Ectopic? Chemical?

Question

I’m 16dpo. 2 days late and I got a vvvfl at 8dpo. Every day I tested up until 12 dpo and the lines got darker. I then tested at 14dpo and it was a lot darker. This morning I tested and it seems to be lighter than the 14 dpo. I had cramps all week and they weren’t really there yesterday. My boobs are on and off tender, but today seem super sore. Is this normal? Why would the line be lighter?

Answer

Stop testing and just confirm with a blood test from your doctor to check your levels.

Answer

Stop testing

Answer

Side note - if you were having an ectopic you would most likely be in extreme pain. My coworker had an ectopic and didn’t even know she was pregnant yet, was only just due for her period and had such intense pain she immediately had to go to the hospital.
So rest easy, it’s probably not an ectopic. When I had my chemical pregnancy; I never got positives this dark before I started bleeding so it’s probably not that either.
So just stop taking home tests; your results are very dark and promising, and just see your doctor to confirm pregnancy.
And congratulations!
