Maybe you're not as far along as you think? Maybe that's why it was only a 3? Arghhh, you must be going crazy wondering.

Oh really? I did not know that!! My blood was taken in the morning for afternoon testing would that make the numbers drop is that what you mean?
I meant that if this little one wasn't going to stick that the numbers would decrease first in the blood. The rest of the hcg would then be excreted via the urine and that's why they might be darker than they were yesterday.
BUT, everything might turn out to be perfectly fine! You might just have low bhcg levels.
oh i see so the test could be darker today even if my levels were dropping?
how do bloods work i mean does a human put the figures in for the dr to read or what>? is it possible it was human error as how on earth can i have a level of 3 and be getting a double darker test today?!!
I'm so confused :(
TTC5 were you charting this cycle? If so, can you link your chart?
Just been looking around on google and found that -
An hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy.
from this site Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)—The Pregnancy Hormone : American Pregnancy Association
So i think you should have the levels tested again to see if they are moving up or down. FX for you 5.
Yep I go to pathology tomorrow for repeat blood work to see what they do. What gets me is why would I have such a dark BFP today if yesterday my level was just 3? Could my level today have doubled perhaps and I do have a sticky in there?
