Congrats! I wouldn’t read too much into it. The control seems lighter on the most recent one too, so it must have less dye overall. It’s probably best to stop testing now and try to enjoy the positive. Testing every 2 days won’t change the outcome and will likely make you unnecessarily stressed. And don’t worry about symptoms, it’s too early to feel anything meaningful. I mostly had pulling sensations in my lower abs and a heavy uterus like before getting a period. Some women have some classic symptoms this early on, yeah, but for most, they tend to start around 6-7 weeks I think. Good luck at the viability scan!
Thanks you so much. Going to try and not test so much your right won’t change it anyway but adding so much stress atm. Just wish I felt pregnant. - thanks so much for the info !
I completely get how you’re feeling—this part can be so full of worries. I remember being in the same boat, feeling like something should be happening but not really feeling “pregnant” until well after week 6.
It’s actually super common for symptoms to take a little while to kick in, and every pregnancy is unique, so what you’re experiencing is totally normal. And with the tests, they can sometimes vary in shade based on the time of day, how much water you’ve had, and so on. As long as you’re getting positives, that’s a good sign! xxx
The test looks good to me, from someone who drove herself crazy with analysing the lines, the tests are not that sensitive. The line looks good and strong so I would say don’t keep testing.
I know it’s a long wait until the first scan. I got myself in such a tizz that I ended up asking my GP for a HCG test , but it was unnecessary really as everything was fine, I just got myself really worked up about the progression of the lines.
I had no symptoms until at least 6 weeks with both my babies, and even at 6 weeks, just some on off nausea.
Good luck, try and distract yourself and enjoy the time before the morning sickness kicks in. 🍀🍀xx
hey, I was exactly the same as you. I was in denial that I was pregnant and tested every other day for a good few weeks! All I would say is all my clear blue tests were different and I don’t think they’re the best to measure line progression. I’d say yours look really strong positives though and that’s definitely a good sign. Unless you can see a really obvious change I wouldn’t really be concerned. My last test I did is actually less thick than an earlier one but im 10 weeks pregnant now. Also symptom wise iv only really had slightly sore boobs from FET and I’m slightly more hungrier. I didn’t have any nausea and still don’t! Because of this I was convinced something was wrong but is possible to have minimal/no symptoms and everythjng be ok. I had a private scan on the weekend and everything is ok. Hang in there, try and steer away from testing if you can and congratulations on your pregnancy 🫶 xx
Stop testing! Unless your told otherwise by a health care professional , just take it your pregnant. You'll honestly drive yourself insane doing this. I nearly lost my mind testing every day
I never had any symptoms of pregnancy at all. No sore boots, no sickness, absolutely nothing. I felt completely normal, just my usual self throughout whole pregnancy and didn't believe it even when I saw scans haha
I only started feeling pregnant last few weeks of pregnancy as my stomach started getting bigger and I was slowing down a bit
Definitely stop fixating on tests. My tests actually started getting lighter around 7 weeks and I started panicking and stressing out that I was having another mc but all was good .Your pregnant, congrats. Stop testing and go enjoy your pregnancy x
Thank you, your words help! I keep prodding my boobs to check if they are sore and they keep fluctuating between a little tender to nothing. This wait is so hard
If your anxious then you can get a hcg blood test. You can do them at home yourself through companies like medichecks. You’d need to do two, 48 hours apart to check that the levels are rising as they should (they should double)
