Clearblue weeks indicator

Hello, I am 5 weeks 2 days pregnant and was expecting to see 3+ on the weeks indicator but still only seeing 2-3. This was with FMU and my dates are correct. Anyone experienced this before?

They're not always that accurate, some people never get 3+ xx

I didn’t get 3+ until I was 6 weeks. Those tests are just novelty things and shouldn’t be taken seriously. They’re notoriously inaccurate

Thank you, the worry I’ve been feeling is crazy! I hope you went on to have a happy, healthy pregnancy x

Same here, I don’t think I got a 3+ until 6 weeks. My baby is now 4 months old :)

@LW678 thats the problem with those tests, they cause so much anxiety for people. I also had normal tests get lighter for several days around the time my period was due and a bleed at 9 weeks. I’m almost 38 weeks now so definitely no problems. Hope you have a smooth pregnancy, best advice is stay away from the tests though, the anxiety they caused me is unreal.

Thank you for the reassurance, I really needed it!
