hi everyone, just wondered what you all think of the cb test on a scale of 1 to 10 as i have done loads with fmu and although it should say 3+ it keeps coming up 2-3 and after a mmc last year its done nothing but worry me further Hmm what do you think?

I think lots of people find them to be inaccurate... not terribly so, but inaccurate none-the-less.

I was thinking about this last night as I'm considering taking one to see if I'm 'progressing' to, and my thought was this: does it indicate (accurately or not) from conception, or implantation? I would assume implanation as once that's completed (in and of itself can take about fours days) is when the hcg starts filtering into our systems. Obviously, this can make quite a big difference to the indicator, especially for someone who perhaps ovulated a little late in their cycle and also implanted late.

I know my O date as I was charting (five dyas PAST the 'average'), and I know implantation must have begun by 6 days past O as I had some spotting... but most women wouldn't have that information.

I would say that, in theory, you can get the 2-3 weeks result for two weeks entirely - have you passed that mark?

And of course, you could always speak to your GP about an early reassurance scan given your history - I know I would in your shoes.

Hopefully everything's just fine - there are quite a few variable with these tests - and I look forward to hearin good news from you!

i found the ones i used completely accurate, but also wouldnt take them to be 100% because we all know what things like this can be like and it drives us bananas

mine were completely accurate. my DH did not believe it was pregnant and i was doing them on a weekly basis and they were progressing further.
