But just remember, you were day 10 -very early. <br />As the pp said, try to stay focused on the positive. Easier said than done, but for every worry thought - try to have 3 positive thoughts :)<br /><br />Congrats again and I look forward to following your pregnancy!hopefulcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006055748711190904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-30508729460668924132010-10-20T05:59:17.882+05:302010-10-20T05:59:17.882+05:30Congratulations! If you remember, my first test a...Congratulations! If you remember, my first test at 12dpIUI with the FRER was a very light line, and at 13dpIUI it was even lighter - so I was very surprised with a beta of 358! You really can't go by how dark the line is at all. <br /><br />And to back this up - someone posted this on the SMC-pregnancy board in just the past few days:<br /><br /><br />>>>One thing you could do to track your beta increases on your own -is to buy multiple cheapie pink lined HPT and watch the lines get darker. That's a crude and inexpensive way for you to verify that your betas are increasing in 48 periods. I would try to make sure that those cheapie HPT are all from the same lot -with the same expiration dates, preferably in the same multipack box.<<<br /><br />I would actually caution people to not do this. I used to run and interpret labs for a women's health practice, including urine and blood pregnancy - you really can't use a HPT in the manner described above. Simply put, a urine pregnancy test is qualitative - the answer is either yes or no: Yes, there's sufficient HCG to cause a line to be visible; or no there isn't sufficient HCG to cause a line. The strength of the line is immaterial. It's a completely different test than a quantitative one, which measures the actual level (that's what the quantitative blood test does). With repeated testing, the lines *can* get darker with HPTs - but they can just as easily never change or get lighter over time - that's just a function of the particular brand and has nothing to do with levels of HCG. So don't make yourself crazy doing this - HPTs can't tell you anything about the increase in HCG over time.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647211529119137824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-89805267788838874942010-10-19T23:19:35.105+05:302010-10-19T23:19:35.105+05:30Congratulations - very exciting news.
