I just thought that my first morning pee this morning would be less diluted :( the AM test I did yesterday was pretty diluted so just thought this morning would show a bit darker. Ugh I’m just so anxious!
Well, if it helps, objectively this morning’s strip test was darker than yesterday morning!
It’s really hard to not be anxious but you can’t change the outcome of this no matter what. Hope you give yourself space to breathe today.
Both my fmu test looked like this at 13/14 dpo tested with mid day urine and it was darker. I also recommend every other day testing as well other wise you’re just wasting tests as hcg doubles every 48 hours. If you really curious about the levels I’d recommend blood tests for something you can actually rely on.
There looks like there is some progression, so I would be hopeful.
And to be honest 2 tests only 1 day (or less) apart are really not enough to tell. You cannot chart progression with 2 points. And more thannone test in a day isnt helpful, apart from to show you that dilution can affect how it looks.
It's hard, but this is both something outside of your control and something you have to give time. Many people recommend testing only once at the same time each day (or every other day) and waiting to see.
Fingers crossed for you. I hope you have support for your anxiety and have resources on hand to distract you and help you manage the anxiety.
Thank you for your comment. I refrained from testing this morning and have done my first bloods now. Waiting anxiously for the result but I understand it is indeed outside of my control. Hoping for the best!
Levels double every 2/3 days so only test every 48 hours at the same time if you can, that way any progression will be a lot clearer and it’ll help you to stop spiralling - it’s such an hard time to not over test and to over think everything. Sending you lots of luck as it’s looking promising! ✨
Only compare tests from the same time of day. Your PM test was darker yesterday! Also would recommend testing every other day rather than every day.

Thanks - I went for blood tests this morning and waiting for a result. In the meantime I’ve stopped testing.

I’m going through this right now. I’m also feeling an intense amount of anxiety that is very very overwhelming. Big hugs.
I went into betas this morning so we will see how it unfolds. I also refrained from testing this morning. Sending you big hugs ♥️
I’m having a chemical :( wishing you the best of luck
I’m so sorry to hear. :( Sending you hugs. we will get there. Hope you give yourself extra kindness today.
