13dp5dt Clearblue only says 1-2weeks!

Hi,

First IVF round with ICSI. Today was my official test day at 13dp5dt. I've had some faint and some dark positive pregnancy tests from 9dp5dt. I've been trying to stay positive and believe that I am pregnant, however today I took a clearblue expecting it to say 2-3 weeks and it only says 1-2!
My conception date was 17 days ago and technically I am now 4+4 (conception 2+4 weeks ago). Has anyone else had this and not ended up having a chemical pregnancy? I'm sure my HCG should be a lot lighter by now.
I'll attach a pic.
These are all today. I pee'd at about 2am (couldn't hold it) then done the test at about 5:30am but didn't drink anything since way before going to bed.
Top one is CB
Middle is my IVF clinic sensitivity 25
Bottom is boots own ?? Not sure on sensitivity.
Can't help but feel really anxious.

What a wonderful thread, I'm so pleased for you. I had an anxious bleedy ivf pregnancy and what you went through sounds even tougher. Shes a little fighter, these ivf babies bring so much joy so enjoy your new baby bubble!

@PeggySand

She finally arrived quite late at Term +13 by emergency cesarean due to failure to progress in labour (I was stuck at 2cm for over 24hrs). She is absolutely perfect and we are on cloud 9. I really am thinking of anyone who is going through a tough fertility journey. I can't believe she's finally here. Good luck to everyone. Xx
Congratulations to you all and your little family 🥰

I've just come across this thread as I'm 4+5 and clear blue says 1-2 and I've scared myself silly. Not ivf but still this thread has reassured me so much. Huge congratulations OP!

@PeggySand ahhh just read all your posts from the start. What a rollercoaster.
Enjoy the anticipation and chill time. I’m so excited for you which is kinda weird given I’m a complete stranger. But ahhhhh so lovely and exciting.
💕

MrsC2018 · 06/02/2022 09:23

Sorry, that's should read that I'm measuring small, but most importantly that the heart rate is slow

MrsC2018 · 06/02/2022 09:21

Sorry, my daughter just launched herself at me to make me sent that early! Anyway you get the gist - good luck and I hope my pregnancy works out like yours has ♥️

MrsC2018 · 06/02/2022 09:18

@PeggySand I've just read your story, I'm so glad things worked out for you. Absolute best of luck for this week and hope the next sweep works for you ♥️ my 14 month old is an IVF miracle so I understand how this year has been for you.
I'm in a funny similar situation in some ways so it's brought a lot of comfort to read your path this morning. I'm currently pregnant with a shock natural conception and on the scan on Tuesday when I should have been 6+4 I was measuring 6+1 and have been told that it's either because the heart has just started beating or that the pregnancy isn't viable and I'll miscarry. Such a rollercoaster to get a positive test

Hi everyone,
I'm currently now 6 days overdue with little miss stubborn!!
Had a sweep on Friday at 40+4 I've got another sweep booked for Tuesday at 41+1 and then an induction booked for Saturday 12th at 41+5
It's so crazy how different I feel now to when I started this thread. I can remember the desperation I felt and now I'm just sitting here watching hours of re-runs of friends waiting for her to arrive!
I do hope you're all well and that for anyone who was/is going through a similar experience it is all working out OK. Xx

Just read this thread OP. I am so pleased. Congratulations ❤️

Holskey · 01/11/2021 00:52

Thank you for updating this thread! I read along and got so invested 😂 What an awful experience you had. I'm so glad your pregnancy developed well.

I have an IVF baby and I didn't buy anything until after 30 weeks either. I'm 4+6 now and terrified of the scan!

All the best for the rest of your pregnancy. You definitely deserve it!

Bundaberg84 · 31/10/2021 22:37

One final update. Again, for anyone reading this in the future. I'm now 27 weeks we are having a baby girl. Everything looks perfect on scans and she's wriggling around in there like crazy.
I'm yet to buy any baby things because I'm still a bit fearful of the worst but when I reach 30 weeks we'll have to do some serious shopping.
I hope anyone reading this is well and finds hope in my story.
Thank you all again for the amazing support.

The dating is only confirmed when you do an ultrasound. Sometimes the dating is just off but since you did IVF so you know exactly when you ovulated. But regardless clearblue won't give you an accurate picture. You will be performing your hcg test and then around 6 weeks an ultrasound to verify the heartbeat and viability.

StuntNun · 18/06/2021 15:49

Fantastic news @PeggySand and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

DappledOliveGroves · 18/06/2021 15:40

@PeggySand that's such lovely news! So pleased for you!
