How long does it take for HCG levels to increase and when can you expect a dark pink line instead of a faint one?

Question

I am currently 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I'm curious about how long it typically takes for HCG levels to rise, and when can I expect to see a dark pink line on a pregnancy test instead of a faint one? Can anyone share their experiences?

Answer 1

Each woman is different I will tell you this it took me i would say about a month a couple weeks for two dark lines to show up every pregnancy test was negative before that and then when I got my first one back positive I was unsure so I tried 13 times.. yes I did say I did take 13 tests lol. Here I am almost 36 weeks. So each woman like I said is different my hcg level wasn't high enough until abit over a month of a late period.

Okay cool. Thank you so much. Ive read somewhere that spotting and bleeeding lets out the hormone so I was thinking maybe that had to do with It becayse I was spotting around that time. Was just unsure,  I took a test at one day late an got a faint line so decided to wait about 5days to try another (1$ DG test-because well I'm broke) and it was negative so Im just really confused  cuz i was expecting it to be double the darkness. I had read something about cryptic pregnancy which I didnt assume was happening but kept into consideration. But if there Is a baby in my oven ,  I should be 6 weeks 4days according to my dates and this app. Just don't wann call any Dr. Or make any appointments WO a better clarification from home. Thank u.

See I can't help on the bleeding/spotting part cause I actually am one of the women who never had that happen when I got pregnant instead I found out cause I thought I had the flu for over a month cause I couldn't keep food down lol. And if it makes you feel better trust me I tried all types of pregnancy tests even ones from the dollar stores cause yes even I was broke trying to afford them so I understand, the best result is through a blood test but if ever in doubt go to a doctor recommend a blood test normally they do a pee test first but if you ask for a blood test they will do it and that one is always 100% accurate. Sometimes it takes women a month or longer to show up for a positive test either just give it some time or within the next few weeks ask for either test from a doctor! Cause if you are 6 weeks pregnant then it should hopefully show on a pee test or blood.

Answer 2

6weeks I'm now 3 months pregnant and 13 weeks and 3days 

Answer 3

I am currently 4 weeks 4 days, and took lots of test the month my period was 2 days late  (November 20ish 2019) and didn't get a DARK positive until 2 days ago (12/13/2019). Missed period.

Answer 4

I got my dark line the first time I took a test and that was 4 days after I missed my pees so approximately 3-4weeks of pregnancy

Actually it appeared the day I expected the period

Answer 5

Hi there 

I took a pregnancy test a week later after conception because we planned it. 

For the first time both lines were dark pink,  not knowing that I was going to be having twins. 

Well I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow. My due date is on May 26, 2020.
