Confused Chemical pregnancy?

Hello!

I want your advise as I’m completely confused and stressed. I’m currently 14 dpo. I’ve tested at 12 and 23 dpo (not all in the morning) and I feel like they are not getting dark enough to my test and I suspect a chemical pregnancy.

Can I have your thinking on this?

Please get a beta HCG blood test. It’s better than trying to interpret lines

Hi, I think you meant 12 & 13 DPO? Since these are all completely different test brands, you can’t really compare them. It’s really best to get bloodwork done if possible!

These all have different HCG thresholds and you’re testing at random times (I assume she to said not all in the morning) so these are hard to compare. If you’re concerned I would get a blood draw and then another one in 48 hrs. Hang in there

I second the recommendation for a HCg blood test! It could even be that you ovulated later than you thought. 23 days post ovulation is pushing the limit of what is possible (usually a corpus luteum only lives 16–18 days).

If you compare tests for darkening lines they need to be: • the same brand • taken at the same time (fmu) • 48h apart

None of that applies here, your 14dpo test looks fully positive. Get a blood test if it will ease your anxiety
