Found out I'm pregnant- HCG worries

[Tulip1112]

Just found out I’m pregnant. Had sex last 16 days ago. Negative early pregnancy tests on Thurs and Fri last week. Did one tonight that says 1-2 weeks pregnant. Should I be worried it doesn’t say 2-3 weeks? Previous miscarriages so anxiety levels are high!

The dating tests aren’t 100% accurate from memory and at early stages the HCG rises may not be enough to tick over into the next category.

some people never get a 3+ for example

It’s based on your hcg levels at the time. With my first pregnancy I tested 2-3 weeks straight away and then 2 days later I was 3+ when I was probably only 4 weeks.
With my second pregnancy it took ages to get a 3+, it stayed on 1-2 weeks for quite a while .

Thank you- sometimes you just need a voice of reason!!
