Question

Test line not getting darker...does that mean my numbers are not rising?

I have been getting a definite positive but the test line is not getting any darker. I have had two betas so far but wanted to drive myself crazy with home tests. First beta 172 two days later 319. I go for another one tomorrow but I am worried my numbers will not be higher.

A urine test can only tell u if ur pregnant, not if ur numbers are rising or not. There are too many factors that can alter the results, duration of hold, fluid intake, no 2 tests are identical in dye and function, then there's kidney filtration rate, contamination of the urine, test etc. There are just too many factors, thats why doctors dont use urine to gauge what ur levels are. Ur numbers look good thus far, dont stress urself out over a pee stick. Very bad for u and baby!!

My last beta was 56900 4 days ago, I had one FRER left and just used it to see what it would look like, the test line is very dark but no darker than when my numbers were at 2000, this is also an IVF pregnancy. My best advice is to stop testing as they are only reliable to a certain stage. Good luck and stay positive, im 7 weeks today and my test line is no darker than 4.5 weeks
