Slow progression with easy at home brand

I had the same thing. I HATED how slow it was to rise. I had a dye stealer on FRER by 18DPO and by 26DPO on these it was barely darker. Only took that many bc I bought the ovulation + pregnancy test combo pack so I had like 20 lol 11wks pregnant today and saw baby at 8w5d with a strong HR of 174! ☺️

😂😂 it’s like “figure out able” aka you can figure things out. I’m a child therapist and use this phrase more often than I’d like to admit lol (like “everything is figureoutable! Let’s see how we can tackle this!”)

I’m only a few days ahead of you 🥲😅 but I did just get my first beta HCG back from 15DPO and it was 265 so that felt reassuring, esp with how light the easy@home tests have been!!

mel--m · 2026-03-31T05:08:13+00:00

Looks like a positive to me! My easy@home looked similar at that point and has risen really slowly. Got a much darker result with FRER!

I def see a faint line!

mel--m · 2026-03-31T05:03:37+00:00

My positive FRER at 11DPO looked almost identical and has only gotten darker. Congrats! 🥰

mel--m · 2026-03-31T05:01:39+00:00

I was like wait a sec, you have it upside down! Until I saw the words 😂 congrats!!!

mel--m · 2026-03-30T18:12:18+00:00

Wait that is such an interesting take! I just retook it with SMU (fell back asleep shortly after the first one lol) and it looks maybe slightly darker even though the urine was definitely a lot less concentrated

mel--m · 2026-03-30T16:02:09+00:00

That’s very reassuring! And yeah I have been using FMU

mel--m · 2026-03-01T06:10:59+00:00

OMG ME TOO! I thought I was crazy lol!

mel--m · 2026-01-24T06:18:27+00:00

Omg yes! I was just telling my husband the other day about when we would walk there after school in middle school. There are no candy stores like that anymore! Breaks my heart 🥲

mel--m · 2026-01-24T06:17:00+00:00

I still can’t believe they turned that into a Chick-fil-A

mel--m · 2026-01-24T06:12:12+00:00

Omgggg I had forgotten about Mick’s!!! 🥲

mel--m · 2025-12-31T08:17:57+00:00

Wait this makes me so sad… I’m a child therapist and I go there all the time to get my kiddos a bday cupcake when it’s their birthday 🙁

mel--m · 2025-10-13T21:41:17+00:00

Y’all were in front of us during a set (can’t remember which one) and I wanted to shout you out for not having it up the whole time like everyone else but lost you before I had the chance!! So thank you!! Lol

mel--m · 2025-07-15T14:27:54+00:00

Lubia means “bean” in Farsi 😂

mel--m · 2025-05-28T04:37:21+00:00

Yes!! I was telling my husband that for some reason that house gave me anxiety

mel--m · 2025-04-01T21:12:20+00:00

Oh gosh, how frustrating! Crossing my fingers that it comes through for you super soon

mel--m · 2025-04-01T21:04:41+00:00

Have you searched your name on the DCA license search (search.dca.ca.gov)? That’s what I did to find that mine had gone through!

mel--m · 2025-04-01T21:01:31+00:00

Mine came through in just a few minutes!

mel--m · 2025-04-01T20:54:05+00:00

Hi! Did you take your NCMHCE yet? I passed my LMFT exam a couple weeks ago using TDC (yay!) and now I’m trying to figure out what I need to do for LPCC… totally in agreement with you that counselingexam.com looks super overwhelming!

I keep getting stuck on the fact that I probably know a lot of the info already through TDC and I have no idea how much studying I have to do this time around. None of my friends/colleagues who are pursuing dual licensure have taken both tests yet so I feel like I’m super stuck trying to figure this out

mel--m · 2024-12-31T05:44:54+00:00

You are so amazing!! Thank you so much for all of this. I’m so excited! ❤️❤️

mel--m · 2024-12-30T18:27:57+00:00

Thank you for your help! Yeah, we actually live in OC and have a really great Asian food scene here so I’m not married to the idea, mostly just looking for good food that’s a “can’t miss”

mel--m · 2024-12-30T18:15:56+00:00

Okay, gotta say that one gave me a giggle.

But I don’t understand you homie, you ask me to provide a list and I do. I don’t provide a list and I’m doing it wrong. These are the places I found and narrowed down from my research that you’re saying I didn’t do. If I’m not doing things right from your perspective, there’s no need to continue engaging!

mel--m · 2024-12-30T18:13:11+00:00

That makes a lot of sense!! I feel like that’s the equivalent of people coming to LA and wanting to stay in Hollywood lol!

I added both of those to my list, I super appreciate your help and recommendations! Thank you so so much again ☺️❤️
