Tell me to stop it!! *little update*

edited August 2013 in April 2014 Moms
I know that symptoms come and go. My only symptom has been tired and sore boobs. The past couple of days, they haven't been hurting as bad. I'm only 5 1/2 weeks so they shouldn't be fading yet. Being the dummy I am, I tested this morning, and the line was much lighter than when I tested two weeks ago. It was FMU. I googled the shiiiit out of it and read about the Hook Effect so got my hopes back up. Took another test this afternoon and it was the same darkness as this morning. Both were FRER. No cramps or bleeding, but it doesn't quite seem right! What do you think? 

 * I went in for a blood test this afternoon. I should be getting results by tomorrow morning! Fingers and toes are crossed!

  • imageMichael is telling you to stop it.

    But seriously, "there is no such thing as a little pregnant."  I think you'll be fine, it sounds like common symptoms, but maybe call the doc to check in?

    I could have written your post myself (W6 D2). STOP IT! and please tell me to stop it too. 
  • I have a call in to my doctor's office, but the nurse is already gone! So I will need to wait until tomorrow.

  • I am 5wks and 2 days and I have only had sore boobs and I've been bloated.  My boobs felt fine this morning, so I naturally worried a little.  I took a test, but I did the clear blue that say pregnant or not pregnant!  I hate the LINES!  They can be so finicky!  But remember...any 2nd line is a positive.  TRY not to get yourself worked up and over the darkness of that stupid line. Your body is going to be different every day.  I would just focus on the fact that you have no cramping or bleeding and try to stay positive :)
  • The darkness of the test has just as much to do with the amount of dye in the test as the HCG in your system.  I wouldn't compare tests.  And honestly, I'd put the pee sticks down.  They'll only make you crazy.

  • It's just weird that they have all been FRER, and all the sudden the lines are fading. They were super dark when I first tested.

  • I also need to stop consulting Dr. Google. He's telling me a faded line could mean miscarriage.

  • Stop googling and stop POASing!!!!!! :) no good can come from those at this point!

    @sunlavender I've heard the same thing.  I just find it strange that they are so much lighter than before!

  • If it will make you feel better splurge and get an electronic my DH had me take 3 test and still disnt believe me. It took the word pregnant to come up on a screen for him to be 95% sure and now i just need the doctor to confirm it for him to be 100%

  • I've heard hcg can stay in your system long after a miscarriage. So I know a digital would SAY positive (based on the fact I had a positive pregnancy test today.)

    You're correct it can stay...(and im no expert) but based on what I know from personal experience and loss you'll know in your heart if something is wrong. And your body will let you know. You gotta keep the faith and trust your gut but hey if your heart says something is afoot at the circle k keep testing or call your doc. But with no bleeding or cramping i'd say your fine try not to stress its not good for the baby. If youre that worried and its coming from your heart see your doc asap to calm your nerves. Plus only they can tell if your levels go down

  • I feel awful some days and better other days.  My boobs have never been very sore.  I too worried that perhaps it was a sign.  Then I went and dry heaved upon getting out of bed today, so don;t get yourself worked up.  Just enjoy being pregnant today and try not to worry yourself too much.  

    Hang in there!!
  • @mcrogol Oh my gosh that has been my only symptom!  They hurt sooooo bad!  Especially when I took off my bra at the end of the day...woof!
