home pregnancy tests getting lighter

[Anonymous]

I tested Sunday and it was a dark test line (wasn't really expecting to be pregnant due to history of PCOS and infertility but was actively trying without assistance... )- had a beta Tuesday at RE office and was 778... but since then the lines on my home pregnancy tests keep getting lighter. I was very dehydrated earlier in the week due to painful sores in my mouth making it hard to drink enough- to the point that when I got blood it took 4 needle sticks to get any on Tuesday... so I want to tell myself that being back to normal hydration is making them lighter but am of course very very anxious (and wonder if dehydration or the virus i had that caused the dehydration hurt the pregnancy). i've already had a previous miscarriage. Any positive stories where home pregnancy tests were getting lighter but it didn't mean a miscarriage. i ran to labcorp this am for a pay for your own beta test but of course don't know the results yet

There no need to continue testing. Stop testing. Talk to your doctor about your anxiety and possible meds.

Sorry OP. I've had many chemical pregnancies. The tests getting lighter were always how I knew the bleeding was coming soon.

On a positive note, I got pregnant with both my kids the very next cycle after a chemical pregnancy. I remember reading somewhere that it could make you more fertile the next cycle.

I hope your outcome isn't a chemical for you but if it is, stay positive and pay attention to ovulation timing next cycle!!

thanks-- last miscarriage took 3 + months to have betas drop to under 1 and then 3 cycles of IUI so just hoping that doesn't happen again.

Officially a miscarraige. This website is bizarre- not everything requires anxiety medicine- people worry for very rational reasons
