Yesterday I did a clearblue (silly I know) in an attempt to ease my anxiety after 5 miscarriages and got 2-3 weeks at 24dpo (3 weeks 3 days since OV, 5 weeks 5 days since LMP). I know my dates are accurate. It was not FMU but still of course I was hoping for 3+. Needless to say, this has not eased my anxiety - quite the opposite and kicking myself for doing it now. Anyone got experience with these tests and their accuracy at 2-3 and 3+ ranges? I've read mixed things about them but can't help but think its a bad sign. Scan booked for next week, but in the meantime, I have to admit this has spun me for a loop.

Hi @Chasingbaby2 congratulations on your BFP xx
Tbh i wouldn't worry about the weeks indicator on the cb tests. I didn't really take any notice and all was ok. I know it's hard but please try not to worry xx

2-3 weeks on a CB digital would mean 4-5 weeks by dates which would be about right?

@Summer2424 thank you! Its so hard isn't it. Its nice to hear that they didn't work for you either.

With my son I got 2-3weeks, when it should have read 3+weeks.
He’s one this week, so I wouldn’t read too much into it if you can help it :).
it’ll also make a difference with it not being a FMU test, your urine was likely more diluted.

@Caitlin991 thats made me feel soo much better thank you! I know its ridiculous to worry so much, but after so many losses I just can't help it. With my son I literally did 1 test and didn't give it a second thought!

Congratulations! Don't worry, all that matters is that you are pregnant. Smile mine showed wrong info as well as I knew when we had conceived. I recall reading somewhere the test would show weeks not from last periods but from conception or something like this. Relax and concentrate on healthy lifestyle for yourself and the little one.

I didn’t get 3+ until 6 weeks. They’re notoriously inaccurate, many people never get 3+

@PickledScrump thank you! Wish I had never done the damn thing now :)
