Me and my husband have been trying for two months and we got three positives yesterday! We are very excited I do have alot of questions and we are waiting to tell family in person so I'm coming to you all for help!
I have no signs apart from a little tenderness to the Breast but my last period was only three weeks ago so I'm three weeks no signs is not what's concerning me its how fast the positive on all showed up and one of the test is the two pink line one and the line showed p very clear and bright within seconds of the line that shows its working popped up. I've researched what causes a positive test the hormone level and that it doubles daily and all that but could I be farther along or even twins I've read that also. My husband tells me I research to much and most sources are unreliable so I'd like real help from someone who's been throughs this!
Thanks again Brandy
Re: Help please?
The hormone level doesn't double daily. On average, it doubles every 48-72 hours. And the range of hormone levels in a normal, healthy pregnancy is wide. you could start with a level in the teens or in the low thousands, and either one is normal.
HPTs aren't quantitative tests. That is, they can't tell you what your hormone level actually is. They can just tell you that you're pregnant, or not. The amount of dye can vary from one test to another, so trying to determine anything from the darkness of the line or how fast it shows up will just confuse you.
It's possible that last period was just bleeding during very early pregnancy and you're actually farther along. it's possible you ovulated early, and you're farther along. Really, anything is possible at this point. The end result is that you're pregnant (congrats!) and you should call your dr to schedule your first appointment. Don't be surprised if they don't see you until you're 8 or 12 weeks along. There's not much they do early on, and that's the standard for a normal, healthy pregnancy.
