1st Trimester

Strong positive tests

I took 2 tests 13 days post ovulation and my results came back very strong and within 3 seconds of dipping my tests. Is that normal or do I just maybe have high hormones. I'm 4 weeks and 4 days now.
Thanks for your input :)

Re: Strong positive tests

  • Super normal. HCG varies wildly in normal, healthy pregnancies, especially early on. You are pregnant. Don't overthink it too much-- the tests can't tell you much more than yes/no.

  • I took my home pregnancy test 3 days after my missed period and with the first urination of the morning (I hear that is recommended) and it was a very faint, but visible. 
    With that, I did call the doctor and got a blood test done and it said I was for sure pregnant! 
    I'm not sure what really makes a test lighter or darker, but all in all mine has been healthy and now 32 weeks! Hope all the best for all!
  • I thought I was pregnant the week after I conceived but wanted to wait to take the test. I've been the the doctors to get a test done there and it was also positive :) waiting for an appointment at an OBGYN now.
  • Mine was so dark too like instantly! I was only 3w 2d (11 dpo) when I took the test. Now have to wait an eternity before I have my first appointment.
  • Same! It's crazy to me that there aren't more appointments during pregnancy.
  • Same! I’m having twins 😂
  • Same thing here I’m tech 4 week 6 days. My test instantly was positive without morning urine and I started thinking maybe I’m farther along than I calculate but I had my period on December 28th. Hoping a blood test will be able to help and ultrasound to date.
  • Everything is fine, don't worry.
