Am I crazy?
I feel like I want to keep testing to make sure I am still pregnant before my doc appointment next week...am I crazy? Should I be worried? Would I know if I lost the pregnancy before then? I wasn't worried about this at all but all of sudden I am scared!

Re: Am I crazy?
Not crazy and I did the same thing  I wanted the satisfaction of seeing the line get darker and knowing I was still pregnant, because from what I've read, if you're going to have a chemical, the lines will sometimes get lighter/disappear before AF comes. It might be a little insane but it made me feel better!
I bought a LOT of dollar tree tests

Re: Am I crazy?
Nope you're not crazy at all. I will probably continue to test to "make sure".  So if you're crazy then that means I'm crazy

Re: Am I crazy?
You are not crazy. I did the same thing. I tested every morning until AF was due. I needed to see the lines getting darker because when I had my chemical the lines never did. After AF was due I stopped testing every morning, but I still test every few days. At this point the test line is MUCH darker than the control line, so I'm starting to feel a little calmer.

I did the same thing. A lot of people do this. it's totally normal.
as far as knowing if you lost the pregnancy... that's up in the air. some know, some don't know. but also some think they lost it and yet everything is fine.
for this pregnancy i took tests for a few days in a row and the lines never even got darker. i'm now 33w2d along so it's ok if that happens too.
good luck!!!

OK..I am glad you said that becuause I got my first yes on Sunday, but as of last night (Tues) the lines aren't getting darker. Going to get some more tests today and test tomorrow FMU.

no you cant really go by the darkness of the lines. At this point the only way you'd know is by getting blood tests and trackign the beta. But if you are healthy then a OB will probabaly not run a blood test and def not more than one.
So if you are still getting a line then that means you are still PG.
I was lucky that I got 2 blood tests because I see an RE and I get my first Ultasound on the 31st. Its a nerve wracking few weeks and Im sure even after the US I will still be questioning every little thing.

Nope It's not necessarily a bad thing. If the lines start getting lighter, then I would start to worry a little bit.
You might not notice any darkening for two or three days and then all of a sudden on the fourth day the line is significantly darker. But remember, each test is slightly different (even the same brands) and could contain a different amount of dye, etc. Also, your urine could be more diluted from one day to the next. The tests, while reassuring, do not work like blood tests. So please don't worry.
And congrats again!
