Clear blue weeks not progressing

Hi all,
So this is my first pregnancy after IVF. Am supposed to be 5w4d and am getting strong lines on first response tests however I have done the clear blue weeks test twice which shows 1-2 weeks at 4w5d and again this morning. Should I be worried it is not progressing?? I have a 7week scan in just over a week but the wait is sending my anxiety through the roof!! I used FMU but am up several times a night to wee.
Had anyone else had this happen and should I be concerned?
Thanks

These tests can not give indication of a viable pregnancy. If you are up for the loo several times a night then your urine will have lower concentrations of the hormones. I wouldn't worry too much and keep everything crossed that all looks good on your scan. Good luck

Thank you for the reassurance. The waiting is so hard!!

Hey, this happened to me and I was also worried. But it did eventually change, much later than I expected. I’m now nearly 14 weeks, very healthy baby and am annoyed at myself for how worried I got about it.

I hope that helps your anxiety a bit, these weeks indicators are not good for mental health so go easy on yourself. I hope you have a wonderfully healthy pregnancy ❤️

This happened to me and unfortunately it wasn't a good outcome. But those tests are notoriously dodgy so I hope it's just that Daffodil

Unfortunately clearblue Digitals with weeks accurately predicted most of my miscarriages - the only ones they were wrong on were my 12 week loss and my ectopics

That being said it's also possible for yourself hcg to be so high that it can throw the test off

Hi op. The way you have worked it out sounds right. No matter if the clear blue says 1-2 weeks, doctors add on the extra 2 weeks which will make you 4+ weeks. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I wish you all the best

1-2 weeks is only a hcg of between 10 and 153 which is too low for 5w4d unfortunately

2-3 weeks is 153-2753 or thereabouts - the upper level being roughly a 5 week pregnancy

@andivfmakes3
Thanks for your input. I'm just going by my own experience

I have had this happen twice and had both a bad and a good outcome.
Hope it’s a good one for you x

Thanks for all your responses, bad and good. I guess there’s nothing to do now except wait and see what happens. The anxiety in the process is hard to deal with!
