how much hcg for dye stealer

Yes but I have also read so many threads from women absolutely breaking their hearts with worry because their tests are slightly lighter than they were the day before, or have stopped “progressing” once they have got past the squinter phase, and they went on to have healthy pregnancies – no reason to worry at all. (I totally understand why they did, and am not criticising looking for info in these horrible “limbo” weeks – I 100% get it – I had early miscarriages.)

You are probably right that extremely faint > matching control line > so strong it “steals dye” from control line are indicative of different hCG levels but it is just not that sensitive a tool, and even if you have a singleton pregnancy, the hCG level at 6 weeks is so much higher than the threshold of the test, it would not be unusual to get a “strong” positive – and equally, if you don’t get a “strong” positive at this point it’s not a reason to worry.

If you do want an idea of your rough hCG level the digital tests will display this if you look up the thresholds – but again – very very inaccurate tool – don’t use one if it’s likely to make you worry.

I used to obsess over this site a lot, and it shows you the normal levels and how much they can vary:

https://www.babymed.com/normal-hcg-blood-level-by-week-during-pregnancy Does a fast-rising hCG signal twins?You cannot diagnose a twin pregnancy just from the hCG. There is no sufficient scientific evidence that with twins there is always a faster-than-usual rise in hCG. Normal hCG values can vary up to 20 times in normal pregnancies. Variations in hCG increases are not necessarily a sign that the pregnancy is abnormal or that there are two or more fetuses. Normal amount of serum hCG levels by weeks 3 weeks: 5-50 mIU/cc 4 weeks: 4-426 mIU/cc 5 weeks: 19-7,340 mIU/cc 6 weeks: 1,080-56,500 mIU/cc 7 – 8 weeks: 7,650-229,000 mIU/cc 9 – 12 weeks: 25,700-288,000 mIU/cc 13 – 16 weeks: 13,300-254,000 mIU/cc 17 – 24 weeks: 4,060-165,400 mIU/cc 25 – 40 weeks: 3,640-117,000 mIU/cc
