I am one day away from getting my period. I took a test yesterday and went and confirmed I am pregnant. My hcg level was 17 and my progesterone level was 22. All good said the doc. (I pray she is right cause I don't know) Well this morning I took two more and the line isn't any darker than yesterday. Is this normal? I thought it got darker everyday!!??
Quoting marriedmomma3:
Why are you still taking tests if you are alreayd confirmed? They double in two days. Mine were always light no matter how many times I took the tests
Because I am nervous! lol I go in tomorrow to check the blood again and in my paranoid brain I figured the line would get darker if the Hcg was getting bigger in numbers. I guess that is not a good way to measure progress, huh?
are you taking the sam brand test or different tests? I was nervous too and took a bazillion different tests.

I am taking a variety of different tests.
Oh sweetie you are adorable. I have only had one non-digital test come back with a dark line and it was after I thought I lost this baby. I was bleeding and passed clots (TMI, I know lol), so I did as I did witht he other 3 MCs I had and waited a few days then took a test...out of the 12 tests I took this pregnancy, that is the only one that had a dark line...guess it wanted to make sure I saw it lol. Your Hcg lvl does not make a differance really in how dark the test line will be, some women could take a test at the highest point of their Hcg rise and have a light (sometimes even a very faint) line so don't worry. I understand being paranoid, but I believe I posted an Hcg chart on your other post that will give you a general guideline for where you should be at each week of pregnancy. As long as the numbers are close to doubling every 48 hours, you are fine. Like I said in the other post, the doctor will not be afraid to let you know if something is wrong.

Oh thank you! That makes me feel alot better!
i've always kept the pg tests for baby books, and although i lost all but my 2 year olds (lol, oops) it looks exactly the same now as it did the moment i took it. supposedly they're supposed to fade to nothing in like 10 days or something. but 2 years later, it's still there. so i dont know if they're supposed to get darker or not. when i tested the second time, it was the same as well, so idk, maybe my body's weird lol (i usually tested a couple days apart, just to be sure.)
