testing obsession *sensitive

Hey guys!

So I’ve been obsessively testing since day 5 watching the line grow! However today it doesn’t look stronger and the CB digital test only says 1-2 weeks! Last time I got 2-3 weeks by day 11!

I’m now so worried that we are miscarrying again! I’m a complete nervous wreck and I really wanted to enjoy this positive! Can the lines vary by the bulk of pregnancy tests? Is the Cb accurate? Should I be a little concerned or am I working myself up?

I know I should have waited until OTD but honesty I’m weaker and more impatient than you 😂 if you could hold off! I can’t put it down to any other reason!

hi there, I would genuinely advise staying away from those tests now that you’ve had a positive, it’s time for beta hcg blood tests to determine whether the numbers are going up. If you don’t wish to do this then I’d test again in 2-3 days’ time and you’ll be able to assess whether they’re getting stronger or visibly weaker. Day to day really isn’t the best method xx

thanks I know it’s such an obsession and it settles my worry each day - well generally! But the line looks darker again when I looked at it a few min ago! I need to stop you’re right 🙈

the thing is hcg doubles every 48 hours at first so there really won’t be a difference day to day xx

Hi there. I am 9dp5dt and has never done early urine pregnancy test. It can give a false sense of hope or despair.Urine pregnancy test kit, depending on brand and batch, might not be too accurate to see if the line is darker compared to the day before. I suggest you wait till the actual test date to see the results.

I can understand why you want to test early as it crosses my mind all the time but since you are already post 11 days I think it's better you wait till actual test date. Praying for you...

thanks so much! Mental torture the 2WW is! I hope you are doing well! Best of luck and I’m sending some baby dust your way x

[Purple_skies in reply to Hidden]

Thanks! You too! Tons of baby dust for you!I think we all qualify for marathons after doing ivf

I seriously question my sanity during this process I turn into a different person and a bag of nerves!

you are not weak or impatient by testing early 🤗💜 you are doing what worked for you, your lines look really strong up to this point and the clear blue digital could just need a few days more (they are also soooo unreliable !)all you can do now is test when you next feel like its helpful and see what’s happening in there 48 hours will give you the best idea but if you are like me you will likely test a few more times in between. Fingers and toes crossed for you lovely xx

Hey, we all know how hard it is to resist the urge to test however my one piece of advice in all of this is to stop testing. As blunt as it sounds, you can’t change the outcome now either so be gentle on your self and try and let your mind relax (I 100% know that easier easier said than done!). I’ve been there so many times and tests unfortunately now been nothing to me, weak likes have meant negative and positive outcomes and so have strong ones! Take it day by day and every day and every day is a step closer xxx

Hey so at the point you are at 1-2 weeks is accurate. unlike pregnancy which is counted from the first day of your last period, pregnancy tests like cb calculate the number of weeks from conception (when the sperm fertilised the egg). So your Hcg levels are correct at this point. I wouldn’t worry about the lines too. The amount of Hcg in urine could be due to the time of day you peed and how much water your drank before hand. I think waiting for your official test day and blood tests is the best thing you can do. I say this, with my BFP I test every day for weeks! 🙈 but honestly, just try to enjoy it. Right now you’re pregnant!! Congratulations 🥳

Xx

update… so my suspicions were right, my BETA hcg was only at 26 today, 12dp5dt! Im back on Friday for another BETA bloods and to confirm chemical miscarriage! Just can’t catch a break! ❤️ thanks for the support guys ❤️

that is exactly my frame of thought I’m not a person who would wait around as my mind races so it’s not something I could do ever! This testing softened the blow for me which I really appreciated! And of course there was still a bit of hope but I had a good idea! X
