Hi,

just kind of want to put my mind at ease😣 I done a clear blue digital test on Wednesday pm it was 2-3 I’ve now waited 5 days to do another one and I tested this morning& it’s still saying 2-3 weeks 😣 my test changed pretty quickly with my first baby so I got a 3+ in a few days and this one seems to not want to change. My anxiety is going pretty bad atm🫣😣 I should be 5/6 weeks so surely should have it cl
e up on the scan by now? when did you get your 3+

I waited exactly a week between the digital tests.
Could you ask for bloods?
People constantly say they're not reliable but as someone whos has 4 loses, my clearblue never progressed to 3+ in my loses but did in my successful pregnancies so my advice to anyone whos in doubt go get a blood test to help give you some clarity because the anxiety of not seeing that 3+ just never goes away.
I think i was 5 1/2 this time when I got it but it depends what your number is.
Can you open the test up?
Have a look at the line, itll give an idea how close you are to the 3

Oh okayy maybe I should test again on Wednesday it would be exactly a week then! So sorry you’ve had loses couldn’t imagine what it’s like😣glad you eventually had positive pregnancies and got your babies 🥹

oh nooo that’s given me more anxiety about it not reaching 2-3. Really hope everything is ok! I’ve got a midwife appointment on Thursday who is doing bloods. How do you tell when you open the test up what am I looking for?

@girlmummy1997xxxx it definitely looks like its increased in those few days going by the photo.
I think your levels are just slightly on the lower end , everyone is different. The hcg number doesnt matter too much so long as its increasing . Theres a very broad range. At 6 weeks they expect it above 1000, some people are in double digits and others are on lower end but if they are increasing it should eventually be giving the 3+ . That's my experience anyway of using them over 6 pregnancies . The threshold for 3+ is over 2700 I think, some people just need longer .
Going by your tests, I personally would leave it a few more days as hcg should double roughly every 2 days.
I hit the 3+ when the line was equal/ darker than the control line.
So you see how how each test has 2 tests and they have puncture holes at the side and show only 1 line .. the two with the holes more spaced out , your can just dispose of those.
The tests from other day and today with the holes closer that show 2 lines on them, keep those if you want to check progression. You can see how todays is darker than last day. If your looking exactly at that photo, its the left lines. The right ones are the control

Awwww! Okayy i understand now, I might test again on Wednesday that would be exactly a week since I did my test or should I wait longer? My lines on normal pregnancy tests tho are so much stronger than the ones of those little tests! X
