I should be 27 DPO today which is bottom test and it looks lighter than the test from 23 DPO. I am very nervous as I had MMC in December. Should I be worried?

Idk how far along 27 dpo is but I really recommend you stop testing. These are all positive tests

Okay thank you all! I am 5 weeks 6 days today. I had my hcg tested at 4 weeks and 2 days and it was at 1300, then tested again at 5 weeks 2 days and it went up to 22,000. I will stop testing, just anxious because of my prior miscarriage

@MeganOlivier,
those are great numbers! Please look at that as such a big relief that your levels are rising! I know it’s really scary, I also have a history of loss, but I actually found a little peace in knowing it’s completely out of my control. You did absolutely nothing wrong to cause your previous experience. Just take care of yourself and try to find a healthy outlet when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Walking, yoga, reading, puzzles, cooking, journaling, meditation, comfort shows, whatever you’re into! I wish you all the best! ��

It doesn’t look lighter to me. It looks fine. I would stop testing. I know it’s hard especially with a MC but do your mind a favor and just stop testing, whatever happens will happen. Fingers crossed for you momma :)

I also don't think it looks lighter, but I've heard that hCG concentrations that are too high can actually result in lighter tests. These tests aren't meant to give you a number, just a yes/no. Glad to hear your blood work is showing hCG increasing - good luck with the pregnancy!
