I don't think there is an easy answer for you. I have read that you really can't rely on pregnancy tests like these to check on how well the pregnancy is progressing. Your wee could be more dilute or more strong depending on so many different things. The only reliable test is a blood test to show HCG levels. This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but the only thing that will really tell you if the pregnancy isn't viable is if you start bleeding (without going to the hospital for tests). I realised I didn't 'feel pregnant' any more at 5 weeks and 2 days later, I came on. Best of luck with everything. I hope it all goes well.

so, I wait and try not to freak out.. and hope nothing ruptures in the mean time. this early it wouldn't be picked up by an ultrasound so I would be sent home with them thinking I am crazy. I have a frunky pinched nerve type feeling right above my pubic bone and to the right. It sort of moves around and it certainly isn't a cramp type feeling but it's still worrying me along with the test results.

Thank for replying.

I was only sent for blood tests because I had very bad cramping. They started as period type pains but got so bad they took my breath away and were very painful. There were concerns it was an ectopic pregnancy but the pains subsided and all the tests showed were that my HCG level dropped. Your pains sound more normal though, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you for taking the time to share. It does help to have someone talk about their exp. I will cross my fingers for whatever it is to go smoothly.
