Anyone still testing?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So Ive heard that your pos should progressively get darker each day you test because of the doubling levels. Ive still been testing. I def see it getting darker but todays test didnt look that much darker from yesterdays... could that be a problem?

mine did get darker, but my first several were so light that they were almost NOT visible, so yes they will probably get darker, but you can't bank on that because some tests are made with more or less dye (so we've all been told) and sometimes they just don't get darker. I did stop testing, but not until Sunday of this week, and then had my 3rd beta on Monday when my levels were finally up to 255 (I think I was 16 dpo on Monday) so that was a good number, and I haven't tested since. OPK's can be used as HPT's, but you must have a good amount of HCG in your urine before it works, so that's what I went to on sunday (a positive OPK used as HPT the test line must be darker than the control line) and before I couldn't get one to turn positive. I think that ended my obsession with testing. LOL

Yep .

Though today marks the last day of HPTs, so I'll just use up the OPKs...whew, Tenk, mine ARE darker than control for sure!

I like peeing on sticks.

I need to take a progression shot that goes up to 19 DPO!
