Hcg lines not getting thicker - anyone else going through the same?

Question

Hi all. I had s mc a few months ago and this is my 2nd pregnancy. Im 24 dpo and my lines were getting thicker initially, but now they’re all the same. Hcg and progesterone was also rising the way it is suppsed to a week ago, but i havent taken a blood test since. Im super worried! What was your hcgs when the test line was as dark as the control line? Anyone else going through the same?

Answer

It could be from the “hook effect”. Once HCG gets high tests have a hard time reading it. Try diluting your urine and see if the line gets stronger. This worked for me in my last pregnancy when I was freaking out from a little spotting and tried testing only to get a faint line.

I have the same thing but I’m not sure what’s up. I asked my doc for some blood tests just to be sure things were increasing like they should.
