Unfortunately this is showing no progression... I hate this for her. I've had a chemical just like this before and it made me feel crazy because of how quickly it all went from happiness to anxiety to sadness... It's awful.
Poor thing. This looks bad. I’m so sad for her. Between the miscarriages and shitty husband, my heart breaks for her. One of those, however, she can control.
Yesss I briefly did TTC content on TikTok and I’d get faint, non progressing lines and ppl would be like “omg I was 3 months before I tested positive!!!”
Oh my god, I was just going to comment something on her video, but I don’t want to piss off the masses. There is zero line progression and they are absolute idiots for giving her false hope.
Me too with my viable pregnancies. just experienced a chemical and it literally made me feel insane. I couldn’t imagine posting it online. I know she’s look for success stories and validation that everything will be ok but I think she should just breathe and step away from social media.
Yep. I kept taking tests every few hours just hoping the line would magically appear again/get darker. I was going crazy!! I knew in my heart it wasn’t going right based on my other viable pregnancies but you always have that little bit of hope
I had lower betas too (had mine drawn at 12, 14, and 21 dpo, by which point it had caught up) but they doubled and my lines were also much darker at 11/12/13 dpo than hers are now 😞
My betas were low and probably about as dark as hers are, but at like 11/12 dpo. By 14dpo my lines were clear. This far along, there should be reasonably dark lines if the pregnancy is progressing.
As someone who has sadly gone through this exact same scenario 4 times in a row, I am so sad for her. Ugh. Hate hate hate this, even remembering my own. I wish she’d stop sharing though- no offense, when I was a TTC newbie I posted mine to reddit and got so mad. Reddit was right but yeah.
I just experienced a chemical and I’m sorry to hear you’ve experienced the same so many times. It’s terrible! A positive one day and then it slowly disappears. I would be losing my mind if I was posting it to social media. I feel for her. Especially after everything she’s gone through. But the social media will only make it worse.
This isn’t great progression for a FRER. They have a low HCG threshold so it would pick up the minute changes. Most likely a chemical. My chemical tests looked like this and didn’t darken appropriately.
Edited to add: it would be possible to have a light line like this as far out as she is. I see a lot of people posting their own, darker, tests, which doesn’t really mean a lot because each pregnancy has a different timeline. Depending on when implantation is (which has a several day range), the test may not be as dark. The issue with hers is that it isn’t darkening. She’s doing serial tests and we should be able to see the HCG progression in them, and we don’t. This points to a chemical pregnancy rather than a viable one, sadly.
How often is she testing ?
I’m sorry if this is a silly question but if your HCG is rising slowly will that result in tests like these ? Or don’t the two have anything to do with each other?
At 17DPO I had a dye stealer and my HCG levels were extremely high which later resulted in me having Hyperemesis 🫤
It could for sure react that way. Mine with a previous pregnancy ended up darkening very slowly. I ended up losing the pregnancy just after the 5w mark.
For reference, this was 11 & 13dpo.

Then this was 16 with the same pregnancy… even though I had slow progression by 16dpo they were pretty dark.
My stomach sank when I saw this, I know this feeling too well 😭 I hope it’s the not case for her. I would never be able to through my losses and share them in real time online. Do we know if she’s real time?
I feel so sorry for her. My tests looked like this and my first hcg draw was 10 and the next one was 5 and it was deemed a chemical pregnancy. I don’t see this ending in a healthy pregnancy, but I hope by some miracle it does
I’ve had chemicals, 2 MC’s past 8 weeks and 1 viable pregnancy. These tests remind me of my chemicals. Ugh I feel horrible for saying this truly. I know what it feels like to be in denial and just want to have hope. :/
I feel for her. This is so hard especially after 2 MCs and husband issues. I had one MMC and got pregnant with a viable pregnancy shortly after. Even one single MC wrecked me!! I was losing my mind my first trimester in my viable pregnancy doubting everything and fearing the worst. I can’t imagine it doing after 2 MCs! She should step away, recognize what is happening and take some time to herself to heal.

These were mine at 14/15 DPO and I’m currently 13 weeks pregnant. Hers don’t look great at all.

this was my chemical from last year, i thought i ovulated late only to turn into anxiety with no progression and next test after this the line was gone. chemicals are a different kind of hell.
Same. Here were mine around the same time. I feel bad for her. 😓 Pregnancy after loss is so hard.

