I'd love to help, but I'm not able to. My baby brain isn't working properly.

I wouldn't rely too much on how many weeks the clear blue said you was.
If you knew your last period date, an online when's my baby due calculator would give you a rough idea of conception.

Heirhelp · 12/03/2016 19:04

Clear blue are not accurate at dating. They date from conception so they are suggesting you conceived between the 2nd and9th feb. From these dates you can't really tell.

Heirhelp · 12/03/2016 19:06

An online conception calculator would only tell you when somebody with a typical 28 day cycle would have probably conceived. Even if you have a typical 28 day cycle, when you ovulate within your cycle may not be typical.

Owllady · 12/03/2016 19:08

Oh dear

Sophia1984 · 12/03/2016 19:09

So the Clearblue tests actually tell you how long it is since you conceived, not how many weeks pregnant you are (which is calculated from LMP)

If you have a 28 day cycle, your ovulation dates for February would be between 14 - 19 Feburary. If you conceived on the 14th, then it would be just over 3 weeks since you conceived by the time you tested on the 8th. It seems unlikely that you would have ovulated between the 17th-22nd but conceived on the 30th, so I would guess it's your OH. Also, by 8th March, CB would be showing 3+ weeks since conception in January.

Pinkheart5915 · 12/03/2016 19:10

You might end up needing a Dna test. Does your oh know there may be some confusion over who's the dad?

Lweji · 12/03/2016 19:12

When was your last period?

Lweji · 12/03/2016 19:15

Ups, should have read the OP better.

If your ovulation dates were 17th-22nd January, it's more likely that you'd have got pregnant by sex on the 14th. That would mean your OH.
Assuming you did get a period early in February.

meatliqour · 12/03/2016 19:15

I had this problem. Only a DNA test will put your mind at rest

Lweji · 12/03/2016 19:17

The clearblue dates would give 14th of February to the 21st, roughly, as well.

lminch1990 · 12/03/2016 20:03

I do think I had a period first week in febuary but with all the worry I've totally forgotten :( I did a test aswell about the 2nd or 3rd week of Feb and it was negative but on the 8th of march was positive, I also have my ovulation dates written down for Feb which was between 12 - 17th surely I wouldn't of known these if I hadn't of had a period in Feb I think I'm just being paranoid I've booked in for a reassurance scan for when I'm 8 weeks to see if that will help my mind x

SoupDragon · 12/03/2016 20:11

Can you think of anything specific you did in the first week of Feb and then think about whether you had to faff about with tampons due to your period?

lminch1990 · 12/03/2016 20:13

I cnt no but this might sound nasty but i looked in bathroom bin as have a big one dnt empty every week so to say and their was sanitary towels in their which i know I wouldn't of kept since January i would of emptied it but the negative preg test and towels were in their so I'm sure they were from Feb (ps I've emptied now lol)

OP posts:

mrschatty · 12/03/2016 20:19

From (my basic and rough) calculations I would say the Feb DTD so your OH but you'll never know without a test...congratulations and all the best

lminch1990 · 12/03/2016 20:19

Also clear blue would of said 3+ for Jan guy and my period would of had to of been.. at least 2 weeks prior to having se x with him to be able to concieve with him so doctor would of been saying at least 10 weeks pregnant if going by my January one wouldn't they? Assuming I didn't have a Feb one it just doesn't add up but I'm Still over thinking

lminch1990 · 12/03/2016 20:43

Thank you everyone for your speedy replies I do think I'm being a little paranoid and it is the guys from the 14th just nice tohave second opinions x

OP posts:

Casmama · 12/03/2016 20:50

Almost certainly your oh except for the fact you took a test in the second week of Feb- strange if you had just had your period. Did you use contraception with either?

CrazyMary · 12/03/2016 21:00

You need to add 2 weeks to the cb test results (2-3 + 2weeks =estimate 4-5 weeks pregnant).
8th March - 1 week = 1st March (5 weeks pregnant)
1st March - 1 week = 23rd February (4 weeks pregnant)
23rd February - 1 week = 16th February (3 weeks pregnant)
16th February -1 week = 9th February (2 weeks pregnant)
9th February -1 week = 2nd February (If the test is correct, this (2nd Feb) is probably about the time of your last period, which would indicate you probably conceived about 2 weeks later (16th February) meaning your oh is the father. A dating scan before 12 weeks is probably most accurate to detect exactly how many weeks/days you are.

CrazyMary · 12/03/2016 21:04

The results are based on hormone levels (level expected if pregnant since conception). I'm not sure how accurate the time guideline is, but your dates look good

TattieHowkerz · 13/03/2016 09:52

Seems likely to be your OH but your scan at 8 weeks should be able to give you a reliable date.

lminch1990 · 13/03/2016 11:02

Thank you for your replies everyone x

OP posts:

lminch1990 · 13/03/2016 11:49

I use contraception with the first but it broke :/ typical ! Also I think I remember the test I took was after the sex on the 14th but think it was to early to test but surely it would shown positive for the one on the 30th of it was him ? Thanku crazy Mary that was helpful :) xx

I think the cb show up up to 3/4 days before period is due, if you dtd the test 16+ days after dtd on 30th and it was negative, there is a better chance you got pregnant on or around the 14th Feb. Conception takes about 2 weeks to show up on a test so try not to worry too much. Looks like you're having a November baby!! 💖🎅Congratulations The Baby Centre do a really cool pregnancy tracking app.

DropYourSword · 14/03/2016 05:53

Just remember that when you have your scan and it says that you are, for example, 8 weeks pregnant, that it means you are 8 weeks from the first day of your last period, NOT 8 weeks from conception. That has confused a lot of people!

lminch1990 · 14/03/2016 12:57

Yes the dates have confused me the since conception and since lmp got me all in a flap my scan is booked for the 31st so ill let you know the results thanks for your help xx
