Clear blue digital help

I did a clear blue digital with fmu on Saturday and it said 2-3 weeks, I did one 5 days later hoping for 3+ but it said 1-2 weeks. That was also with fmu. Has anyone had this before? If so how did it turn out?
My doctor took bloods yesterday but won't do a second set as they said the digitalis aren't that reliable, I'm terrified I'm going to loose this baby.
I've booked an early scan for Monday when I should be 6w3d because I need to know what's happening.
I've not got any pain or bleeding and no reason to think anything's wrong other that the tests - I wish I'd not done it but can't undo it now
Thanks if you get this far!

@movinghomeagain it might be the hook effect. I took a FRER at 5+3 and the line was lighter, after some research on the hook effect I diluted my urine and the test was darker again. When your HCG is very high it can overwhelm the tests. Could you book a private scan for some reassurance?

Thanks
I've booked a private scan for Monday when I should be 6w3d to see what's happening
I've tried watering my wee down but only have some really cheap strip tests which don't seem to get any darker regardless of which wee I use
I refuse to buy any more digital ones for now!
Waiting for the blood results which will hopefully be back today and then will see what the scan says on Monday!
I'm trying to stay positive but also preparing myself to hear that there's nothing there

@movinghomeagain Sorry you did say you have a scan booked 🤦🏼‍♀️ When I did mine, it was a lot more water and just a tiny bit of urine. Top picture was the morning and bottom picture was with a little bit of urine. The control is darker than the test line again. Safe to say I didn’t do anymore tests after this!

It would help if I attached the photo!

Unfortunately when I had issues like this it turned out to be a MMC. However I read plenty of stories at the time where people had been fine.

Thank you!
I'll try with a lot of water and a little wee

Sorry about your mmc, I'm trying to stay positive but have to admit it's hard and the thought of a mc is heartbreaking

Well I didn't make it to the scan tomorrow because I've started bleeding - enough to know I've lost the baby, trying to process it all, thanks for your replies
