I caved and took a hpt 3 days before my blood test....

My blood pregnancy test is on Wed 9/24(one day before my bday : ) but I caved and took a first response EPT hpt today (3 days early) and I had one bright pink line and one very faint 2nd line but definitely two lines. The instructions say that the second line can appear lighter but I'm still wondering if it could really be positive?! I had one failed fresh IVF cycle 5 months ago and this is my first FET cycle. I was feeling crampy with back aches since the second day post transfer so I was sure it hadn't worked but now I have hope. Has anyone had a similar experience with one bright pink line and one very faint line with a positive outcome? Also, I'm taking estrogen pills and progesterone injections but no medication with hcg....since it was a frozen cycle i didn't have to take the hcg shot. Could the progesterone or estrogen give me a false positive?

Another thing I realized is that the First Response test detects levels of 25 and since mine was positive on Sunday my numbers should have at least doubled by now right? : (

I'm pregnant (yay!) however my beta levels are low. My nurse said she likes to see at least 50 and mine are only at 29 : ( She says she's seen levels as low as 7 continue as a normal pregnancy but I'm really worried. I want to be excited and positive but seeing your count at 380 and knowing mine is only 29 really concerns me. I go back on Friday for my second test....i sure hope it doubles. I'll try to stay positive for now....

It sounds to me like you are pregnant. Stay positive and pray for that BFP tomorrow.
