second baby questions

Hi. Im sorry I dont really post here much but I have been around for awhile. My DD is almost 4. I just found out I am pregnant with my second. I got 3 BFPs in the past few days. However, my question is about how prominent the lines were. I am supposed to get my period either today or tomorrow and I took the first two pregnancy tests on Saturday so 3-4 days before expected period. The lines were pretty dark, it was definitely a positive, but still lighter than the control line. The third test I took yesterday, 1-2 days before expected period and the + was also very strong and showed up right away. With my first I think I probably tested around the day my period was due or maybe a day before and the line was barely there, I had to run out and buy a digital to confirm. Also the first two tests were from the dollar store and that is the same test I used that gave me a faint line with my first. Now I have been reading that dark lines that early could mean twins and I am freaking out because I definitely cannot handle twins right now. I dont go to the doctor until March 23 so I have almost three weeks of waiting. 

Also, I have been having early symptoms even before the positive pregnancy test. I was nauseous, tired, bloated, irritable, very hungry at times and had some cramping. The past couple of days I have been overly emotional. I am starting to worry that having this many early symptoms means something. Can anyone help put my mind at ease if you have any information on this meaning one baby or twins or if anyone has had any of the same things happen. Thank you. Sorry for rambling.

If stop peeing on sticks first. You are pregnant. Congrats! There really isn't any indication of twins, the only way to find out is an ultrasound. I really wouldn't freak out, it seems pointless at this time.

Line darkness has more to deal with the dye lot used then the amount of hcg in your System. Stopping peeing on things. Your are pregnant. The end.

How dark the lines are on your test has no indication if you're having twins or not. If you were having symptoms a couple of days before you took the pregnancy test, that could just mean that you may be a little later than you thought. I was having symptoms almost a week before my period was supposed to start and didn't test until this past Friday and on all of my tests my line was darker than the control line, but that has nothing to do with how many babies you're potentially carrying. You're pregnant, do not test anymore. Congratulations!

You need an ultrasound to determine twins, like everyone else said. It has nothing to do with the darkness of the lines. Shit, if it did I'd be having many multiples because there was no missing that BFP! lol.

 

congrats on being pregnant!
