Hi all, I did the stupid thing of testing today to make sure everything was ok and now it’s caused me panic. Last week I got my 2-3 weeks on the clear blue test it was my first wee of the day. Today I have been the gym nipped the shop got a test and done it and it’s dropped down to 1-2 weeks. I had drunk about a Litre of water and a brew in the morning before the test but I’m now panicking that this is a bad sign especially as I am not having many symptoms either. I am hoping it’s because my wee is diluted but wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else?

Oh OP, that way madness lies! It's clearly because of how diluted your wee was - the instructions clearly say that it needs to be fmu to get an accurate measurement. I read a thread with loads of people who had been stressing that they hadn't progressed to a 3+ but their babies were fine. After that I decided not to take another weeks test as it would only panic me. Please don't take any more tests even with fmu though - this one was because of diluted wee but even with fmu you might well not get the 3+ you are after even if everything is fine. Which it very likely is!

Thank you for coming back to me yes I think you are completely right I don’t know why I have been testing so much I think it’s because at this moment it’s the only thing which is validating my pregnancy. I won’t be buying anymore tests I need to stop it as I’m giving myself unnecessary stress

Just incase anyone comes on this at a later date I tested first thing with my first wee and went back back up 2-3 weeks I am now putting the tests down! The worry is not needed
