Accuracy of CB digital preg test

MrsTibby · Feb 12, 2011 12:38PM

Hi All,

Need some advice. I am now 5 wks 1 day along and I have just taken another pregnancy test as wanted to see if it now says I am 2 - 3 wks and it doesn't...still says 1 - 2 wks. Now I am worrying even more as I have hardly any symptoms on top of that. How accurate are those tests at telling you how far along you are?

Thanks,

Tibby

Hi Mrs Tibby,

I am also 5+1! I also had those tests as well and I did read that it said the accuracy that conception indicator was dependent on if you used FMU and even then it was only 90% or something. Did you test first thing this morning? I guess this is as it need concentrated urine.

I really wouldn't worry to much, these tests are good but I think they can make you worry more, also you may not be excactly the dates you think.

If you are really worried, maybe wait a couple of days and then try again.

Also don't worry about having no symptom, I worried the whole 12 weeks with my DS as I had no real symptoms and no sickness, but he is now a lovely 14 month old! Also so far I don't really have many symptoms so far this time.

Dont think these tests get a good write up. The variation in hcg levels are too big to be accurate i rekon.

try not worry hunnie, i dont really have any symptoms either, im 5+2
