Clearblue digital not changing :(

[Jcliff]

I dont have a good feeling. I got my levels taken last week at
4w1D and 4w3d
first was 267 then 670

I got 2-3 on Wednesday,
well I waited almost another week to test and it still says 2-3.

I dont understand why. I should be over 2000 by now.
The inside line is very blue, Im frustrated. I hate these tests! Anyone else have this problem? this is the picture of what it looks like inside. It wasnt FMU, just afternoon.

I wasn't aware that they go highr than 2-3 weeks. Is there a reason why you're still testing? It might be stressing you out for no reason xx

Me! I took cb digi again yesterday and still giving me 2-3 weeks after over a whole week, I'm not taking any notice though I've heard there not reliable. I wouldn't worry Hun

 

[Jcliff]

Insert says 3+ is 2000hcg and up, I tested because Im not as nauseous as I was yesterday. My first pregnancy my levels started to drop around now.

 

[BabsJ]

I take it your waiting for it to say 3+? All I know is that for it to change from 2-3 to 3+ there is quite a big difference in hormones needed:

1-2 weeks = 25miu to 200miu
2-3 weeks = 201miu to 2000miu
3+ weeks = >2000miu

Did you open yours?? the test is darker then control on mine, if that means anything. last week the test wasnt that dark at all when i got the 2-3. ugh. I hope this is just another fluke. When my hcg said 267 it still said 1-2. ugh, i guesss well see

I know this, that is why im confused. I should be over 2000. Im 5w2d. and my hcg last Wednesday was 670. i guss ill try another fmu

I have seen a few posters say the same thing you posted and the clear blue is not reliable of how far you are. IT turns out the 2-3 just never changed to the 3 +. This is just a urine test - Its not exact. Only way to know how you are progressing is by your blood hcg. I just dont want you to worry - and trust me i understand your position and why you are testing but I think that you may be causing yourself some extra stress. Also - symptoms vary so often. My boobs are tneder one day and barely tender the next. The other day i was nauseous and then the next not much over the last couple of days and today BAM!! it hit me from the time i opened my eyeballs. Try not to worry your self over this test luv. You know also- if you have a high level of HCG - like High- then it can also sku how your urine test looks. meaning like sometimes barely there. I saw a poster who said she was testing so much and then this happened and it freaked her out- so she warned ladies to stop testing because of that. its something to do with like the hook effect or something like that. where you actually would have to use water to dilute your pee in order to get positive or a nice positive after having high levels of hcg.

xoxoxo

 

[Jcliff]

Thanks, Im guessing its just the diluted pee. Ill try another tomorrow AM fmu. The tests are ALOT more darker then last week, so Im assuming this is a good sign. No bleeding or cramping, so thats a good sign

I tested with one of those yesterday at 4 week 1 day and got 1-2, I had my HCG levels tested today and they came up at 668 - so I am thinking that yesterday I should have got 2-3 according to the figures above but I didn't. Havent tested today though.
I really wouldn't worry too much, could you get another blood test?

 

[Jcliff]

I dont want another blood test, getting my scan in 2 weeks, id rather just wait until that. Most people i have spoken to or seen have said it took forever 6w and plus to get the 3+. Oh well, i guess well see.

 

[Tasha]

There is another thread on here, where the lady used two tests in one bit of urine and one came up as 2-3 and one 3+ I think it was, that shows how unreliable they are hun

 

[Jcliff]

Thank You. It seems most of people think they are unreliable, and dont get the 3+ until later. Oh well, i guess well see

 

[Claire788]

I thought 3+ was TWENTY THOUSAND HCG (page 17 - have a squiz)

I only got my 3+ the same day i had blood done, and my bloods came back at 18707.. so its no way 2000 for a 3+!!!
xxx

 

[Jcliff]

Did you get 2-3 until then? Im kind of starting to get over it now. lol until i bleed or cramp, or it goes down then whatever

 

[Jcliff]

Tried FMU still getting 2-3, my hcg was 670 a week ago. I'm loosing hope. I will probably change my dr apt for next week instead of 2 weeks just cAuse is rather stop taking my progesterone sooner then later. Thanks all

 

[melfy77]

Those tests should be banned When I was 4 1/2 weeks pregnant with DD1 I took a test in the afternoon and got a 2-3. I took one the next morning with FMU and got a 1-2!! A little early for hook effect; so needless to say it freaked me out!!! I thought I was gonna a 3rd miscarriage, but everything was fine

Bottomline: Don't trust these tests!!

 

[Claire788]

Yup, did a CB the day before and it was 2-3 - i had my 3+ about 7am and then had bloods done about 10am

 

[Jcliff]

Wow! I guess well see! But thanks for all the support ladies!! Xoxo I need to stop testing and take care of my 8 month old!
