Because then you can let your doctor know you're having recurrent miscarriages and you can have testing done. Not that hard to understand.

He is upset too but shows it differently.

OP here. Just waiting it out. Test this morning looked the same, still positive but not darker. So I am just waiting to start bleeding at this point. Husband is still un-phased and wants to go out for a friends birthday tonight. He just hung up on me because he asked why I sounded down and I said I didn't feel well (crampy, nose is congested and overall it's not fun waiting to miscarry for the second time in 4 months). Rude but the least of my worries. I just wish he would act as if he felt something!!!

Dear OP. If your hcg is 2 on 12DPO, don't keep testing. You're done. I am saying this not to be harsh, but because I've been around the block too many times in fertility land- IVF in particular- and know a lot about chemicals. This isn't viable. Holding out hope only tortures yourself more.

OP here again. I took a test this afternoon out of curiosity and it's darker than both of the previous tests. If my blood was beta of 2 yesterday morning how the freak is it possible my urine frer is getting darker today?

Even if there is a lag between blood and urine, my fmu frer yesterday morning was nearly negative which is why I was shocked that the dr said hers was positive. Ugh. None of this makes sense.

OP, this is the girl who posted that I was having the same issue- the SUPER faint FRER tests at 10 or 11DPO. I am 7dp5dt now and the line has gotten MARGINALLY darker but is still VERY barely there faint line- and the digital test this morning was NOT PREGNANT. Therefore, I am 95% certain this is a chemical. Same as you. The combo of the faint faint lines and the BFN digital at 12DPO. Chemicals are the worst. I feel gutted too. It's awful. I really feel for you. Hugs.

Dr just called and my blood test came back at only 2 so they're considering that negative. They have no explanation as to how I could have gotten a positive urine test just minutes before the blood draw. I am so gutted and so confused.

She said they'd call tomorrow but I'm not sure the first number matters without anything to compare it to, right?

No updates yet. I took a beta today and I have another one scheduled for Monday. I started spotting this afternoon dark brown and I assume it's implantation bleeding as I had it with my first pregnancy - except then I had it 9dpo and today is 11 dpo. So, that said, if it implanted yesterday or today then it makes complete sense that my tests would be very faint. Maybe they'll darken up by Saturday although I'm trying to stay completely away from them and going by just what my Dr. does. I'm just rambling now but I need somewhere to talk but don't want to drive my husband or best friend crazy.

OP what happened

I get your point but as someone that has had recurrent miscarriages it's good info for your doctor to know. Like PP said at least you know something is happening.

I don't have the luxury of waiting for AF bc am doing ivf. And would rather know that I had a chemical. At least a chemical you know something was happening?

If you find chemicals so devastating, WHY do you POAS before AF is late? I will never understand this.

Mine was not an immediate squinter- but not hours- but like 5ish minutes.
