8dp5dt, lines not progressing, cramps in lower back

[Ferlove]

Hi Everyone

I'm currently 8dp5dt after my husband told several times not to test but I caved in early at 5dp5dt and since then the progression lines don't seem to be getting any darker, they seem to be staying the same.This is my first time frozen embryo transfer and I'm worried this could he a chemical - feeling so so sad right now as am having period like pains in my lower back. I felt seriously happy to get to see double line on 5dpt after trying for three years normally but now am fearful. Everyday morning am waking up with fear that I might not see the double line again. And the lines are not progressing at all. Is this chemical or anyone had the same issue but still got positive news, pls share your experience with me and It would be much appreciated during this difficult time. Am feeling not so optimistic these days

Thank you ❤️

You can see progression when you compare the same brand tests. All you can do now is wait another couple of days or until the otd you were given to test again. Another way is to go for b-hcg blood tests 2 days apart for confirming it rises. Good luck!

I think there is progression, my lines didn’t change much until day 12 and then my HCG was 1035. I used those little test strips and while they can pick early levels, I don’t think they are very sensitive to increasing levels in the days in between. Your lines look good to me 🍀🍀 xx

Looks to me as lines progressing - my midwife told me the dipping sticks are usually more accurate than the brand pregnancy tests (else they wouldn't be using them in hospitals for pregnancy tests alongside bloods). And they are definitely stronger. Fingers crossed for you.
