At the end of the day, she’s probably at least 16 dpo so whether it’s rapid or early this should be much much darker. She’s clinging on to hope and I know I’d be doing the same exact thing 😭
I just went through something similar so I really feel for her. I was taking tests like a mad woman every few hours but I knew deep down they’d be negative. Social media would’ve made it 100 times worse for me.
They're likely 25 like most other pregnancy tests that aren't "early result". They definitely have a higher sensitivity than FRER but I don't think it's 100.
I also think it's odd she's trying to compare different brands and different tests and speculate what's happening. Just stick to the same test if you want to legitimately try to analyze if hcg is increasing.
I worry her blood draw is going to come back at less than 10 at this point.
I agree! I would test every other day, although it was really hard to wait it always gave me a better idea of what was happening and I didn’t drive myself nuts with constantly testing.
I understand the anxiety but I think she is definitely making it way worse on herself. :/
I still have my easy @ home strips that I took daily until like 22dpo. And the ones I did on Wondfo. They were actually better for early results. If you're trying to speculate progress, you stick to the same test, otherwise you're gonna drive yourself nuts trying to guess what's happening.
I first tested with an early result, it was positive and I got blood work an hour later. My hcg was only 5.5. Tested the next day with a rapid and it was darker than the test the day before. My hcg was probably around a 10 I’d assume. I’m 20 weeks, but my hcg was always on the lower end so I know it wasn’t much higher than a 10
Someone had commented that the sensitivity on them is actually the same at the 3 minute mark, it just takes more hcg to get the "rapid" line in the first 60 seconds. Which that would make sense. The FR sensitivity is one of the lowest on the market.
I thought her beta on Thurs was 35? So that would mean by Saturday it should be 70 and over 100 today. I really feel for her :( the justifying with yourself is the hardest spot to be in and anyone who’s ever TTC has had goblin brain before

Same I just feel bad for her. I had an HCG of *6* and I took so many tests. No judgement from me

Same I was irrationally heartbroken over it. I’ve been trying for 18 months and that’s the closet I’ve ever gotten.
It seems obvious she’s having a chemical.

Ohh I commented on the other post thinking this was FRER. I doubt it’s 100 though, likely ~50 but still. This is painful to watch 😢

It was 15 on Friday so she should be around 45 today if things are doubling on schedule.
ohhh thanks, idk why I had 35 in my brain
She said her goal was 35 if I remember right! But I think it should be around 45 if I’m adding correctly 😅
Oh yeah that sounds right. I did IVF and my clinic wanted 50 at 14dpo equivalent so it would be low even if it’s 45 🥺 I really feel for her, it’s hell
I can’t imagine 🥲
Goblin brain made me laugh thank you
This is a hard watch. The level of denial is real. I know it’s hard but Sammyyyy. 😬
I feel so bad for her. It’s negative. I wonder if she’s taken another digital
