clearblue with conception indicator

I used the clearblue conception indicator early this week and it came up 1-2weeks pregnant. Based on my dates I would have thought it would have come up 2-3 weeks by then so was a little shocked. I used the other test today expecting it to display 2-3 weeks but again it said 1-2 weeks but based on my last period and when I last DTD it should have at least displayed 2-3 weeks or even 3+ by now. Each time I used my FMU.

I am now really worried my pregnancy is not progressing. Has anyone else had the same happen?

Read the instructions. 1-2 is not 1-2 weeks pregnant. It's 1-2 weeks since conception. So if you test on the day you are due or earlier and you have a 28 day cycle the result will be 1-2 weeks.l which means you are 3-4 weeks pregnant. Try not to read to much into it. Your pregnant, congrats.

Don't worry about it. Even the packet says the conception indicator is only 80% accurate or something. You are pregnant, that's what the test tells you. Stop testing.

Thanks guys. I tested again because I am neurotic and it came up 2-3 weeks which I am relieved about. These particular tests are a great idea but so worrying!

They're not a great idea, they're a nightmare, completely inaccurate and just lead to anxiety. You could have spent a £1 and found out you were pregnant but have now pissed on £30 just to try and alay the fears the bloody tests caused in the first place.

I spent bloomin fortune on those tests in my first pregnancy and worried myself sick because the 2-3 and 3+ didn't happen on time. I think I finally got my 2-3 when I was 5 weeks and 3 days yet my DD1 was absolutely fine and growing away quite happily in there. I probably spent more than £50 on those stupid bloody things. I'm quite cross they can still sell them tbh
