@thyrodandstaff At 19dpo it is possible, but less likely, that you are having a variant hook effect. This is where the test gives the correct result (positive or negative), but the test line darkness doesn’t correspond to hcg level (it gets lighter as hcg gets higher). You can identify this by...

@yommie It is impossible to tell what your hcg was doing at that time for your other pregnancies. It could have been coming down by the time you got those draws. It could have started strong and then limped along. So no conclusion can be drawn comparing them. You can take heart that this is a...

@greymon I’m so sorry, Momo. I hope you have a fast resolution to this process, and a speedy recovery. 🫂♥️

@greymon Best of luck 🤞🏼 I know this week will drag on and on, but soon you will know 🫂 When did you test positive?

@greymon Momo, I saw your ultrasound update last week. Have you had your follow up? Sending good thoughts your way. ♥️

@greymon This is wonderful!!! The success stories I have seen when betas go sideways, they tend to recover the next draw. I would take heart that your doubling recovered so well, assuming the draws were no more than 4 days apart (as hcg slows down again naturally at 6,000) 🫂

@greymon I’m going against the grain here. That is a 129 hour doubling time, with 72-96hrs being the large majority of viable pregnancies at this level. It generally doesn’t slow down so much until after 6,000. I really hope it turns out well, but this was almost exactly like my blighted ovum...

@wael She could easily have gotten a negative test on 3/29 had the sperm waiting from 3/27 to fertilize the egg that she ovulated that day that would put her at 11 DPO today so it’s completely possible. She could even have ovulated prior to getting negative tests, as ovulation can happen up to...

@ghillie Any update on the test front? I’m so eager for you!

@ghillie I think this is probably a new pregnancy, but hard to say for sure because you were using easy at home and then switched to FRER, so the different sensitivities could explain positive now, but negative a week ago. Seems like a stretch, though . You had consistent negative tests, and...
