Clearblue question

[ZubZub]

I am 24 days post ov according to ff and know I ovulated at least 18 days ago. I did a clearblue digital test and it said 1-2 weeks. I should be at least 2-3 if not >3. We last dtd on day of ov so it couldnt' be that I ovulated much later than expected.

Everything I read is so negative. Has anyone had the same experience and go on to have a healthy pregnancy? I'm pretty useless at work today - feel like going home and crying.

Thanks so much Linz - do you know why that happened? Were you really 6 weeks at that point?

These tests aren't really accurate to tell you how far along you are, just that you're pregnant. There was a website that explained this. It said the same about tests being darker/lighter...it shouldn't be used as an indicator of pregnancy progression as they really aren't accurate. Congrats on your pregnancy by the way, have a healthy & happy 9 months!

Thanks Perplexed. I have been testing every day to see if the tests get darker! Will stop now. My hcg was 156 on Monday, which is pretty low for 21 dpo. I went for another test this morning and am hoping for a good doubling rate. Will know later today.

Somebody else not long ago asked this similar question...worried about being at 1-2. I have been at 2-3 for over 2 weeks now! I was hoping to see it move up to 3+, but it hasn't.

The website does claim that the weeks estimator should be taken as just that--an estimate. Their website says there is a range of 45%-99% accuracy. That is a huge range. Therefore, the estimate can be way off.

But I got curious. I decided to test the test! I bought two. I took one one day, and then I popped it open to see what the line that estimates how far along I am looked like (for 2-3 weeks), it was a light blue. Then, two days later, I took another one and popped it open. It still said 2-3 weeks, but the estimator line was MUCH darker. I was surprised the test didn't say 3+ because the line was super dark. So to me that was a progression even if the test didn't show it.

Those blooming tests drive me nuts! I didn't get to 3+ for weeks!!! Long after I should have, it's totally estimation, you'd be best off spending money on half a dozen cheap ones and watching line progress (to a point!) *wish I could have taken my own advice* haha xx

It was i would have been 6 weeks exactly . I had my scan 3 days later at 6 weeks 3 days! I searched lots of forums and read a lot of ladies comments who had been through the same thing with these new age tests lol
