Clear blue says 2-3 weeks

Hi everyone,

My clear blue has been stuck on 2-3 weeks for over a week and I've been testing positive for about two weeks on tests. The apps are calculating that I'm 4w5d from my last period but my cycles are irregular. Can anyone shine a light on how far along I might actually be ? My last period started feb 3rd. I currently have covid so can't go for a scan and I'm just really confused about how far along I am. I feel nauseous no appetite sore boobs and hypersensitive about my stomach like I'm really aware of every sensation and cramp.

Any help would be appreciated :)

There's a huge range for 2-3 weeks between 153 and 2753 according to the instructions. So your hcg may well be going up fine and just still be in that huge range.

2-3 means 4-5 weeks pregnant on those tests as they count from conception and that's not how a pregnancy is dated.

As pp said, the range is huge from 2-3 to 3+. I didn't do another clearblue digital after I got 2-3 as I know someone women have said they never got it.
If it helps, at 4w+6d my hcg was 1503 so if you really want that 3+ maybe just wait a few days :)

So In effect I could either be 4w5d like it says or further along then if the dates aren't reliable ?

2-3 weeks is correct based on your app as it means 4-5. But those tests arnt dead set and if your unsure of your dates you could be a little further ahead, which seems most likely if you’ve been testing positive for 2 weeks already. I’d stay away from those tests OP, they are just anxiety inducing

Yep, as pointed out 2-3 on CB weeks indicator is about right for where you would be from LMP. A scan this early wouldn't help either as you generally can't see much at all until after 6 weeks anyway. And then the pregnancy won't be officially dated until your 12-week scan, up to then they'll just go with your LMP.

Hey, if it helps, I remember my MW said they all hate those tests, they cause so much stress when they don't "progress" in weeks.

Mine didn't - but the kiddos were all very much there and are sitting safely at school now Smile

I got a bit fixated with this in the earlier weeks of my pregnancy so I decided to stop using them as they were driving me mad, and I booked in for an early reassurance scan as soon as I was able to (I had mine at 7+4). It is hard to force yourself not to buy those tests any more but I wasn't getting anything positive out of taking them so it made sense for me to stop x

2-3 is weeks from conception which means 4-5 weeks pregnant

Good evening ladies. Me and my partner are debate. Our test was 2-3 on the 6 of March (1-2 day before) does this mean we made the gift on valentines day or end of January.. (we have ironing next Sunday riding on who is right) 🙈

i done 2 cheap pt last Monday . 3 days late had 2 very strong positive results asap ..Thursday I done a cb and it came back 3+ weeks . Done a cb again. This morning and it’s now saying 2-3 .. any idea what is happening ? I had 2 periods in December? Well definitely the beginning and I don’t really remember the one at the end of December but I definitely bled ? I’m just so confused on how many weeks I am ? Or why the tests are saying different dates ?

@northernsunshine I now have a healthy happy 6 month old boy. It's really hard but try to ignore the weeks and go with the positive. My midwife said it could have been due to low hormone levels at the time I took my test. Good luck! (I'm MP89 but it won't let me log in!?!)
