Sometimes too much information creates other problems. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1812124 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:47:33 +0000 turquoisemama 1812124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: I never took a digital, but scrutinized the darkness of the pink line just like this. It was a point of so much anxiety and worry for me. I wish I would have just stopped after the first one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1812090 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:39:33 +0000 jetsa 1812090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1812061 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:32:56 +0000 marionberry 1812061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @swedishfish: Thanks ladies! Feeling so relieved today! Thanked Jesus and then decided no more testing for me, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1811976 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 13:55:00 +0000 swedishfish 1811976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1811958 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 13:48:10 +0000 simplyfelicity 1811958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1810943 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 08:11:43 +0000 marionberry 1810943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally! I was so stressed out that I barely slept last night. Feeling much better now. :grin: </p> [attach=1150/14/na73bk.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1809400 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 11:21:06 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1809400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: I did! Here are some screen shots. Mine were show to climb on the digital too, though I would get a beta done if you're feeling nervous. </p> [attach=4435/14/na5hf7.600x333.2014-08-11-12.18.44.png] [attach=4435/14/na5hf9.600x489.2014-08-11-12.19.14.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1809319 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 10:50:05 +0000 simplyfelicity 1809319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The weeks estimator number is based off of when you ovulated, not your LMP. SO, if you ovulated at day 14 (hypothetically) and you are five weeks and some change, that would put you in the 2-3 range. </p> <p>Here's a video that explains it well. :happy:<br /> <a href="http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZgrG1EKH3o" rel="nofollow">http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mZgrG1EKH3o</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1809085 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 09:31:34 +0000 theotherstark 1809085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those digital tests can be really unreliable!! Particularly considering your hydration/urine dilution levels, etc. I wouldn't stress about it too much at all.</p> <p>I can't remember exactly what happened, but I took one earlier in my pregnancy and it hadn't moved me up a level either (It might have even regressed?? I honestly can't remember, but I flipped out). Granted it was in the afternoon and I hadn't held my urine and had been drinking a lot of water, but it still made me panic. I am now almost 24 weeks and everything seems to be progressing normally (knock on wood! :) ). </p> <p>All that to say, I wouldn't rely on those too much. There are too many variables that can change results, and I've heard a lot of people who have had issues with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1809049 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 09:17:00 +0000 marionberry 1809049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the event that anyone comes to this post in the future looking for answers I found their FDA study which says 3+ weeks isn't given until someone hits 2600 hCG. From my basic calculations it looks like that would happen 8-10 days after the 2-3 weeks reading if your hCG doubles every two days.</p> <p>This gives me a little hope. I'm not going to freak out for a few more days. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1808782 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:52:00 +0000 marionberry 1808782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Ya it said 2-3 weeks again. :sad:<br /> @spaniellove: I should've just stuck to the two line tests. I think I'm gonna call my OB in the next couple of days and ask for betas. Their office is horrible with labs but hopefully I can get them to do what I want. Being at the RE's office where they monitor everything was so much nicer than this waiting stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1808772 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 07:46:31 +0000 spaniellove 1808772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with the weeks estimator, but I hope baby Berry continues to grow and do well in there! I don't think HPTs are ever a good way to judge how a pregnancy is progressing and it can't hurt to ask your OB about betas if you want a definite answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1808686 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:58:11 +0000 littlek 1808686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: did it still see 2 - 3 weeks? I wouldn't worry. Try again in few days and it should say 3+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1808615 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:19:35 +0000 marionberry 1808615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Thank you! This makes me feel better. I'll have to see if I can find that chart!</p> <p>Ya I have a feeling I'll continue to test for a few days and if in the next two days it doesn't go up I'll call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1808614 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:16:30 +0000 Anya 1808614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a lot of overlap with those tests, so I wouldn't be too concerned. I think MrsPanda had a chart she posted that showed the hcg range for each level, and it was pretty wide. I had the same thing happen and when I googled it, there were a ton of people who had the same thing happen but had normal pregnancies.</p> <p>ETA: but I would still call the doctor if you're concerned and it hasn't gone up after another week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clearblue-pt-with-weeks-estimator#post-1808612 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:11:13 +0000 marionberry 1808612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am about 5w2d under my calculations. A week ago I took one of those CB tests with weeks estimators and it said 2-3 weeks. Today I expected it to say 3 weeks + given it had been a week but it didn't. Now I'm freaking out that my hCG isn't doubling.</p> <p>Just looking to see if anyone has any experience with this and if you found them to be accurate? I may have to call my OB and ask for an hCG if tomorrow's test still doesn't go up, just to alleviate anxiety or find out the bad news. </p>
