I had a miss in January and I found out on Saturday I've fallen again I've taken a clear blue and it says 2-3 weeks can someone try and help out the date please or round about date? I'm sorry I'm new to working out the dates

Well, theoretically sometime between 2-9 February then. Clearblue does it from conception. In weeks, you'd be 4-5 weeks pregnant then, as you add two weeks so it dates from your last period.

In reality, Clearblue just measures hCG levels and once it reaches a certain threshold, it shows the next category (2-3 weeks, 3+ weeks, etc). But in my case of pregnancy, my hCG levels were extremely high from the beginning so it wasn't a very accurate calculation. You'll really need a dating ultrasound to be sure.

Congratulations, btw.

Add two weeks to what clearblue says. The instructions say it dates from conception, but pregnancies are (confusingly) dates from your last period (in an ideal world where you have a 28 day cycle this is two weeks before ovulation/ conception.

I haven't had Af since December the 1st and they said my hormones would still be high anyway this is so confusing

You don't need to have had a period necessarily. I didn't. Just follow what I wrote about. You're 4-5 weeks pregnant, with a date between 2-9 February for conception. Use that until you get a clearer answer from your dating scan.
