Confused. How many weeks?

8 replies

Confused about how many weeks I am.

Clear blue digital says 2-3 weeks. I have long cycles (36 days) - period not due til next Monday / Tuesday according to my app. I think I had implantation on 9th March as I had cramps and pink spotting that day.

Clear blue would mean 4 - 5 weeks. Period due date would be 3 weeks?

Any help appreciated!

I'm don't think you'll know for sure until you go for your dating scan

You're right of course @1sttimeDD but just wondered what people's thoughts were.

Midwives go off the first day of your last period (LMP) until you have a dating scan and then use that date

Oh this always confused me, GP and midwife will go off the first day of your last period until you get to 12week scan.
I remember taking clear blue test which said 1-2 weeks, going to see the GP and he said 5 weeks and I was like what???? Then he explained that they take from first day of last period 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've tried dating it from LMP and with my long cycle it's 3 weeks. But clear blue result adds 1-2 weeks to that.

@workinprogressmum clear blue uses the level of HCG in your urine, it has always been right for me so id say 2/3 means 4-5 weeks xx

But if your cycles are long, did your LMP not start ~30 days ago which would make you 4-5 weeks by that date? Which would align with Clearblue?
