Clearblue digi says 2-3 weeks but im 5+5wks pregnant

Dilek · Mar 15th, 2010, 05:07 AM

Hi Girls

Can you please help me. Ive just a digi, it was 1st urine of the day, and i had held it for 6 hours. So i think the concentration is correct.

I know my exact dates as we conceived via IVF. Im exactly 5 weeks plus 5 days pregnant and it came up at 2-3 this morning. I also did one on Friday night and it also said 2-3 weeks. I am sooo upset.

Ive had a missed mc in the past with absolutely no idea until we had our 7 week scan with no heartbeat.

Can u girls please give me some advice. I have my gp appointment at 11am and im going to beg for an earlier scan or some bloods.

Has this happened to anyone else and everything still be ok????

Did you concieve via IVF 5weeks 5 days ago? Or are you counting from the date of your LMP?

Because I think the clearblue digi test doesn't count from your LMP, but counts from date of conception, so when it says 2-3 weeks, you're actually 4-5 weeks x

onthe instructions it says to add 2 weeks onto the amount of weeks it tells you on the digi box you can see !! i got confused by mine aswell and very very upset as i didnt read the instructions .

so if you add the 2 weeks on then youll be around the dates you know you are

Girls my egg collection was on the 17th Feb which on that day i would be already 2 weeks pregnant. You girls will say egg collections = ovulation day. Im definatly 5+5 weeks pregnant, as per what the docs would go by, as your last period. Ive called my IVF clinic too, see what they say. Next is to EPU, ive managed to find out that cause ive had a mc in the past i can refer myself.

I had some odd pains yesterday, it went on for a while and i found myself bending over in pain and grasping for my chair to hold on too. Could be my endo?? I dont know???

Thats the point hun, clearblue says im 4-5 weeks but im actually 5+5. No doubt about that!! Thats whats so bad about IVF, dates are never wrong!

I didn't get 3+ on a digi until I was 5+6. The conception part isn't massively accurate xx

Thanks girls, ive kinda read that as well, somewhere on this board but i couldnt find the thread this morning. Called my IVF clinic, nurse just says just relax, yeah right. I called EPU and i have an appointment on wednesday at 12pm. Thank god for that.

i read on the instructions that you should add a week or so onto it but didnt quite understand what it meant it came up saying 'pregnant 2-3 weeks' when i went to the docs 1 week and 3 days later she actually told me i could be almost 6 weeks pregnant =) hope that helps x

Not sure with IVF but Im 5 wks on Weds and I did a clearblue today and got 2-3wks as the clearblue test only measures the weeks since ov/conception whereas the Doctors count an extra 2 weeks and count your last period as when your pregnancy starts... So if you add on the extra 2 wks then I think its right?

Hope that makes sense & hope you arent worrying too much x
