Cb weeks indicator

I should be 6+2 today. I have used the CB with weeks indicator to try and give myself peace of mind. Did one last week said 2-3 although it should've said 3+ weeks but I didn't stress. Re did again yesterday and it still says 2-3 weeks. I know they're not the most accurate but I've had 2 mc's and last time I mc I used one and at 5/6 weeks it was coming up as 1-2 weeks which the doctor explained was because the hcg was so low. I'm just worrying its happening again. Had some spotting a couple of weeks ago but my CB weeks increased and boobs have been really tender. Am I being silly worrying about nothing or should I try and get blood tests done to assure me.

Honestly I would step away from they’re not an accurate way to test the health of a pregnancy. If you’re anxious book an early reassurance scan (groupon usuallybhave deals).

Pregnancy tests are designed to tell you yes or no your pregnant not a way to track how it’s developing. I know it’s hard especially with losses and if you’re anxious it seems reassuring but especially those CB weeks ones drive women mad.

I had 3+ with my first pregnancy and miacarried. Never got past 2-3 with DS2 and he’s currently 8 months old playing with me

@Mintypea5 thank you! I planned to arrange a scan for 8 weeks. So will arrange one next week.

It’s such a worrying time I know but I’m sure you’ll feel much better after a scan. Good luck with it x

Yeah hopefully it'll put my mind at ease!
