Hi, I had my last period on the 3rd September 2014. I conceived on the 17th sept 14. Didca clear blue digital pregnancy test on the 15th October said 1-2 weeks. Did another 21st October said 2-3 weeks. Did another today 1st November (around 1pm had 4wees already) still says 2-3 weeks. Panicking loads is my baby ok? Has anyone else had this? What wete the outcomes? Advice needed thanks in advance xx

I'm sure other folks will post but I've read threads before that talk about clear blue digital tests being known for not always going up when they should despite babies going on to develop well and normally. I know it sounds daft but try not to worry too much - if you still feel pretty much as pregnant as you did yesterday symptoms wise (even if you just feel tired and have slightly sore boobs as the nausea might not have kicked it yet) the odds are that everything is absolutely fine. Even if your symptoms have shifted slightly they are likely to return tomorrow as they can really fluctuate from day to day.

Mine went from 3+ back down to 2-3 (I'd bought a two pack so thought why not) at which point I decided to step away from the tests. Now 27 weeks, all is well.

Cb basically will only go to a certain number of weeks max so it won't keep increasing with pg weeks

Don't know about clearblue but I was testing using internet cheapies and the line kept getting fainter the further on I was. I panicked. I read online that if you dilute your urine the result would be a stronger result. So I did it. I diluted my wee with some water and the test line was MUCH stronger, in fact it got stronger the more dilute my wee was. There comes a point where the concentration of hormone in your wee is too strong for a test to find or something. Hopefully this helps you be reassured.

I had one pregnancy that showed as bfp early with a thick line and clear blue thing went up consistently. I had a mmc.

Next pregnancy I didn't get bfp until I was a week late and clear blue thing went down. Now have a year old ds.

I know it's easy to say but please just disregard them. Worrying makes no difference to outcome anyway. Today you are pregnant :)
