I'm sorry stuck this is so unfair I'm praying for you and hoping for a different outcome x

 

[Oh_Clementine]

Big hugs.

We are all still holding an enormous amount of hope for you, even if yours has dwindled away.

 

[bettybee1]

[bella21]

praying for you

does that say 9pm? maybe it's because your pee is diluted. i'd test with smu and see what the outcome is. I still think it's too early to say a definite, lots can effect the strength of a line xxxx

 

[BeautifulD]

It's over. If not now, then very, very soon. I hate this. I can't believe that this is happening to me again.

Stucki there's no way that your levels would have dropped that quick. Please for your own sanity put the tests down

 

[Looloobelle]

Still hoping. Have evrything crossed that that test was a dud and your betas on Monday are sky high

 

[Foxybabyhg3]

Don't give up hope Stucki. Your cervix is full of blood vessels just now and anything inserted can give you a wee bleed or spotting. I had some blood at my internal scan at 7w for that very reason. It's so easy to aggravate it at this stage. And you're having prog pessaries aren't you? Don't worry about the darkness of the lines either. You're still pregnant.

 

[Jamandspoon]

There is NO WAY that you levels have dropped that fast during 1 day, that is due to diluted wee. Please do not give up hope, we haven't, testing more than once a day is causing you soo much worry, please step away from them now.. It's not going to be long before you get your betas back. Everything crossed for you and thinking of you xxx

 

[Fuchsia1412]

Really sorry that you're going through all this amazing amount of worry. Seriously hoping that everything could be okay...we will ALL be waiting on your appointment, I'll be adjusting my UK clock to see when you might have posted. This is all so so unfair.

I would love to believe you ladies about my pee being too diluted, but that's not happened yet. No matter when I was testing during the day I was still getting dark lines and then that crap. I think my brain is trying to protect my heart at this point because my tests are definitely lighter today and mixed with 50% water there is no change in the line....I was kind of hoping that the magical hook effect was doing this, but it's not

The line did darken up, but not enough to be as dark or darker than the control line, which it was 2 days ago.

I'm so sorry Stucki that you have this uncertainty Looking at today's tests, I think the water mix is actually darker and more consistently a line. I'm assuming you are not bleeding, which is a good sign. Are you getting your bloods redrawn today? If so, maybe they can tell you Friday's numbers when you go in? Hang in there sweetie, we are all rooting for you!!!

 

[stuckinoki]

Yes. I still have to go today for the redraw...and I still have to go to my appointment on Monday. I just know in my heart where this is all heading and I don't know how to deal with it.

I would think if it was actually the hook effect, that diluted with water line would be way darker, wouldn't it? I just don't think it's possible

And I'm so sorry for being so whiny girls....I just don't know what to do. DH doesn't understand and I cried myself to sleep last night because I'm so frustrated and angry at everything....

[ginny83]

maybe that was a dodgy test? Weird how yesterday's was so light and today's is dark again

Hopefully tomorrow will give you some more definite answers x

 

[comotion89]

back when I was briefly pregnant, my lines changed a lot ...I know it's not a frer but still you an see the test line was lighter but was still measuring 2-3...don't give up yet

Hey stuck. I'm still holding out for you Hun. This is what I just found online--



"4) Finally, the other reason for false negatives was only recently described and is referred to as the "variant hook effect." This is much more common than the hook effect. As pregnancy progresses, there are actually different variant forms of hCG that begin to appear in the urine. After about 5 weeks of pregnancy (i.e. 3 weeks after the expected period) concentrations of hCG beta core fragment are higher than all other forms of hCG. This is perfectly normal. Unfortunately, the concentration of hCG beta core fragment can saturate one of the antibodies used in the assay in certain pregnancy kits, and the other antibody doesn't recognize the beta core fragment. As a result, no sandwich forms and the test is read as a negative. The farther in pregnancy a woman is, the more likely that this false negative will occur. Similar to the hook effect, the variant hook effect can be confirmed if testing shows a positive result after diluting the sample."

So, it is possible at 5 weeks a long to have the hook effect and maybe your levels are just now starting to interfere with the test results?? I hope so. I REALLY hope so. I'm crossing my fingers, toes, eyes, ears, and you name it! Everything in me is hoping that this is the case for you!

 

[mimomma]

Stucki, I really don't know much about the hook effect. Looking at your tests from this morning, I still think they look great. Your numbers will give you the answer. Please don't feel like you are whiney. Everyone's heart aches for all you've been through and we want this so badly for you.
