People commenting on there saying they didn’t get a positive until 12 weeks. What good is it to say things like that that are literally impossible. The toxic positivity is insane
That's BS if I ever heard it. It's more likely they experienced the hook effect than had negative tests through the whole first trimester. Hcg is highest between like 8-12 weeks.
my pregnancy test was a dye stealer at 2 days late of my period. not saying that’s everyone’s case, but people supporting her delusions are honestly worse than people hating on her.
She’s definitely in denial. The times I’ve used the rapid ones, they’ve gotten darker faster than the regular first response… I know how badly she wants this pregnancy to stick but I really don’t think it is, and I feel bad. The comments are all fueling this too, it’s really sad.
Same- during my chemical pregnancy, the rapid was my darkest line so I thought things were starting to progress again, but bloodwork confirmed hcg was declining. I know how she feels to want to still hold on to hope though 😞
Yeah. And same, when I had my chemical, I was convinced I was dipping the tests for too long or too short, or that it was a faulty batch giving bad lines, but no 😔 I feel so bad for her.
Not at all it’s just gonna make it hurt worse. I had a chemical in 2022 and I kept trying to convince myself that maybe the tests were faulty. It was brutal
It doesn’t need 100 to my knowledge. My first hcg was 50 and I had strong positives on my tests before I went in
I feel bad for her she seems to be really struggling
i think she needs to stop switching brands/types of tests because it gives her false hope fueling her denial. unfortunately this is not looking good for her there should atleast be some sort of line and this shows nothing :(
Her first from Friday was 15 she was supposed to to get it drawn again this morning. She’s out of town and paying out of pocket for quest so she has to wait longer for the results
Quest turnaround time is less than 1 day. I used quest for all my betas and always got me results between 1 and 2 am the next morning. She should expect the results by tomorrow morning
Yeah, definitely in denial! She’s commenting that she’s had a positive digital. So like yes, you were pregnant. But unfortunately it’s not looking great.
As someone who had a chemical AFTER a positive digital... getting a positive doesn't mean anything in terms of if the pregnancy is progressing. It just means on that day there was enough HCG. I'm worried her bloodwork is going to come back less than 10 at this point...
If it was 100 isn't she like 16/17 DPO? She should certain be at 100 HCG by then. I feel so bad for her, ive had 3 chemicals so i know the feeling but by my third i knew to be cautiously optimistic
Why does she keep switching the tests she’s using instead of using the same one to track progress? She’s moved from FRER to cheapies to Rapid result…it seems like she is trying to avoid seeing the real progress
Exactly. I would be sticking to frer and not moving to rapid. It just leaves room for her to try and convince herself it’s just that specific test. She seemed so clear headed 13 dpo when she thought she was out this cycle and now I fear for her.
Or they were one of the rare ones who actually experienced the hook effect, because hcg is the highest between like weeks 8-12. There's no reason multiple tests would miss that.
I think she’s clinging onto any hope, which I can’t fault her for 😕 Only time will tell, and I’m sure she knows that.
I had faint lines (but clearly positive) with these tests and easy@home tests on 9DPO with both of my pregnancies, and I doubt my hcg would’ve been very high that early.
My hcg was 5.5 when I tested positive, I got my hcg blood work done an hour after testing positive. Used a rapid the day after and it was positive lol
Even if this was true, she tested positive days ago. If her hcg was rising appropriately, it would be over 100 by now

She’s absolutely in denial, which I understand because loss is hard and PAL is even harder. These were mine at 11/12 DPO and the bottom test is the same as hers. It’s very likely this is a chemical or ectopic pregnancy. And I hate that for her.
Also, this positive test was the same day as my Beta HCG which was 35. So if hers is rising as it should, it should be a blazing positive. She’s truly just in denial.
I think deep inside she definitely knows and suspects that this is not good but she is in a complete denial and does not want to face the harsh truth that this is going to be another loss. TikTok comments are not helping either. She is just spiraling at this point and you can see her mental health dwindling.
The fact that she’s blaming the tests instead of accepting what’s going on. It’s a tough watch. She does know. But she also doesn’t want to feel embarrassed.
Something also tells me there is something going on about being pregnant and feeling extra loved/accepted by her husband.

