When did everyone get their 3+ on clear blue?
Im 5+3 based on my ovulation date - which is correct as was tracking ovulation and still on 2-3.
should I be worried?

Clear blue quotes weeks from ovulation rather than LMP so 2-3 is great at this stage if you’re 5 since lmp

I am 7 weeks from LMP. But ovulated on day 25 so only 5 weeks 3 days from ovulation

I never did. Gave up at 7 weeks. She’s going to be 7 next week! So obviously all worked out ok for me 😃 my lines never really got very dark either. I never had a “dye stealer”.

First pregnancy: never. He's now 2 years old.
Second pregnancy: never. Miscarried.
Third (current) pregnancy: haven't touched a ClearBlue digital! They cause too much stress IMO.

I was in a similar position the last few weeks. Clearblue was stuck on 2-3 weeks from 4 weeks pregnant and didn't get a 3+ until 6+2. I wasn't sure whether to be worried it had taken that long, but there is so much out there to suggest that many mums never get a 3+ and go on to have healthy babies.
I have a reassurance scan at the EPAU in a couple of days at 7 weeks so fingers crossed it's good news

Never, I was still showing as 1-2 when I was 6 weeks (or 4 weeks from ovulation) and it was stressing me out so I just decided to stop testing and get an early scan at 8 weeks. I'm 13 weeks and baby is fine.

Hi Lauren, did everything end up okay? Mine finally went to 3+ last night at 5 weeks 5 days but back to 2-3 this morning, nothing to drink in between!!! X

Hi! Did everything end up okay? Kind of in the same boat!

I got 1-2, then exactly 7 days later it was still 1-2. 48 h after it was already 2-3. Then it stayed 2-3 for about 9 days abd I think it changed to 3+ on day 10. I think we expect it to change up the thresholds every 7 days but the jump from 2-3 to 3+ in terms of HcG is HUGE, so if it detected 2-3 when you were closer to 2, i think it’s perfectly normal to take longer to go to 3+. Try not to worry, and as many have said for some it never changed yet they have healthy happy babies

Hey, apologies for the delay, I've been hit by the flu!

So mine wasn't a happy ending unfortunately. I tested 3+ at 6+2 weeks. My 7 week scan showed a fetal pole measuring 5+6 with a strong heartbeat. I explained to the clinician I should be 7 weeks (my dates were 100% correct) but she wasn't concerned, booking me in for another scan in 2 weeks time.

Unfortunately at the 9 week scan there was no heartbeat and no growth from the previous scan, so it must have stopped developing just after the scan. I went into hospital the following week to have medical management of the miscarriage, and just need to take a pregnancy test tomorrow to confirm I fully miscarried.

Did you do anymore tests after it went to 2-3? I'd say it may be a faulty test if you got your 3+ the night before. If other tests showed as 2-3 I'd look at getting your HCG levels tested to confirm.

To be honest, the Clearblue digital weeks tests caused me so much anxiety, so I'm not going to waste my money and time on them when (hopefully) I get pregnant again.

I hope everything is going well with your pregnancy!
