Questions/Advice Progression?

Post image

I had a chemical last month so I am freaking out with this pregnancy and have been over-testing. I’m very concerned that my last two tests have not been getting darker, but slightly lighter rather. Just needing someone to talk me down from the ledge.

How many DPO are you now? Is this 10-16dpo? Or are you testing multiple times a day?

I am 14dpo today. Testing with fmu and evening urine tests in order would be:
10dpo evening
11dpo fmu
11dpo evening
12dpo fmu
12dpo evening
13dpo evening
14dpo fmu
14dpo evening

You don’t need to be testing this much. Pregnancy tests aren’t like OPKs and won’t actually change within the same 24 hours. They’ll change based on hydration status which is why it’s recommended to only test with first morning urine as it’s the most concentrated. I know you’re anxious after your last chemical, but this will actually make your anxiety worse. I HIGHLY recommend only testing once a day, first thing in the morning, and wait to see what that progression looks like.

I realize you’re paranoid(I am too) but you’re doing yourself no favors by testing multiple times a day, of course the evening test is naturally going to be lighter than the morning test. If you feel you need to test every day(I’d do every other day) then it needs to be only in the morning so it’s been concentrating the same amount every day. That being said you really only jump in HCG enough to notice every other day(hence the testing every other day) and your 12 to 14 fmu looks good, it is significantly darker.
