Okay, I took a test this afternoon b/c I didn't have any symptoms and I was worried. It is very dark. I am freaked! I am 15 dpo. I think my levels are for sure rising, which is great, but this seems crazy. I have started worrying about a molar pregnancy, for which I have none of the symptoms now, but I googled it for hours today and go tmyself all worked up Isn't this crazy dark? I am worried!!! Can anyone help me feel good about this?

Oh Michelle, if you need to talk I'm here just as everyone else is. I'm sure everything is just fine but I know the worries that occur in the 1st trimester. Hope you're ok ((HUGS))

I felt the same way the first few weeks. But that positive attitude is what will get u through each day!!!! Remember that!!! And remember every twinge every cramp every swoosh of nausea is so normal. It will pass.

Thanks you two

I am going to post my original worry since I can't shake it Maybe you all will say something to ease my worries.

Please post, its so normal to worry. Thats why most of us even found JM in the first place. We were looking for support from others online

Nope thats what most pregnancy tests I've seen look like at that point. In fact, I think Fi posted one like it the other day

Here are some random bfp's I found on photobucket










All look like yours

Are those at 15dpo too? That helps me feel so much better. Everyone was saying it was so dark yesterday, and so when I took it today it made me worried.

Dustin also said that maybe b/c I don't weigh that much, it is just showing in my urine better. Sounds plausible, right?

[LisanAndy]

Oh hugs Michelle! I was SOO terrified that I'd go in for my appt. and the baby would be dead and I would have a missed miscarriage. I also looked up tons of stuff and worried myself sick. Andy FINALLY talked some sense into me and said to enjoy this pregnancy, take it day by day, and worrying does no good at all. Fears still crept in and out of my mind but those words he said and him repeating them to me made me feel so much better. Try not to read too much, it'll only worry you. Just remember: cramps are SOOO normal, even some spotting in early pregnancy is too. This scary time WILL pass and you'll feel much more at ease. The best parts are to come girl, hang in there, I know it's tough!

Have you ever had a molar pregnancy? Higher hcg can mean twins also, right?

Some 15dpo's. They either say it in the pic, or came up in the search as "15 dpo"

no I haven't had one before. I don't know why I looked all that stuff up and freaked myself out. Oh that's right--because I am crazy!

I know an HPT isn't really an accurate guide for anything. Since it is so much darker I am not going to worry about my betas doubling anymore so I am not taking another test. I am shipping them to one of you TTC ladies!

[Lash]

Notice the Beta in the first pic too was very close to yours

You looked it up because you care, because this is important. THATS why.

Lauren you are my HERO!!! Seriously, this makes me feel so much better! Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I had a full molar in 2005. When I got my bfp it wasn't very dark... does that help a bit?

[Mars]

Michelle, it is natural to worry and I understand that you will probably worry more because of all that you've been through.

BUT, do one thing and stop researching stuff!!!! Whatever will be, will be. You will drive yourself bonkers if you keep looking for possible reasons why this can't be real. Just try to go with the flow and take it one day at a time. Don't see the cup half empty, see it half full. The same way you want to drive yourself crazy thinking it could be a molar pregnancy, try seeing it as that wonderful dark line could mean one or more beautiful baby(ies).

You guys had a fantastic chance this month with your follies and Dustins super sperm so I'm thinking this is very, very real!!

Lauren you are my HERO!!! Seriously, this makes me feel so much better! Thank you Thank you Thank you![/b]

I'll search all night if you want me to

Here's my test at 13 DPO and 16 DPO. I think your test looks great

You're fine hun! I know my BFPs always get way darker than the control line by about 15-16 DPO at least, and I get very early positives (9-10 DPO)

All it means is that the pregnancy hormones are doubling like they are supposed to be! I wouldn't worry about a molar pregnancy, they are very rare.
