Still getting 2 to 3 weeks on Clearblue at five weeks

Long story short - 6 years TTC, 3 egg retrievals 2 transfers - last transfer was 23rd May of a 5AA untested embryo.
Got my first positive at 5DP5DT - saw a 2-3 on a clear blue at 10DP5DT (could have maybe got it earlier?)
I think since then I’ve had small progression on FRER nothing crazy. However I have tested with a clear blue today (5 weeks - 16DP5DT) and I’m still only 2-3, I’m completely melting down about it as it’s nearly a week without movement? It could be more than a week if I got the 2-3 earlier :(.

Here is my FRER from yesterday - I’m in the UK so no betas and 1st scan is 23rd June which is over two weeks away. Just feel as though things aren’t progressing and it’s going to end up in bad news because I still don’t have a 3+ in a week :(

Those who were in a similar situation when did you get yours? Xx

Some people never get 3 weeks.
its also normal not to get it until closer to 6weeks
as it depends on your hcg levels

You should have them rule out an ectopic pregnancy. If it's ectopic, HCG doesn't go up properly. I'm not a doctor but I had an ectopic pregnancy, don't wait another day, call and insist an ultrasound, ectopic is dangerous.

What would make you think I am having an Ectopic?

Yes I have seen that, perhaps with only being 5 days today I should wait until Wednesday/thursday as it’s clear HCG is rising from the fact I had control line match on Thursday and then dye stealer Saturday

I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions yet. 2-3 on a clear blue means 4-5weeks. Thats what it says on website anyway?

Yes 2-3 is 4-5 weeks and then 3+ is 5+ weeks and I’m 5 weeks today. It’s more the fact that I have now been testing at 2-3 for almost a week and frer has progressed to a dye stealer this weekend but still not increasing on clear blue
