Someone else MUST feel like this !

About progression pics and testing , I just feel like it's SO irrelevant.
I had amazing progression after getting my BFP at 10 DPO.. My lines got so dark so quickly . And it all means NOTHING because I still miscarried at 8 weeks!

Does anyone else feel pessemestic when you see progression pics or blood level results ?
I know when I get my next BFP I'll definitely want to test again if it isn't a dark line right away, but I also know that it really has absolutely nothing to do with guaranteeing a healthy pregnancy .

I'm so sorry for your loss . I think the progression pics are good at telling whether we have a sticky bean, but a miscarriage later on doesn't mean the embryo didn't implant well. So a good progression doesn't mean things are safe, which totally sucks. I totally get that feeling of frustration because the lines are so dark, so it feels like that means everything is going as they should.

I've only had the one bfp so far, so I'm sure I'll feel a bit uneasy the next time it happens. Hoping that next time happens soon! I'm still waiting to O this cycle. Thinking it will be in a few days.

Sorry for your loss as well

It just seemed so crazy because I did progression pics with my early losses and they got fainter and fainter , tell tale sign of chemicals.
Then with this past miscarriage my lines were awesome so it gave me false reassurance .
I'm in my TWW and I'm going to try to test when my period is due and not test again just wait and see what happens!

Oh yea I know that feeling. With my second Angel bay the lines I got were so dark. But it meant nothing as I lost that one too. I was convinced all would be ok. Very frustrating indeed.
Sorry for your loss

I understand. It gives reassurance but the reassurance is always short lived anyways. My pregnancy losses were 15 and 18 weeks, so the tests really aren't an indication of outcome- but you can bet that next time I'm pregnant I will end up being a poas addict again 😁

So sorry for both of your losses its all so heartbreaking.
Haha you prob will be a huge POAS addict. I was actually good last cycle and didn't test. Trying my hardest to keep it up 😆

I am so sorry for your losses. I feel the same way, this cycle I am not progression testing like I did with my last two losses. This time I am waiting to test until AF is late and then if I get a light positive I am not testing again for another week. I honestly don't think that I will believe a pregnancy is fine until I am holding my baby in my arms.

I agree.. it's pointless in the end. I did the progression the first time around and it didn't even matter.

My doc said to avoid stress, do one test then do no more. That's really good advice. I think I will do that.

Sorry for your losses. I agree, progression doesn't mean a good outcome, unfortunately. I got a 3+ on a Clearblue digital at exactly 3 weeks with my MMC. I even had an early scan, which showed baby had a heartbeat at 6+1 but baby still only made it to 9+5 weeks (MMC at nearly 12 weeks).

If I'm lucky enough to conceive again I will be a nervous wreck!
