Hello ladies,

I'm feeling a litle worried today, I did a test and the line seems to have come out fainter than it was a week ago... does this mean what I think it might, that I'm going to have another miscarriage...???

I'm so scared right now....!

There's probably just less dye in the test sweetie - please stop POASing! Also you're 9 weeks now and IIRC I read somewhere that hcg is tricky to measure the further along you get. Progesterone from the placenta is what's doing the baby-growing work now. Separately I read that once your hcg gets over a certain limit, HPTs start giving false negatives because they can't handle the high concentration!

9 weeks is far, far too late to be POASing it is completely unreliable

I was also going to write this! That once you get to a certain point, the HcG is like an overload for the hpt and it can't handle it lol! But Tulip put it far better than I did...

Don't worry hun i'm sure everything will be fine Not that i can really talk, because today i started a thread in the test gallery asking if my lines look darker this morning from 2 days ago lol... i think i'm obsessed....

[Vickieh1981]

Was going to post exactly what tulip did. It's not reliable at this stage. I am a total poas-aholic but I have stopped now because I know it'll freak me out

 

[Tulip]

Never never never test beyond 6 weeks is my motto. How are you feeling now Susan? Really, don't think anything of it honey.

Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend xxx

YEY So excited for you . x

 

[Beadette]

Thank you girls xxx

 

[EpdTTC]

Yay! Beadette!

Chimpette-I concur with all of these ladies. I also read that once you get to a certain point that hcg actually starts to go down, so really, walk away from the HPTs! They will only drive you insane. If you are concerned I would suggest going for a blood test for reassurance.

 

[Tulip]

So Neen are you due on my birthday or what? I'm so excited! I know youre crapping your pants but we have a group outlook of Cautious Positivity in here xxxxx

Wishing everyone a happy and productive Monday. I already know my team is down to 1/3 strength today. Thankfully my twinnie Sian will be holding the fort with me.

[Rainbowpea]

[Beadette]

Think I'm due on the 15th April nic. Well based on LMP I am! But i'mnot really thinking that far ahead yet. The next 8 weeks willbe the hardest! Xxxx

 

[Vickieh1981]

Yay welcome beadette! X scan tomorrow for me agggh! Why am I stressing about it already?!

Because that's how scans make us feel when we have lost a baby.

I am already dreading my next one as it's been 3 days since my last now.
