Hey all, I would love to see your “Easy @ Home” hcg progression lines from the moment you started testing. Mine is below, top 3 tests are 9 dpo, bottom 3 tests are today at (two were with the same urine- the two together) 10 dpo. Frustrated because they don’t seem to be getting any darker (maybe even lighter at the bottom one?) and I’ve experienced a chemical before so just trying to see positive experiences to keep my mind content :)

mine are the wondfos, but here's a progression from around 9 - 15dpo. I'm waiting for my hcg blood results to see if it doubled 😬

@SPaster2021,
it’s stressful! Lol not knowing if the lines are accurate or coordinating with blood! Best of luck to you!

@mamaofoneandttc,
For sure! The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that your urine gets diluted really easily, so I try not to think to hard about whether they're dark enough, etc. I'll hold off on any further testing until I get my bloodwork on Wednesday, as that's a lot more accurate!
I do think yours are getting darker though 🙂

It is only a day apart, so could still progress. My cheapies were very light for 2 days, then even lighter on the 3rd! I was a little worried. But look at these tests this morning! My cheapies might have been a bad batch? My fingers are crossed for a darker line for you tomorrow! ��

Some advice, though I know it’s hard to follow- don’t take these every day... or at least not a few times a day. It can vary and it will drive you crazy. In my experience, they took a long time to progress. My progression is attached, as you can see I got nervous and took a CB �� But it took 4 days after my first faint positive to be confident. Even then, I drove myself crazy. Congrats!

@jak214,
yes the second from the bottom is from last night. I know not to expect much over a span of 12 hours but from my 9 dpo (top 3 tests) to this morning I expected to see more of a difference. In person, it looks the exact same! I will only be testing once a day now with FMU that way if it doesn’t progress again tomorrow morning I am fairly certain it is a chemical. But I’m hoping for the best!!

The 10 dpo ones look darker to me.

I did a control test then I had an HCG wash then just kept testing.
My blood test is tomorrow so I have no clue what my HCG is at...
I am "13 DPO" (I think that is how to translate IVF to regular cycles)
Your 9DPO is my 4dp5dt - you have time =)

@mamaofoneandttc,
This is my 3rd time being pregnant & I've never seen the lines this dark before. I'm hoping it's a good sign.
(1st was a MMC at 7wks & the 2nd was a chemical)

@SciTeacher15,
absolutely! Looks fabulous. I am hoping my lines progress soon! It’s stressful, I’ve also previously had a chemical so I know the feeling. Best of luck to you :)

I feel as though ours looks very similar. I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst at this point. I am sending baby dust your way, keep me updated. I am currently only 11 dpo so you are a few days ahead of me!

These are from my last pregnancy. 11DPO is still so early so try not to worry.

@usernotfound,
thank you! I know I’m early it’s just hard to feel comfort when I’ve had a previous chemical and no what “little to none” of line progression means. But I’m staying positive, whatever is meant to be will be. Thank you so much for responding, your post gives me some hope!

So much good news on this thread - congrats everyone! Here’s my easy@home progression. Looking at it now, it seems like a good sequence and I stopped testing when I got a minor dye stealer. But I definitely had a few lighter strips not shown here (14dpo and 16dpo) on days that I drank a lot before bed. So I tested those days with SMU, then my third pee, which all happened before I drank my morning tea. Either way it showed me that being well hydrated can skew the test and that comparing every 2-3 days is definitely most important. SMU was also generally best for me.
