Very faint second line on 12dp5dt / HCG level is 61.4 on 13dp5dt

[Mom_Njai]

Hi ladies,

Today, I did upt and it looks very faint @ 12dp5dt. Attached is the image, is this normal at this stage? Has anyone got faint at 12 dp? Feeling very nervous,scared and stressed!

Edit: My beta HCG is 61.4 on 13dp5dt. My doctor told that hcg level is very low and she was expecting at least 100. And I need to repeat to check the doubling factor. How was it for you guys? do you think it would be risky?

I don’t know the brand you used but I know I tested with about 10 brand with varying degrees of sensitivity and varying lines. The only thing I think you can do is try a first response if you can, keep busy and test again in a couple of days? Sending a hug x

These tests are rubbish in my opinion. The ones my clinic gave me were similar and I never got a dark line on those, even on otd (13dp5dt) yet my lines on frer or clear blue were really dark. I'd try another brand. Good luck xx

Hi Mon_Njai. Perhaps you have been checking again, so by now you will have checked on the corret day, and I do hope the line is darker. Good luck! Diane

I did blood test, the HCG level is 61.4 not what my doctor expected. She wants me to test alternate days to check doubling factor. Asked for bed rest