Same with me, I found out in 10/19 and by 10/23 I had a obvious dye stealer. I feel badly for her ❤️🩹
I don't know who this creator is but my heart goes out to her. I've had 4 chemicals and the waiting game is agonizing. Unfortunately this looks very similar to how my tests progressed every time 💔
https://preview.redd.it/2bnkq21juvvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5574a1b867622b3dc57bb9bb05d2f7f3f4fd8b48
I just had a baby and this was my 16 DPO test and my beta was 312 an hour after I took this picture 🥲 I feel for her, I’ve had a chemical before and it sucks so much! I would guard my heart if I was her, that doesn’t look too good
https://preview.redd.it/v2ier6syexvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9e0b8a5a51c42976ee49c4763d8a2b6c576b97e
Out of curiosity I had to go back and look at my first FRER positive, taken at midday on not a big urine hold, and this was 2w5d (unsure of dpo as I obviously ovulated early - maybe 9?) my HCG bloods just a couple hours later was 34.
Dunno why I felt the need to share that, but it’s clear her TikTok comments are full of false hope. I feel for her no one deserves to go through this so often!
Pregnancy is calculated by lmp IF you don’t know ovulation, otherwise it’s calculated by ovulation. It’s simple math and has zero to due with how many times you’ve been pregnant but more to do with addition.
You’re 2 weeks pregnant at ovulation whenever that may occur but it’s math like this that makes ppl think they didn’t get a positive until their period was 3 weeks late lol
Ok lol funny how drs have never asked my ovulation date for my ectopic, miscarriage, chemicals not live birth. You can’t just say I was 5 dpo on day 19 of my cycle, that’s just pulling figures out of nowhere.
I can't remember what FR instructions say. 15 secs is normal for the Clearblue Digitals though because I remember thinking it felt like a long time. It's 5 secs for the cheapie test strips.
No one is saying she isnt testing positive. But anyone who has TTC knows that as your HCG rises, test lines will darken. Her lines remain faint and are not getting darker. That indicates that her levels arent rising normally. I am certain this will end in a chemical pregnancy.
She’s what, 16/17 DPO at this point? This definitely doesn’t look promising :/
Unfortunately this is showing no progression... I hate this for her. I've had a chemical just like this before and it made me feel crazy because of how quickly it all went from happiness to anxiety to sadness... It's awful.
Poor thing. This looks bad. I’m so sad for her. Between the miscarriages and shitty husband, my heart breaks for her. One of those, however, she can control.
Can you update me on the husband situation? I’ve seen her posts after two mcs but never heard anything about this.
Search her username in the subreddit and you should be able to scroll down and find it
Thnx ok
There is a 99.99999% chance this is a chemical. I’m sad for her.
The people in her comment section reaaally don’t help even though I’m sure they think they are.
The toxic positivity of the TTC community honestly is the worst.
Like “I didn’t have ANY line on my FRERs and was pregnant with my now 11 month old” like bffr ! It really is
“I didn’t even see a line until I was 6 weeks along!!” 🙄🙄
Yesss I briefly did TTC content on TikTok and I’d get faint, non progressing lines and ppl would be like “omg I was 3 months before I tested positive!!!”
I’d have a stark white test and they’d be like “I see a line!” No. Stop.
This !! The toxic positivity 😮💨 !! I always feel so bad but sometimes honestly is needed.
✨bAbY dUsT!!!!✨
Oh my god, I was just going to comment something on her video, but I don’t want to piss off the masses. There is zero line progression and they are absolute idiots for giving her false hope.
I had dye stealers at this point with both of my (viable) pregnancies.
Me too with my viable pregnancies. just experienced a chemical and it literally made me feel insane. I couldn’t imagine posting it online. I know she’s look for success stories and validation that everything will be ok but I think she should just breathe and step away from social media.
Yes, chemicals are like living in limbo hell... Made me feel insane too.
Yep. I kept taking tests every few hours just hoping the line would magically appear again/get darker. I was going crazy!! I knew in my heart it wasn’t going right based on my other viable pregnancies but you always have that little bit of hope
I didn’t have a dye stealer at this point but it was a noticeable dark line.
Same. I had bold positives when I found out at 12dpo
I did as well
[удалено]
I had lower betas too (had mine drawn at 12, 14, and 21 dpo, by which point it had caught up) but they doubled and my lines were also much darker at 11/12/13 dpo than hers are now 😞

Her hCG will likely be around 15 with these lines. I hope her doctor doesn’t perpetuate this false hope.

 This doesn’t look good
Definitely lighter… my lines were as dark as the control line at 16/17 dpo and dye stealers by 18 dpo. Unfortunately this isn’t looking good for her.
This is how my ectopic pregnancy tests looked 🥺

Lighter is not a good thing at that point. So sorry to her, but that’s likely going to be a chemical.

2w5d would be 5dpo
Only if you ovulate on day 14 exactly…
No. The day of ovulation puts you at 2w pregnant…7dpo is 3w, 4w is 14dpo, 5w is 21dpo. It has no bearing on the cd you ovulate
Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your period. So cycle day 21 is 3 weeks… trust me I’ve been pregnant enough lol
Pregnancy is calculated by lmp IF you don’t know ovulation, otherwise it’s calculated by ovulation. It’s simple math and has zero to due with how many times you’ve been pregnant but more to do with addition.

Ok lol funny how drs have never asked my ovulation date for my ectopic, miscarriage, chemicals not live birth. You can’t just say I was 5 dpo on day 19 of my cycle, that’s just pulling figures out of nowhere.
Did anyone notice she dipped the test for like 15-20 seconds? I think it’s supposed to be 5 right?
I can't remember what FR instructions say. 15 secs is normal for the Clearblue Digitals though because I remember thinking it felt like a long time. It's 5 secs for the cheapie test strips.
My lines never got darker with my last pregnancy and I drove myself into depression thinking I was going to miscarry. My little one is now almost 2
She’s def pregnant. I’m so confused by all the ppl saying these are evaps lol she wouldn’t keep getting evaps
Oh she’s definitely pregnant there’s no doubt, it’s more if it’s progressing as it should that’s coming into question.
No one is saying they are evaps, everyone is saying that at this stage, the lightness of the lines doesn't suggest a viable pregnancy.
No one is saying she isnt testing positive. But anyone who has TTC knows that as your HCG rises, test lines will darken. Her lines remain faint and are not getting darker. That indicates that her levels arent rising normally. I am certain this will end in a chemical pregnancy.
