SO nervous!!! (pregnancy mentioned)

ldhopkins · #1 January 29th, 2012, 07:48 AM

Hello! I'm more of a lurker than a member of this board but I'm not sure where to turn and am hoping for some advice. DH and I dtd twice round when I ovulated. @ 10 dpo I had what I would call implantation bleeding. Yesterday @ 100 dpo I started getting light bfps. I'm nervous because we've had 2 losses, and while my tests are just a shade darker than yesterday (even the one I took this morning was a smidge darker than he one 2 hours previous) they are still light. If I did only implant 2 days ago would it be normal for them to still be pretty light?

First off Congrats! You probably want to put pregnancy mentioned in the title of your topic

I would think that your tests would still be pretty light. You're only 11 DPO, many don't even get a BFP that early period! I think it's a good sign that they are getting darker, even if it is just a little.

I can understand why it's be so scary, but it is normal for them to be light right now. The good news is that they are getting darker! Lots of sticky

to you!

congrats! Keep in mind that good doubling of HcG can take up to 48 hours...so you may not see a significant darkening in lines in a single day, especially when you're still so early. How diluted your urine is when you test can also impact line. Does your doctor do a couple of betas to check your doubling rate? that will probably give you more reassurance than the hpt lines (and is much more accurate).

I'm really sorry about not putting preg mentioned in the title. I know better than that but was in such a hurry trying to post at work

I'm waiting on a call from our RE's office to schedule blood work (getting an appointment is fast, but is such a back and forth game because even to make an appointment you have to talk to a nurse and they are never at the desk) but I'm not feeling very hopeful. The tests keep going darker, then lighter, and darker again. I am going insane!

Hopefully I will have something better to update later. Thanks for the support
