Are the clear blue "weeks" tests worth it?

Just found out I'm pregnant, are the clear blue tests that indicate how many weeks pregnant you are, worth it? Are they accurate? Is it only up to a certain amount of weeks it tells you? I think I'm only about 3 or 4 weeks just now.

I personally wouldn’t bother if you already know you’re pregnant from a basic test and just becomes another thing to fixate on that might not be accurate. The due date is based on your last period until you have a scan anyway, regardless of what one of those tests says.
When I went to the dating scan with my first the due date changed by 8 days!

I wouldn't bother either. Took me ages to get the 2-3 weeks and never got 3 weeks on it. Caused me a lot of worry something was wrong. I'm nearly 13 weeks now and everything fine. I think they can make you anxious.

Agree with @BellaTheDarkOverlord it took me ages to get to 3+ and it made me so anxious and cost me a lot of money.

I ordered this test, and amazon sent me wrong one. I didn't bother getting new one. You know roughly how many weeks you are, and you'll know more after your scan.

No. I got 2-3 weeks and then restested over a week later expecting to get 3+. I didn’t and I panicked thinking it was bad news. The day after I had a scan and saw a heartbeat and I measured 6 weeks.

i’ve read so many bad reviews about these tests and would never do another as they just cause panic which is usually unnecessary.
