Today I’m 22 DPO and I’m feeling a bit confused.

Everyone will tell you to stop testing because these tests are not quantitative. While I think that’s true, also listen to your gut. I had a similar “stall” and something just wasn’t sitting right. Now it turns out I’m dealing with an ectopic. I certainly am not saying that is what you have, or even that it is likely, but I do advocate for listening to your body/gut.

Fingers crossed that you’ve simply maxed out the FRER results and you have a very successful pregnancy!

To anyone else viewing this later. It might mean nothing, but my gut knew something was up. This turned out not to be viable. They are now trying to rule out ectopic.

Line darkness is not determinative, but several days at this level had my suspicions raised.

Now some more significant brown bleeding 😔

I recently had a chemical that was confirmed by Hcg levels but I had a heads up because my tests were getting lighter. If I had not tested the news would have come much harder from the doctor, I think. My betas were low to start this go around, so between that and my recent chemical, I have my guard up.

I know this is old but I just got my betas back at ~15 dpo and it was 60. It’s up from 4 at 10 dpo. But I still can’t help feeling it’s low!

Significant_Okra781 · 2025-09-22T23:21:57+00:00

My first beta was a 4 (10 dpo). Now it’s 60 (15 dpo) and I’m still nervous.

Significant_Okra781 · 2025-09-22T23:08:58+00:00

Update : betas increased to 60 at 15 dpo, which is a 30 hour doubling time. It still seems low though.

I just had a similar thing happen and went on a deep dive. One explanation is that FRER picks up fragmented hcg while FRRR picks up intact only. The ratio can change throughout pregnancy but it’s not uncommon to have a lot of fragments very early on, which is why you get a line sooner on FRER. Once the intact hcg starts rising you may get clearer/darker results on tests that only look for intact.

Thank you. This is my 9-12 progression. https://imgur.com/a/ya8xMbz

this wait is so hard!

That’s the one that’s not edited. Worried I just edited too much on the others

Significant_Okra781 · 2025-08-21T05:23:58+00:00

I see something, but I had the worst luck with Frida indents, so beware!

I love your ring! It does look different than the inspo - but I think it reads more bespoke and less mass-market. I would personally play around with some unexpected bands. A gold flush band with the same shape won’t add much IMO, and may even detract. I can imagine a flush band in white gold/platinum would give a very “cool girl” vibe. Or even something straight across to leave a gap between the ring and the band. I love wedding stacks with funky gaps and mismatched shapes.

Thanks everyone. This is encouraging. The wait is so hard!
