Are my hcg levels too low? Should I be concerned

Hi. I'm apparently 6+5 going by the date of my last period. I thought I might get a 3+ off the clearblue digital but I only got a 2-3. Should I be worried? I've taken other tests in past weeks and they've all been kinda faint. I got my first faint positive the day before I missed my period and the lines have got a bit stronger but still they've all been quite faint. I've had a virtual booking appt so obviously nothing could be checked so I'm just going off hpt and it's first time for me so I just wondered if this is something to be concerned about

Hey,
I'm no expert but I'd advise not to test again. I've heard that these tests can be inaccurate and bring so much anxiety. It's so much better in my view to believe that youre pregnant, and not to be concerned unless you see blood/ cramps. (Even then it doesn't always mean the worst) anxiety is never good for the body and wondering about levels etc will cause it. If you Google hcg levels, you'll see charts where the min. And max. Levels vary soooo much... That these tests can never be 100% and have to take an average benchmark xx

To be honest you're gut instinct is usually the right one - are you able to get an early scan or a blood hcg test anywhere? Clearblue accurately predicted 4 of my miscarriages however they aren't really designed to be taken after about 5 weeks or so as really high hcg levels can throw the test off and you end up getting a 2-3 weeks in error

Thank you for the advice guys. I'm going to try and stop worrying so much before I end up really worked up and upsetting myself for no reason, putting it down to a wobbly couple of days and too much Internet