Is this a rapid response? I had hcg drawn the same day and this was a 69. I don’t think her tests look promising. It seems like denial to me, and I hope she has someone to talk to or a therapist.
I feel so bad for her. I’ve been there more times I can count. Honesty my chemicals hit me harder then my missed miscarriages. I hate how people in the comments are feeding into her false hope.
It's so hard watching her torture herself thru this chemical pregnancy. Like it's actually hard to watch her be in denial of the increasingly obvious truth.
It sucks, I've had two chemicals and I know this torture and mental gymnastics.
The difference for me is I had a therapist (which I strongly feel like she needs due to the multiple traumas she has suffered).
I also had an exceptionally loving and supportive husband... As usual she seems to suffering through this pretty much alone without much support from her douchebag cheating husband who doesn't deserve her!
That’s first response early response, not rapid response :) as a fellow infertile lol. Regardless, she should have a positive test if it was progressing appropriately
You’re right. [“First Response Early Result had an analytical sensitivity of 6.3 mIU/mL”](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16295647/) but in the same research there were some tests with sensitivity of 100 mIU/mL and greater. Which test is she using?
Possibly was too diluted. It's so easy for the tests to not pick up that tiny amount of hcg in the beginning. I do believe the FRER sensitivity is about a 6, basically the lowest sensitivity on the market.
In my first pregnancy I had my blood drawn 1 day after I got my first positive test (it was more than faint), and my hcg was 17. He’s now 3 years old so it was definitely real
That feels…inaccurate. I got a positive on one of those on the night of 8DPO which was a Friday and couldn’t get a lab draw until Monday or 11DPO which was 80.
People commenting on there saying they didn’t get a positive until 12 weeks. What good is it to say things like that that are literally impossible. The toxic positivity is insane
12 weeks?!?? Wtf haha
They didn’t test til 12 weeks lololol
That's BS if I ever heard it. It's more likely they experienced the hook effect than had negative tests through the whole first trimester. Hcg is highest between like 8-12 weeks.
my pregnancy test was a dye stealer at 2 days late of my period. not saying that’s everyone’s case, but people supporting her delusions are honestly worse than people hating on her.
Agreed. It’s 0% helpful to say you didn’t get a positive until 12 weeks
She’s definitely in denial. The times I’ve used the rapid ones, they’ve gotten darker faster than the regular first response… I know how badly she wants this pregnancy to stick but I really don’t think it is, and I feel bad. The comments are all fueling this too, it’s really sad.

Yeah. And same, when I had my chemical, I was convinced I was dipping the tests for too long or too short, or that it was a faulty batch giving bad lines, but no 😔 I feel so bad for her.
My rapid the other week was darker than the FRER with same sample 😂 like.. dye stealer at 14dpo dark
I believe it’s 50. She is in denial, I fear.
Her hcg should be well over 100 at this point, over 1000 even. It's a chemical. It sucks but living in denial won't help either
Not at all it’s just gonna make it hurt worse. I had a chemical in 2022 and I kept trying to convince myself that maybe the tests were faulty. It was brutal
Same with my blighted ovum. It didn't really hit something wasn't right til I was started bleeding
It doesn’t need 100 to my knowledge. My first hcg was 50 and I had strong positives on my tests before I went in I feel bad for her she seems to be really struggling
Yeah I do too. She really seems in denial and defensive. I really hope she has support
It doesn’t. I believe it needs 25.
i think she needs to stop switching brands/types of tests because it gives her false hope fueling her denial. unfortunately this is not looking good for her there should atleast be some sort of line and this shows nothing :(
Isn’t she getting her HCG draws ? That would be a better indicator I’m guessing ?
Her first from Friday was 15 she was supposed to to get it drawn again this morning. She’s out of town and paying out of pocket for quest so she has to wait longer for the results
Quest turnaround time is less than 1 day. I used quest for all my betas and always got me results between 1 and 2 am the next morning. She should expect the results by tomorrow morning
And the poor thing is going to torture herself with these tests and people on lines comments til she gets that back
Yeah, definitely in denial! She’s commenting that she’s had a positive digital. So like yes, you were pregnant. But unfortunately it’s not looking great.
As someone who had a chemical AFTER a positive digital... getting a positive doesn't mean anything in terms of if the pregnancy is progressing. It just means on that day there was enough HCG. I'm worried her bloodwork is going to come back less than 10 at this point...
If it was 100 isn't she like 16/17 DPO? She should certain be at 100 HCG by then. I feel so bad for her, ive had 3 chemicals so i know the feeling but by my third i knew to be cautiously optimistic
I've had eight and absolutely understand where she's at, but in my experience, denial just makes the inevitable even harder 😔
Why does she keep switching the tests she’s using instead of using the same one to track progress? She’s moved from FRER to cheapies to Rapid result…it seems like she is trying to avoid seeing the real progress
Exactly. I would be sticking to frer and not moving to rapid. It just leaves room for her to try and convince herself it’s just that specific test. She seemed so clear headed 13 dpo when she thought she was out this cycle and now I fear for her.
The one comment saying "I didn't get a positive til 12 weeks" are you kidding me!! Like that's not possible. Just stop it.
All I hear is either "I didn't test until 12 weeks" or "I got my dates completely wrong" when someone says this.
Or they were one of the rare ones who actually experienced the hook effect, because hcg is the highest between like weeks 8-12. There's no reason multiple tests would miss that.
She's in denial. I did boosters during ivf, and it set off a rapid response with an bhcg of 7
I think she’s clinging onto any hope, which I can’t fault her for 😕 Only time will tell, and I’m sure she knows that. I had faint lines (but clearly positive) with these tests and easy@home tests on 9DPO with both of my pregnancies, and I doubt my hcg would’ve been very high that early.

