hi everyone, I got my BFP last wednesday and digi said pregnant 1-2 weeks, it will be one week since tomorrow ,I tested this morning and still says 1-2 weeks. I am getting a bit worried that my HCG levels not going up. Anyone has any experience with these tests? I think I need assurance that it's all ok.

dont worry lovely they are not a fab indicator of the HCG and whilst it said 1-2 weeks you may have been at the beginning of this time or just very nearly coming into your 2-3?
i would wait 2 weeks between testing to see your increases

The weeks indicator is only like 60% accurate (if that) so don't place much faith in it. They don't even sell them in the US, partly because of how unreliable they are. It depends a lot on when you implanted. If you tested at what it would consider 1 week, and it's only been a week, you could still be at 2 weeks, so still in their 1-2 threshold. Your urine could be more dilute too.
thanks girls, I am terrified of a miscarriage as it took nearly a year conceive this baby. I booked myself for an early scan at 7 weeks to get reassurance.
Also I am not feeling too sick either, I mean a little bit different like food aversions but nothing like proper morning sickness. I can't remember from my other pregnancy but maybe the sickness will come later not that I want it to lol but they say its a good indication of a healthy pregnancy, what do you think?

I know how you feel having several MC in my past, its such a worrying time!
just remember everyone is different, sickness is no indicator of a good or bad pregnancy x my mum had none with me and the worst with my brother.
You just try and think as positively as you can and look forward to your scan chick, i had an early scan at 6 and then 8 weeks to make sure things we ok and it did help

Like everyone has said it's not a good indication that levels are falling, or that they aren't rising. All depends on urine strength so really doesn't mean much to get a test go down or not go up a week. One of our girls in the July mummies had her test go down a week I remember, and it meant absolutely nothing. You'll probably find if you test next week it would go up.
As to sickness, wth my daughter I didn't get anything until 10 weeks and barely anything the entire pregnancy. This baby it was horrendous, both girls, so every pregnancy really is different, don't let that worry you at all xx
