Clearblue Digital

We got our BFP yesterday on a clearblue test, very definite line and tested again this morning and I think slightly darker. I have done a digital yesterday and today and it is saying 1-2 weeks. I am 11dp5dt today, we transferred two embryos. Should I be testing 2-3 weeks?

Thanks @Gardenlady543 we got out day 14 bloods back and they were 851after 60 so doubling every 41.32 hours. I think this sounds good. But now am wondering are the doubling too fast

@try9ng no that sounds absolutely fine, I think you said first beta was 12dp5dt (17dpo) at 150, median beta at that point is 434 on beta base, so when they start off at the lower end they do tend to increase faster vs those who start high and have a slower doubling rate. 14dp5dt (19dpo) median is 929. So you're doing fine.

My doubling rate was pretty slow, I doubled over 3 days rather than 2, but my pregnancy has been fine.

Sorry I meant 311 not 150.

@Gardenlady543 thanks for your reply. My 12dp5dt was actually 311 and then went up to 851 on day 14 but test was evening instead of morning so roughly 60 hours. I really should stop googling! It will be along wait until our first scan

@try9ng

Mine were:

8dp5dt (13dpo) 94.1
10dp5dt (15 dpo) 152

Doubling time 69 hours
48 hour increase 61.5%

14dp5dt 477

Doubling time 58 hours
48 hour increase 77%

I drove myself mad, bye every scan has been fine. I would stop the blood tests now and wait for the scan. When is your scan booked in for, I had mine at 6.5 weeks.

@Gardenlady543 you are right I am going to stop the bloods and tests as I am driving myself mad. Our scan is 21st so we will be 7w4days by then. I was considering paying for a private scan at 6 weeks but it's only another week

@try9ng my clinic don't do a scan until 8 weeks, so I arranged one with ultrasound direct at 6 weeks 3 days.

try9ng · 04/11/2023 20:42

@Gardenlady543 do you think it put your mind at ease? I'm afraid if I start paying for scans I will be doing it every couple of weeks lol. How far along are you now?

@try9ng I think 6.5 weeks is a good time to have the first scan as you should be able to see the sac, yolk sac and fetal pole with heart beat. I was very worried about a blighted ovum or non uterine pregnancy so I wanted to get a scan asap. I actually then did a huge amount of scans, pretty much every week. I'm 30 weeks now. Just had another scan today :)

That's great you are well on now. It's definitely nice to see them on a scan for peace of mind. I couldn't cope with just 2 on NHS. I'm debating with DH whether we should book one x
