Hi, pardon a little paranoia here! I'm here after a loss in August, so I'm little nervous.

I'm either 15, 18, or 19dpo depending on who you believe (Ovusof, FF or me).

Here's a link to my test from 12/7 and one from today: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/judirobr...60762367834839

Shouldn't I have a better line by today? I'm freaking myself out here. Does this matter?

Lurking from the June DDC. My lines were that light that early on too! And I kept on testing too, because I just didn't believe!

Congratulations!

thanks everyone!

I got consumed with worry yesterday and went in to a lab for a beta. Let me just say that I *love* Costa Rica. I don't need a doctor's note to find out what's going on with my own body!! The lab will call me sometime during the morning with my numbers.

I so appreciate each of you taking the time to calm my nervous paranoia!!

I'll post the #s when I get them.

Okay, yesterday's beta numbers are in: 1,078! Which corresponds to the 2nd or 3rd (from O) of pregnancy. So that puts me in the right place. Weird that with a number like that, the test would be so light.

I guess it just goes to show that a line really is a line, and darkness or lightness is immaterial!!

Hopefully doc will repeat the beta on Friday, so I can go on my trip knowing that my numbers are rising appropriately.

Thanks for your patient and kind replies!

Congrats!

Yes, a line is a line! Sometimes they just don't darken. You can sometimes tell if hcg is rising by how soon after adding urine the line appears. It can be a better indicator.
