I was confirmed with blood on Monday but now I'm concerned something is going on...how is FRER still negative but a digital positive?

Question

Answer

Amazon cheapies take a long time to get dark

Answer

It's probably just a faulty FRER. If your bloods confirmed it, and a digital which requires high levels of HCG, you're definitely pregnant.

Answer

Stop testing. You've confirmed with bloods & the stress caused by constant testing raises your cortisol levels which is harmful to baby. I repeat, stop testing!!

Answer

Stop testing!

Answer

I just wanted to let you know the Amazon cheapies take a while to get dark. I found out EARLY and I'm now 5wks, but ive been testing to see when they get really dark. Mine didn't start getting dark until my levels passed 360. My levels are probably somewhere around 3,000 or so now and the test line is darker than the control. Don't sweat it.

Answer

Would you mind sharing the batch number of the FRERs? I have seen a couple of posts this morning with negative FRERs and positive digital tests. Hoping to compare batch numbers and see if there is a bad batch floating around out there. If so I would like to be able to make a PSA for the TTC group about it.

Answer

Hou can ask your doctor for a repeat beta if it'll ease your worry. That way you'll know hCG is doubling even though tests aren't showing it. At this point I would say home testing is causing you more anxiety so maybe it's time to stop. That's how I decided when to stop testing for progression with my rainbow baby. At some point the tests stressed me out more than not testing did.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
