Trying to Get Pregnant

continuing to test after BFP

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I never understood continuing to test after you get a BFP. People usually cite that they feel security in seeing a "positive" continually.  I can understand for maybe a week since a quick c/p might show a "negative" but HCG takes a while to get out of your system so it doesn't seem like you would learn anything, but instead give yourself false resassurance.

 Has anyone had HPT show they miscarried?

  • well after almost a full year of nothing seeing something was quite a shock and i couldn't believe it.  so i peed on something else.. then i wanted to pee on something i didnt just buy over the internet for cheap so i peed on something that would say pregnant or not pregnant.  it said pregnant.  i stopped peeing on sticks.

  • After I got mine, I went to work thinking "maybe it was a fluke?  DH- you really saw that line, right?"  So on my way home I bought 4 different brands to make sure.

    I can't imagine that this time will be any different.

  • I totally get peeing a on a bunch initially, I did this too. 8 I think. Two of you said that you had determined you miscarried via HPT so I guess its more possible and common then I thought. I am sorry for your losses. Thank you for your honest responses.

  • Yes I was able too.  My hCG went from 327 to 12 in 2 days, very possible.

    I love Rat-T's.  See my avatar for Mrs. Beasley....

    OP: I continued to test because I loved seeing the two lines and I loved seeing the lines get darker in the beginning.

  • My HPT showed my chemical pregnancy, because I kept testing after my BFP. With my MMC I also kept testing, it was very reassuring to see that second line. However, as you said I had high levels of HCG when I had no viable pregnancy left so it was a false security.

  • With DD I only tested twice. I was 1 week late and got a negative HPT. 1 week later I tested again and got a positive. No more testing after that.  I'm hoping to take the same approach with this one, although I'm a little more eager so who knows!

    Aww we had a Rat Terrier, we had to put him down about 2 months ago though. :( He had a freak injury that damaged his spinal cord. And even after surgery the spinal cord was dying so we had to put him down. he was only 4 years old. They are truely the best breed ever!
