1st Trimester

Line progression

I have a history of loss and am currently 5 weeks pregnant. My line progression has been looking great, starting with clear view and switched to pregmate the past week. This morning, my pregmate test looks significantly lighter than it did two days ago (I took two just to be sure), but then I went out to get a clear blue and that looks good (dye stealer!) I know these tests are not supposed to be quantitative, but that line progression can be a way to anticipate hcg levels may be decreasing. Im having blood test next week, but does anyone have any experiences with pregmate tests being finicky and still resulting in a healthy pregnancy? 

Re: Line progression

  • I’m not sure when the hook effect can happen but it can cause your tests to be lighter. Your HCG is just so high that the test doesn’t behave the way it should. I understand the anxiety you feel but at some point you have to step away from the tests. If you want something quantitative, ask for a blood test and get a few betas drawn. That will give you a better idea of what is going on.
