Hi everyone. My first hcg draw at 4w4d was 387 (low end of normal). At 5w it dropped to 217. At 5w4d (yesterday)I had some spotting so I went to the dr (this is when I got the results of the second draw). She said to go for another blood test in a week to be sure levels were going all the way down. I had a few pregnancy tests left so I figured I would test to watch the decrease. Both yesterday and today my tests were darker than ever. Bleeding has continued but is not heavy at all (less than a period). Called NP she said not to be concerned, lines don't tell the whole story. But I am concerned. And confused. Why would they be darker if my hcg had already dropped. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
