Clearblue test is still saying 2-3 weeks when I should be 3+

As the title says, I should be 6 weeks along now. I did a clearblue digital a week ago today that said 2-3 weeks. Did another today and I’m still 2-3 weeks but should be 6 weeks along now.
I have had 2 miscarriages previously so I am terrified of it happening a 3rd time. I know testing won’t change the outcome but I guess I’m hoping I can prepare myself in some way!

I suppose what I am asking is, has anyone done this where it didn’t increase to 3+/didn’t increase when they thought it should but went on to successful pregnancies?

These tests are notoriously unreliable. Please ignore it and stop testing x

Stop testing. Wait for your scan at 12 weeks.

Your getting yourself worked up by testing which is not good for you. It's harder said than done but please stop relying on the tests , they aren't medical tests.

Doesn't it say on the box that the weeks indicator is only accurate for about 90% of people? Perhaps you are one of the 10%! HCG levels vary hugely person to person.

I'm sure people will be along with positive stories shortly (there will definitely be some as per the above everyone is different). But that won't tell you anything about your own pregnancy unfortunately. If you don't feel able to wait until 12 weeks, consider a private scan at 7 weeks or after.

Stop testing. Those tests are only meant to be a bit of fun, they're not a medical tool.

Really wish they would ban the damned things.

Making money off the backs of the anxious. Bloody disgusting these companies. Don't waste any more money on them.

I've read on here lots of people saying they never got a 3+ even when very heavily pregnant! X

I was in your position one week ago. The day after I had a scan and saw a heartbeat. It’s so hard to not get worked up but I’ve been there and done that and I bloody hate them tests x
