Going back through your pics, this one does look darker than yesterday’s - but more importantly, due to the variation in these tests (dye content) I would hold faster to the hcg levels and they were pretty good, right? I am praying for your sticky bean and you!

I do think you look good. You’re very early on. And I had read some things similar to Gretja about hcg plateauing - but I didn’t know the exact timeframe. I’m optimistic about your hcg levels. When do you go back?

Wow, interesting! I’m hoping that’s all I see here. Thanks for checking and trying to keep me grounded. At my age especially I’m struggling with optimism xo

which explains the "stall" we all seem to encounter and panic at it's crazy to me no one is studying this or talking about it, as it's the most important thing on every ttc woman's mind!

i think this, and the others, are looking good!

i have been researching urinary hcg values like MAD, and finally found two studies on the topic. they basically say hcg in urine rises exponentially for the 1st week after conception, and then rises very slowly going forward.

These look a tad darker than yesterday Angela, test in Pm if you want to see darker, I feel like you seem to get darker in the pm from before If I remember right? either way I think these look great. Hang in there, I know the start is the worst the watching and waiting.
