CB digital overestimating!

Hi all,

You were all so helpful with my line eyes I thought I'd come back for my next question!

I took a CB digital just now (so not FMU) and it's showing 3+ weeks. I ovulated around or on 09/04/2018 which by my count would have me at 2-3 weeks on a CB digital, given they count from ovulation.

Has anyone else had a digital test overestimate their dates?

I would assume that for whatever reason, you just have a high level of HCG in your system.

From what I've read, they aren't pinpoint accurate for the weeks anyway.

Yeh ditto Stephisaur
You probably have a high level of HCG
Maybe it’s twins!!!!! 😍

Thanks guys - I have an early scan booked for 12th so I guess I'll find out more then. Eeek @MagicalCreatures twins actually run in both families so I had thought of that. I'm sure it'd be lovely but right now that's a terrifying prospect!

Haha I know the feeling. Twins run in both my sides too and I’m thinking of booking an early scan for around the same time. Mainly just to check there’s a heartbeat but I have this almighty fear of ‘oh there’s 2 in there’. Haha x

kaytees · 25/04/2018 13:47

@MagicalCreatures yep, that was my thinking! I did the same thing with DS and was sat there saying 'and there's definitely just one right!'. Early scans are expensive but worth it I reckon

Definitely worth the money. I’ve just booked mine for when I’ll be 6+4. Good luck x

kaytees · 25/04/2018 19:39

You too @MagicalCreatures - if we both end up with twins we can start a special thread! Ha x

Haha you betcha. Have you joined our December Babies thread. X

kaytees · 25/04/2018 20:23

I'm too nervous! Plus I may be due early January depending on what scan says...

Baby’s can come early too ya know 😃 I was nervous too but the ladies and the support on these threads are incredible.

kaytees · 26/04/2018 11:06

Haha yes my first did @MagicalCreatures - though if this one comes early it may well be xmas day! Let me know which December babies threads you recommend and I'll be brave and come over!

This one is for people who have suffered a previous loss.
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/3219951-bfps-after-mc-christmas-cake-for-christmas-babies-thread-1

And this one is the general December Babies thread
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/3211263-December-2018-babies?pg=3
I’m on both and quite a few other people are too.
The support is fantastic.
Going from my LMP my due date is actually Xmas day 😂 but I ovulate 2 days later so I’m going by the 27th.
Wishful thinking x
