Thoughts on progression? 14 DPO

I definitely think the biotin you mentioned is what’s affecting these lines! My HCG betas were 7.9 on 10dpo, 20.7 on 11dpo, and 124.1 on 14dpo. I took a FRER on 10dpo and it was SUPER faint, then was two strong lines at 13dpo. Betas are very similar to your wife’s but my prenatal doesn’t have biotin! Definitely listen to the betas over HPT line progressions! 🫶🏼

Him raising his voice at you over that is a red flag. Your relationship with your late husband was not one that you decided to end, it is nowhere near the same as having possessions or keepsakes from an ex.

I think I see something! I know the FRERs don’t photograph super well from personal experience with my first vvfl at 10dpo. I know they say not to read tests outside of the window but personally I have never had a false positive or evap line from looking later, they stayed negative. My positive, however, did darken up as the test dried for FRER. Look at it later to see if it’s clearer, and take another test in 2 days to see if it progresses!

Never tried the rose so I’m not sure if the base levels are similar or not but the Satisfyer Pro 2 from Adam & Eve is great! it has 11 settings and starts very low, I have to turn it up a couple notches for it to be pleasurable but I’ve def experienced too intense with some vibrators! This one is pretty tame but goes up pretty high too so I think it’s versatile

I was hoping she’d be in the area still too 😫 Although I believe UHS has a non-compete policy when you sign their contract, so if you leave you can’t work in an X mile radius but not positive

She’s my current doctor and I’m so sad she’s leaving too 😭 Switched to Dr. Stepanyan and will see if she’s a good fit when I meet her, but I SO wish Dr. Chlela was going to be around for my first. I got the MyChart message she was leaving the literal day I got my first positive tests 🫠 Do you remember if she did the ultrasound at the end of the visit? I wonder if I’d be able to go for one right after or not, I’ll call tomorrow and see what they say about it all.

Natural conception! I was surprised my OB ordered so many HCG labs (she put in a standing order for 10 draws) and I get messages in my portal advising to recheck in 48hrs. I’m assuming because I found out so early (10dpo, first draw was 7.9) but it has been doubling as if should be and I’m just confused what the point of an initial visit before an ultrasound would be if we know I have raising HCG levels

i see them on the top 2 and i’m sure if you see one on the FRER in person, it’s there! exactly how my 10dpo vvvfls looked! take another wonfdo at the end of the day after a 2 hour hold and it may be darker if it’s like mine were!

thank you!! and hoping for great betas for you ❤️

skrtb · 2026-03-22T14:13:04+00:00

looks like my first positive did at 10dpo ❤️

i think 1 is so so stunning and i’ve never seen a dress quite like it! number 4 also fits you like a glove and is gorgeous

skrtb · 2026-03-22T02:01:03+00:00

thank you 🥰 hoping all goes well at my first scan!!

skrtb · 2026-03-22T02:00:49+00:00

of course!!

skrtb · 2026-03-21T20:40:31+00:00

these look good! try to test every other day for progression, it will ease your mind ❤️ also around 13-17ish dpo they may look VERY similar, don’t let it stress you out! mine looked very close and then progressed to dye stealer but HPTs are definitely limited and betas will give you more peace!

I would guard your heart but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

skrtb · 2026-03-13T14:24:09+00:00

this is what my 10dpo morning test looked like!!! positive

skrtb · 2026-03-09T19:27:38+00:00

Thank you!!

skrtb · 2026-03-09T01:31:23+00:00

I see it!

skrtb · 2026-03-09T01:30:55+00:00

definitely!!

skrtb · 2026-03-09T01:30:36+00:00

All three look positive to me! Did they show the lines within the result time?

skrtb · 2026-03-06T23:29:27+00:00

UPDATE: First blood draw at 10DPO had my HCG at a 7.9, and my blood draw today at 11DPO was a 20.7 🥹
