CB digital saying 1-2 weeks when I'm almost 5? Anyone had this and not ended in miscarriage?

Hi all,

I'm 4+5 days and did two CB digitals which are still coming back as 1-2 weeks. I found out a week ago I was pregnant and it said 1-2 weeks then! When I do normal pregnancy tests the lines are getting slightly darker but not as dark as they should be at 19DPO? After reading all the forums, it seems when this happens a lot of women go on to having miscarriages and I'm so terrified.
To add to this, I've also just checked my cervix and it's low and open..... last night it was so high I couldn't feel it. My symptoms also feel like they aren't as strong? My boobs aren't as sore, I'm no longer bloated and I just don't know what to make of it.

Has anyone had similar and gone on to find out everything is fine?

Thank you xx

Not similar but I got pregnant straight after a mc and took one of these tests to date the pregnancy because I hadn't had a period to work out the dates.

When I phoned the midwife and told her I'd used one of these tests she told me they aren't reliable or accurate. At one point my cervix was also really low and I thought I was having another mc. Im 27 weeks now.

Hope this helps you worry less.

You add 2 weeks onto the digital ones so you're 3-4 weeks

Thank you for this! It's reassured me, I had read a few post saying they aren't accurate and they are meant to be banned in US due to the amount of complaints about them. I hope this is the case for me xx

Yeah I know you add 2 weeks on, so last week when it said 1-2 weeks I was 3+4 and this week I'm 4+5 and it's still saying 1-2 weeks xxx

Just adding to this because I know when I was searching for answers online, I always liked to see the outcome at the end of the thread.

My case did end up in miscarriage at 7 weeks exactly. I had multiple scans that all showed an empty gestational sac and no baby or yolk sac. The sonographer even told me to take a clear blue weeks indicator test to see how many weeks I was. I had to laugh and said I've already taken a few and they all said 1-2 weeks, and I was told "yes that's worrying"

So yes, in my case it did reflect my low HCG levels. Sorry to anyone who reads this and is going through the same thing xx