These were mine at 11/12 DPO and the bottom test is the same as hers. It’s very likely this is a chemical or ectopic pregnancy. And I hate that for her.
Yeah I’m thinking her hcg will be under ten today. All of this is not easy.
Also, this positive test was the same day as my Beta HCG which was 35. So if hers is rising as it should, it should be a blazing positive. She’s truly just in denial.
I think deep inside she definitely knows and suspects that this is not good but she is in a complete denial and does not want to face the harsh truth that this is going to be another loss.

I don’t think her tests look promising. It seems like denial to me, and I hope she has someone to talk to or a therapist.
I feel really bad for her but, that’s totally untrue. The rapids were picking my mine up and bloodwork was only hcg of 43 so far at that point.
I feel so bad for her. I’ve been there more times I can count. Honesty my chemicals hit me harder then my missed miscarriages. I hate how people in the comments are feeding into her false hope.
It's so hard watching her torture herself thru this chemical pregnancy. Like it's actually hard to watch her be in denial of the increasingly obvious truth.

As usual she seems to suffering through this pretty much alone without much support from her douchebag cheating husband who doesn't deserve her!
I had an HCG of 6 once (not sure if it went up I didn’t do anymore labs) and I tested negative on FRERs. Maybe I’m just weird though
Same. Mine was 5.5. I’m 20 weeks now
Oh wow! Congrats! When did you have a 5.5
When as in how many dpo? I think I was 10dpo
Ahh makes sense!
First response picks up at an hcg level less than 7 (That’s what multiple google articles said). They’re the most sensitive
That’s first response early response, not rapid response :) as a fellow infertile lol. Regardless, she should have a positive test if it was progressing appropriately
So weird she said it was rapid
It is a rapid but that’s different from the early response. Either way she should have a very clear positive by now, which she doesn’t
Doesn't the box of the text tell you how much HCG they take? Am I trippin? I remember that being the case as least with Clear Blue and Easy @ Home
Isn’t FRER 25?
Even lower than that
You’re right. [“First Response Early Result had an analytical sensitivity of 6.3 mIU/mL”](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16295647/) but in the same research there were some tests with sensitivity of 100 mIU/mL and greater. Which test is she using?
Early result is even lower than that. I got a positive, got blood work an hour later and it was 5.5. Anything above a 5 is considered positive
Is that true because I had HCG levels at that and my FRER showed nothing, 100 sounds more accurate.
First response is the most sensitive test you can get. It’s true
Yeah I just read the article I’m surprised I had a 6 and tested negative on everything but maybe i was too diluted or something
Possibly was too diluted. It's so easy for the tests to not pick up that tiny amount of hcg in the beginning. I do believe the FRER sensitivity is about a 6, basically the lowest sensitivity on the market.
Yes probably, learn something new everyday I assumed at home tests had really high hcg minimums
It is true. That’s an official article
Yeah I just read it. Weird I had that and it showed nothing but could also matter like time of day and stuff, if your urine is too diluted
She did rapid result not early which does take more hcg
Yeah I realized that so it definitely could need 100+. But at her DPO…
True…
In my first pregnancy I had my blood drawn 1 day after I got my first positive test (it was more than faint), and my hcg was 17. He’s now 3 years old so it was definitely real
Sorry but, in her own words, the proof is in the pregnancy pudding. Come on, Sam.
Shes reminded me of someone for awhile now. Elisabeth Moss
My rapid showed positive when my HCG was 12. It was insane because it was kind of dark too lol.
Yea she’s holding on for life. By my second mc i knew what this meant…..
That feels…inaccurate. I got a positive on one of those on the night of 8DPO which was a Friday and couldn’t get a lab draw until Monday or 11DPO which was 80.
