Digital test

[W1ll0wx]

Quick question, I'm a first time mum and last Friday we did a test and found out were pregnant! On the Saturday I did a digital one to be sure and it came back pregnant 1-2. I rang the midwife and they put me at 3-4 weeks going off the date of my last period, but today I did another digital test (8 days after the first) and it still puts me at 1-2. How far along would you say I am? Thanks for the help!!

Until your dating scan you use the first day of your last period and count the weeks from there 🙂
Don't rely on the "weeks digis" for dating!

Digitals count from the conception date eg approx ovulation, midwife's and the NHS count from last period so 1-2 on a digital IS 3-4 by midwife standards.

Personally I would ban digis as they are basically a scam (they have a simple line test in them and a computer that displays different words whether or not there is a second line - so no more official than a line test), and the weeks ones are not particularly reliable and cause a lot of anxiety!

Thanks everyone!
