Future, are you sure its not just the tests? Are you doing them a different way? Usually if the tests get lighter it would indicate dropping HCG, since that's what it measures. Mine are still darker than the control but I use FRERs...so I'm not sure about the ICs. Hope all is well for you!!!

 

[Nixilix]

if the hcg is very high then they start to get lighter. try mixing half wee half water then dipping again. Google the "hook effect"

 

[future hopes]

i been using them strip tests since i found out they started off light then got darker and darker but last week they are lighter they have been the same lightness for the last wk thaey havent got any lighter. i did try a clear blue one the one with the cross and the line which says ure pregnant was very dark on them tests but light on the strip ones but the positive line is still coming up b4 the control line but just lighter. xx

Tbh hun id stop testing as just causes more stress when the line is lighter can be all reasons for it not all bad xx

so just tested again with the strip test and line is much darker than it was this morning, because i had alot of urine i decided to do that test where u said add water( just for fun) and its came up dark to interesting.

Hey All,
I'm due 2/17/13 and super excited - this is my first pregnancy!

Anyone else due on the 27th? I'm curious about your symptoms? Mine were really bad week 6 and 7 but over the weekend, mine symptoms have started to subside. I only have nausea in the morning and it isn't bad - its more like I'm hungry. My boobs are sore off and on, huge, but not really sore. Should I be worried that my symptoms are starting to subside? Or is this just fortunate and I should count my blessings that I'm not sick?

Thanks
Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,

I'm due the 14th, I have lots of symptoms, sore bb's dark areolas, severe morning sickness (signed off work) soft cramping started at 8 weeks but its all perfectly normal i'm told, I am super senstive, I cry really easy! i cant drink tea or coffee have gone off allot of the foods I once loved, I have more cm that before (sorry tmi) but I do! and I have gone up a whole cup size

I think your fortunate and i'd be very happy if my sickness started to subside a little, I think every pregnancy is differant, maybe those who have sickness sooner it leaves sooner, everythng is perfect I am sure! H&H pregnancy x

Hi there. Welcome and congrats! Wishing you a very H&H 8 months! My symptoms come and go and I asked here as well as did some research on it and it seems like that is normal. Plus still having nausea in the morning and huge boobs are definitely strong symptoms. Try to enjoy it as much as you can!

 

[MD1223]

So . . . I have my first appt and scan tomorrow. Excited and nervous! Can't wait! Taking the DH.

Dull ache in pelvic region at 6 weeks normal or not?

yes, and you can expect a slight "stretching" at 8 weeks, us in tune with our bodys feel EVERYTHING and i know how alarming it can be, but all of the books warn of the 8 weeks streatching feeling xx

 

[JustaTrace]

I don't know if I should read here anymore..you guys make me so nervous!! And this is my 3rd pregnancy!! LOL...

I have my ultrasound this Friday and I am hoping this week goes so fast. I can't wait to see what's up in there.

I still have a lot of nausea and have to take a nap every day because I am exhausted. I am also thinking of signing off work early because I just feel so sick. I feel hungry all the time and every time I try to exercise I just get even more sick. During my pregnancy with my son, I had similar symptoms but continued to work out, commute 4 hours a day and work every day although I was feeling so sick. I still ended up gaining 50 lbs and delivering 8 weeks early. So this pregnancy I am trying to eat in smaller portions and just rest when my body tells me to.

I have a scan tomorrow....really excited!

I'm only6.5 weeks though? Is it possible to feel it earlyer? And do you mean 6 weeks from conception or 8 weeks from last af? As keep getting confused?

I am getting more stretching sensations this week than week 5, I had a lot of cramping early on and just before my BFP.

With my daughter I also remember week 6 being a very crampy week

 

[MD1223]

Does anyone else have an achy back? It just started this afternoon and feels sort of dull.

 

[yellow11]

Yup, been getting it on and off for about 2 weeks now. Xx
