First Signal faint positive?

[Curlymikes]

Kim, thanks for inviting me to the other thread. I feel a little wierd joining a ttc group knowing im already pregnant. I thought i would post my pic from today at 11dpo. I think we are progressing about the same. And ive been having cramping too, not tons but some.

 

[Curlymikes]

Im hoping my test looks like yours tomorrow!

Curly, I understand what you're saying. Have you started a thread? If you have, I'll go join you. I don't mind keeping you company. The cramps were really bad yesterday and the day before. I don't usually get bad af cramps so I guess that's why I'm so paranoid about it. Today though I have only had one sharp pain for a split second and now I'm worried about not having the cramps anymore! Lol! I guess I can't make up my mind haha

Your test looks great and just like mine at 11dpo!

I was really busy today so I'm going to post this mornings test and tonight's 10:30 progression pic at the same time.

Kim,

We should start a thread! I will make one for us and hopefully we can get some other ladies due in early February.

I dont normally get cramping with af either! Today ive definitely had some cramping. Its more like on my sides. (More seems on left side).

Im excited to see your next tests!

First signal bottom 13dpo am top pm. Ic's bottom am top pm.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Curly, OK cool. Let me know when you have made it and I'll go look for it.

 

[Curlymikes]

I feel like im hijacking your thread, but could you give me an opinion on this test from today. To me it looks about the same maybe a hair darker if i convince myself. My wondfo actually looked a hair lighter today.

 

[happycupcake]

Kim, lovely lines! Your tests are coming along so nicely

Curly, I put your tests together to compare, the most recent test looks a little darker and wider. I think progression can sometimes be a little less obvious when testing each day, because hCG can take up to three days to double so sometimes they look similar, but it doesn't mean things aren't progressing. Your lines look fab to me
Top is from the 28th, the other is the 29th

 

[Curlymikes]

Thanks do much happycupcake! It intrresting because the bottom tests both the control and test line are wider. The top one the control line is darker. I do think todays is a very tiny bit darker and im pretty sure my urine was less concentrated today. So im hoping that tomorrow i will have a good line, i also plan to call and try to get a blood test.

 

[happycupcake]

All tests seem to vary with their lines, both in width and dye so I wouldn't worry about it. It definitely does look darker, and you are right about the difference in the control lines too. They are fab lines

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Curly, I agree with Happycupcake. Your lines look great to me! I couldn't figure out how to put them side by side but I kept going back and looking and I thought the new one was darker and wider too. I think your tests are progressing nicely!

I forgot to test this morning because dh was rushing me 😣 so I'll test in a while. Oh and as far as the wandfos go, I have Pregmate ic's. The test line is lighter on last nights test than yesterday mornings test. I think it's because they are from two different batch of tests. The bottom one is from the ones I've been getting great lines but I ran out of those so I opened the new batch and the test line was still obvious but a little lighter than the previous test.

Could also be diluted pee if you drank quite a bit

 

[Curlymikes]

Thanks ladies! Youre making me feel better! I have had lots of chemicals so this all freaks me out. Early pregnancy anxiety is real!

 

[Curlymikes]

Oh cant wait for your next test! Your tests have been my goal! I know its crazy but yours seem to be progressing so good! But my 12dpo doesnt seem as good as yours.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I agree again, Happycupcake 😊 . Curly, I don't think you are giving yourself enough credit. I just showed dh your 12dpo test and my 12dpo morning test picture (with it wet because it always dries darker) and he picked yours to be the darker one. I thought the same thing and asked him just to be sure. You know it's got to be true if a man says the line is darker because they tend to never see the faint line or slightest progression lol! I think your lines are plenty dark enough for 12dpo and believe this one will stick with you! I really don't mind you posting your pics on this thread at all. I wouldn't nessicarily use my tests as a goal though (but thank you! &#128522 there are plenty of reasons why yours may not be as dark as mine and vise versa. The dye in the tests, the concentration of the urine, the rate of how quickly either of our hcg hormone levels rise. There's several things at play here. I'm flattered though 😊 I also have the first tri anxiety and really really hope these babies stick for the both of us!

 

[happycupcake]

Kim is right, Curly. Every single word.
You are both anxious which is natural especially in the first tri, but if it's estimated a quarter of all pregnancies end in mc, that means that three quarters of them don't! Which is good, and means that your LOs have a MUCH better chance of being healthy and perfectly fine, than the opposite.
Pregnancy itself is a miracle because the chances are so slim, 60% don't implant and you only have a 33% chance of actually getting pregnant in any given cycle, so to have come this far, with these beautifully strong lines, is amazing and to me that makes me feel positive that these tiny little babies want to cling on.

My lines with my eldest and youngest sons weren't as dark as these, especially my eldest

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Thank you, Happycupcake! I think you're right. It's a true blessing to have gotten pregnant because I know the chances, like you said, aren't that great each cycle. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable with believing that I'm actually pregnant and this baby is going to stick with me. ❤ I just did a 14dpo test so I'm waiting for the dye to settle then I'll post it. 😊😊

Happycupcake, I can't wait for you to join us! ❤

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Today's 14dpo test. Not exactly morning more like late morning/early evening since its 1pm already 😱where has the day gone?!

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I guess it decided not to post the picture here it is.. I hope

 

[Curlymikes]

You are both so kind! I really hope this all works out too! It would be fun to do our whole pregnancies together! I agree it is definitely a miracle and i feel like an extra one for those of us with losses.

Your test is so great! How long after you take the test did you take the pic. I have been trying to look at mine at the same time frame. These get darker as the sit, its like they take 20 minutes to fully develop. My wondfos too.
