I hate these test

Lindsey

Blood Levels have been really high. Highest I checked was 9800. That was on Saturday. Middle is darkest they have gotten when levels were 9800. Same day. Today on the bottom test is lighter. But control line is also lighter. So I’m confused. Please help. Getting blood drawn today hopefully.

Stop taking them. They’re a pass/fail type test, the color of the line means nothing. It’s an indication of the hormone, not the viability.

What are you confused about? A pregnancy test can only tell you if you are pregnant or not; your blood tests should be able to give you more reliable answers in terms viability, and how the pregnancy is progressing.

You’re welcome. It can be challenging to do; but try to take one day at a time and believe everything is okay unless proven otherwise.

Um what? Those tests are all positive. The darkness of them means absolutely nothing. No reason to be confused. At all.

The tests themselves don’t suck. Pregnancy tests can only pick up hcg up until a certain level. After they have reached peak on being able to pick up hcg they start to get lighter which causes a hook effect. So I am not sure what your problem is here.

I’ve had 2 miscarriages before this. I think it’s natural me to get scared.

Yeah, I agree. I’ve heard this happening to a lot of women too around this time so it gave me peace. Nothing seems concerning

You’re leaning on the wrong information. If you’re concerned about the viability of your pregnancy, blood tests are the way to go. HPTs tell you nothing about viability. They’re simply meant to be read positive or negative.

I’ve had a miscarriage, a healthy to term pregnancy, followed by another miscarriage so I understand why you’re scared, but all you can do is try to relax and go with the flow. The very nature of pregnancy is unpredictable. Fear is natural, but try not to let it overwhelm you. 🫶🏻
