Big Congratulations to you ! x

I don't think I'll ever go through pregnancy and NOT suspect a problem!!

Thanks everyone for your reassurances. I'm still testing, lines are still not getting any darker. I know I should stop but I'm so worried. I have to just let things happen when they are ready though.

I've run out of ICs so now started on Tescos ones. They are still the same as they were a week ago.

I never got a dark on an IC, they are crap!

FRER all the way!!

I hope you don't mind me asking... did they go down from 1-2 to Not pregnant?

Sorry about your miscarriage. x

But they are notoriously inaccurate so I have my FX'd for you xxxx

Do you mind me asking what happened? How did you know it was a chemical, did you start bleeding or did you get your bloods checked?
I hope you don't mind me asking, I know it's a bit early still. I'm very sorry to hear what happened.

Thank you.

Well i had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks, from getting a 3+ at around 5 weeks my PG symptoms stopped totally at 6 weeks so i did another and it said 2-3 and i did another a couple of days later that said 1-2.
I still had to wait for the dating scan to be told i had a m/c even though i knew. I had no bleeding etc.

If a digi says you are preggers, stop testing. Those other tests only register you are pregnant, not how far along. Each test has different dye lvls. How dark a line is doesn't matter. IC s are crap anyway!! You are preggo!

After I realised that the digi should have been changing to either 2-3 or 3+, I was over 5 weeks at this point, I went to the docs who ordered the hcg bloods. I started bleeding before I got the results though

. In hindsight I should have realised that it was going to end like this though because I did a First response on 16 DPO and the line was pretty faint compared to the control (although easy to see). It should have been a lot darker 3 days after my period was due but I had never been pregnant before and got carried away with the excitement.

honey the only pregnancy test that can tell you HOW pregnant you are is a series of beta blood tests

youre going to drive yourself crazy with this, honey. Call the doctor and get them to do some blood tests. i know its hard sweetie but try not to keep testing especially with crappy IC's

I tested today with CB digi and got another 1-2. I'm pretty sure it's not our time, but I need to confirm this. I spoke to the midwife today who is reluctant to do bloods. She said she would call me back but I didn't hear anything today. Hopefully she'll call tomorrow.

They should be darker by now and showing further along. I know it's not good, I just don't know how long until my body realises this.
