happy but my levels again must be low.

Can anyone from UK know which pregnancy strip tests I can purchase which produce hcg lines?

I am happy but this happened to me last time 4 years ago and had a chemical really need all yours prayers and healthy dust prayers for the coming couple weeks and and ahead of I get there.

Xxxx💗💙

Home pregnancy tests are not reliable at all to check growth. you should have 2 hcg blood tests in 48 hours to check if the level doubled, so you will know for sure. I’ll pray for a positive outcome for you, keep us updated 🙏🏻🍀

True. That's the only way.

Clear blue weeks indicators are really bad tests to use, they are inaccurate and just cause worry. Worth getting a First Response or just a normal clear blue if you want to see line progression, but in my experience of chemicals it just causes more panic and stress so I would always advise not to continually test too much. Congratulations on your pregnancy x

I know what you mean about doing tests all the time, no good for the mind and body. I see how I get on these couple weeks when I do a blood test. Thank you xx

Hi, best way of checking if everything is going well is to do 2 blood tests for HCG levels (with a day break between them). This will show if human gonadotropin hormone is doubling every 48 hours as it should and then discussing results with your clinic.

Thank you ladies. OK will aim to book a blood test this week and then another one 48 hours later. Thank yiu all so much. Such a nightmare to get appointment with GP. But will push them cause of my previous miscarriages. Thank you xx

We paid for blood tests the bfp after our chemical, the first blood test came back high so we didn't bother with the next 🤞🏼 all the best lovely, congratulations 😘❤️ xxx

Yeah if I don't get anywhere with my GP then might just pay for one at least from the day you tested postive after 2WW did you do your blood test straight away or wait certain amount of days? 💗💗💙

[HollyT7]

It was 15 days after my transfer, my clinic dont test hcg as standard, you have to wait for your 7 week scan, but they allowed me to pay for it as I was a severe bag of aniexty, I think it was about £50. Cheaper option would be to test with first response a few days apart, but then you get in the depths of test addiction and losing the plot constantly comparing lines 🤷🏻‍♀️ ultimately your scan is the one to show everything is progressing the way it should be 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi Holly thanks so much will do. Gp calling me Wednesday but will push for this. To be honest though body feeling completely normal so don't think my level are going up. 😕 anyways thank you
