Hi, I've been on the pill and had to take a pregnancy test before taking strong antibiotics for acne.
I did it last week and thought I saw a faint positive line so repeated with same brand of test today and it is a dark positive line.

I'm going to take again tomorrow but not sure how I can work how far gone I am as no period, and date of conception not clear.
Is Clear Blue with weeks quite accurate in other people's experience?
Tia :)

With a faint last week then strong this week you're probably no more than 6wk but only a scan could say for sure.
Clear blue are not accurate for weeks as hormone levels can vary too much. I would speak to your GP and ask for a referral to epau for a scan.

@Chelyanne Thank you for replying. What is Epau?

@Chelyanne Apologies, I've googled that. Thanks again

Agree with Chelyanne - if the first was faint then that would be pretty early on, so you probably aren't far.
CB with weeks is accuate-ish for some people, and for others it's useless. Everyone has such different HCG levels. Might give you a rough guide, and if that tied in with you being around 4 weeks when you got your faint line, it might be a clue you're in the ball park.
A scan would be better though!

@FeistySheep Thank you.
If I'm honest I don't know what I want to do and how far I am will play a part in my decision so need to figure that out ASAP - will get CB and check with GP
