Hi Ladies, after a bit of advice if anyone has been in a similar situation. All started 2 weeks ago when I was due on but got spotting instead of af, did a pg test that showed a very faint positive (FR). Next day did a cheapie test strip that showed barely a line. Have continued spotting , mixed with blood at times and small clots but never enough to fill a pad (at most a 2 pence worth size) also had very painful stomach cramps for around 10 days as well.

However last tuesday went back to docs (had already been to say about m/c as ive had 2 previously) as tests had got slightly stronger and more visible he sent me for blood test. Only managed to get into see doc again today so its been agonising wait and in mean time tests are now strong positives. The blood test results showed Im pregnant but very low, he said they would date me 3 weeks at most when I know for sure that at the point of the bloods I would have been 5 weeks and 2 days ( I know exactly when I ov'ed due to years of experience and the only day we had sex that cycle was the day i ov'ed). He has sent me for 2 nd blood test today to see if levels have risen.

I seem to have waffled completely off course lol the point of this post is I did a clear blue digital when I got home today (about 11am) and it says pregnant 2-3 weeks , this cant be right though as i should be 6 weeks and 2 days today . Do you think there is ay hope of this being a normal pregnancy, have any of you had inaccurate results from cb digital. x

Me and my o/h are emotionally drained from all this.

Hey hun

Clear blues don't date from the LMP but from conception so that makes you about right don't forget they are not exact,

Have you had any more normal tests? I'd say your levels must b riseing for CB digi to show

fx darling, how long untill the bloods are back? X

The test might say 2-3 because of the concentration of your urine..

And you might have inplanted late, I read that you can implant at 12dpo and you dont start producing HCG untill you implant.

You are doing the right think by going to the doctors, its just a waiting game untill you get your second set of bloods done.

I ovulated 4 weeks ago on sunday just gone ,so i was thinking it should be saying 3+ by now surely? Doctor said he will call me tomorrow and if they have risen he will get me an early scan. Its so much of a worry we've been trying for over 3 years and I had tubal surgery 11 months ago for blocked tubes so theres also the worry of ectopic. We arent really holding out much hope this will be our 3rd miscarriage in 8 months.

if your hcg levels are low it might be that. sometimes tests are more stress than they are worth!!! hope you get your early scan. can you go for a private scan? i did that to put my mind at rest after having 2 mc

I wish we could go for private scan but we just cant afford it at the moment

im so sorry for all the stress your under, i too have had alot of worries this pregnancy including being told i had a mc when i hadnt. I hope your hcg is just rising slowly and there isnt a problem, if you ever need to talk feel free to PM me, please keep us updated. Im also sorry for your previous losses! x x

Your still in with a good chance , I remember with my last preg that the digi said 2-3 one day and then 3 days later said 1-2 it really depends on the amount of hormone in your urine x x

From your ovulation you will be right with your calculations, But it can take atleast 7 days to implant in your womb so straight away theres a week knocked off. I really was convinced my EDD was what i worked from ovulation etc but its not,. about a week and half less than i thought i was. Your scan will determinate for sure. gl xx

Don't forget that if your clearblue test says 2 - 3 weeks then the doctors would probably date you 4 -5 weeks at the moment (based on a 28 day cycle) because the doctors date from the date of last period and the conception indicator goes on conception... At least 5 weeks sounds a lot more reasonable at what you think is 6 weeks 2 days than 2-3 weeks

Also, don't forget that the conception indicator is only 92% accurate and that's if you use first morning urine - it's less if you don't.

Good luck and hope your hcg is just rising slowly and that there's no other problems
