How many weeks Confusion

[Carly2305]

Hello. Just looking for some advice as im driving myself mad.
I tested positive on Tuesday 21st Febuary my Clear Blue test said 2-3 weeks but I had what definitely seemed like a period from the 7th of Feb for about 6 days, which was 2 weeks ago?
So im abit confused, I have dates when I could have conceived. Any guidance will be much appreciated, Thank You

I’d say either you had a heavy implantation bleed rather than a period or potentially having twins maybe?

Your weeks of pregnancy are dated from the first day of your last period

Oh okay, I didn't realise you could get heavy implantation bleeds and wow didn't know that about Twins either! Thank You

If the 7th of Feb was a period it is unlikely (although not impossible) to ovulate and conceive AND have HCG high enough to register on a pregnancy test.

The clear blue digital are from date of conception so you need to add 2 weeks to get what you are in weeks. This suggests you are 4-5 weeks pregnant.

When was your period before the 7th? Do you track ovulation at all?

Thankyou for your reply.
I took Ovulation Tests and I had Peak Ovulation on 25th January and 14th February. Possibly could have conceived 22nd-29th Jan.
I had a really light/spotting for 4 days from 16th-19th Jan, and i have had random spotting inbetween.

Personally I reckon you conceived around 25th January. 14th could be positive because you were pregnant, ovulation tests can show positive when HCG is present.

With the spotting I'd speak to EPU and see if u can get an early scan.
