Concerned with my HCG vs HPT results

[u/Mrssummerhunter]

Hi ladies, cautiously entering this sub and really hoping to stay this time.

Had a vvvvvfl, barely visible at 9dpo, Friday evening, so we assume that as implantation day. Next morning the lines got a hair darker, negative ultra early CB digital but positive regular digital.

Very stagnant progression since then, lines darkened but just barely. Went for betas today (12dpo), they came back at 32. I had an PUL in November 2025 (with similar lines and numbers) so I’m naturally horrified of another experience of that nature and now worrying that if the digital picked up a positive on Sat morning (10dpo) I must’ve had enough hCG to indicate positive.

I’m all over the place trying not to freak out as obviously not much I can do at this point but wait for the second beta, but I was thinking, what are the chances the digital was false ? That’s my only hope that things could still be ok. I appreciate I’m being completely irrational but any support or relevant is expected is welcome, if any of you are willing to share.

Hey there, experiencing the same thing as you. And I found this Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/TFABLinePorn/s/hdjEAn3DJm)

It gave me some comfort knowing that HCG and HPT have low correlation if hcg number levels are really low. but also still weariness as well cause I’m anticipating my next hcg draw.

My hcg number is also exactly the same as yours, and experiencing the same stagnant progression. Hugs and love, as we get through it together.

Oh wow, indeed very similar. I don’t put much stock into line tests as in previous (TW sadly unsuccessful TFMR) I had lines that looked the same but hCG tripled. What worries me is the digital, that should pick up hCG higher than 25 and it did on Saturday, and 2 days later my betas are 32. Never thought I’d find myself hoping for a false positive but here we are.

Hugs to you too, girl. Hope it works out for the best for the both of us x
