My first test line was very faint and I am worried whether hCG is low. I am waiting to repeat test and maybe blood work if doctor says. Is there anything that affects the level or is it just time?
I had a super faint line first and panicked, tested again after 3 days and it got darker. So you cant really raise it, just give it time. Anyone else had faint first?
Theres nothing you can do to increase it, the body produces it. If you are testing too early it shows low. Wait a few days, use morning sample, and a beta hcg blood test from a lab is most accurate. Ask your doctor.
You cant increase hcg, it rises on its own if you are pregnant. If test is faint just wait 2-3 days and test again with morning urine, levels go up naturally.
My doc said hcg doubles roughly every couple days in early pregnancy, theres no way to boost it. She suggested first morning urine for the strongest reading, and a blood test if I wanted exact numbers.
