HPTs not getting darker???

Okay, so I've taken 3 ICs (same brand) over the past 3 days and they all look exactly the same. It's almost like a ghost line. But it shows up right away....so why aren't they getting darker? I figured the first 2 were ok because there was only about 10 hours in between, but now there's 36 hours in between the 1st and 3rd, and still no change :( Should I be worried? I'm really freaking out...ugh...plus I've still been cramping. And last night I had stabbing/pinching pains on my left side. It hurt all the way to my knee. I don't know what's happening :(

Even if its faint its still a positive have you called your doctor About it. perhaps they can do a blood test if you feel you need it. I wouldnt stress out over it Remember stress isnt good for the baby. (wink) Everything is fine if your late for AF your probably pg.

When i was pg with my son my hpt's where really faint but oh boy was i pg no doubt about that and to top it off my bf recognized i was before i did the tests. There is hope!

Just go ahead to the doctors in the very lest if you are concider it a wellness check up if not Talk to her/him about trying to conceive and see about any options

I did the same thing when I first found out I was pg. My lines were faint and over the course of a week or so I tested daily and the lines didn't seem to be getting darker. I read everything I could on the subject, desperate for a little consolation. Everything I read told me that HPT's are not meant to tell you how pg you are, only if you are pg or not. If you're concerned about your hCG count then call your Dr and ask if you can come in for some beta tests. GL!!

I really, really hope this is it for you! But I have a question. You said the lines were almost like ghost lines.

Thanks everyone for replying. I've never even gotten any sort of second line on a test so I think I'm just over analyzing and freaking out about every little thing. I'm just sooooo nervous. I want this little bean to stick around :)

I know I shouldn't still be worried about this but every time I take a test and the second line is so very faint I still freak out a little. I took FRER's on 9DPO,11DPO,and 13DPO (today). The first one is crazy faint,but it was early. The second is the teeniest bit darker, and the one from this morning is much lighter. Ugh...I figured by now I'd have a nice dark line and I could stop worrying. If I got my first + at 8 DPO, that was 5 days ago. The line shouldn't be lighter now? should it? I know everyone's telling me not to read anything into these things, but it's so hard. I feel like the next time I test there won't be a line at all :( The doc. won't see me until the 4th. They said that's the earliest. So I have another week to go through. This sucks...

Hi


With my first DS, who will be 4 in september, I kept getting faint BFP's up to 1 1/2 weeks after my first BFP. My DH kept telling people, "my wife might be pregnant".


I went out and got a digital that said "Pregnant". and then

Hello...Cramping is so typical in early pregnancy. It is implantation. The pain is legamint pain..your utirus is pre-
paring itself to support your growing baby and sometimes that
pain can shoot down your let and even get leg cramps. I had
all that. Try to think positive the best you can. Go buy a
baby outfit or write a note tell yourself I am pregnant and going
to be for 9 months. Think about all the joy that you and your
husband is going to share. -Bobbi

Thank you for replying. I feel like a crazy person. I wish I wasn't such a worrier. I'm trying to be calmer, really trying. I honestly don't think I'll be comfortable until I get into the 2T,but I'll probably still worry after that lol I'm attaching a picture of my tests so you ladies can tell me to shut up :) All were taken with FMU. Thanks for all the input. It really does make me feel better.
