Third Trimester Moms, please help!

I'm about 6-7 weeks pregnant from conception and 8 clearblue tests later, it's STILL reading 2-3 weeks. I took the first one 2 weeks ago. Im having really bad anxiety. Did any of you have an experience like this, and everything turned out fine? I know the tests are crap but I'm still concerned why my hcg level isn't over 2000 yet. This is my second child and I've had no symptoms of m/c. Just looking for someone who had a similar experience with a positive outcome. Thank you <3

    I wouldn't put too much stock into those tests honestly. Why don't you ask your dr for a quantative blood test and get your actual HCG count? If that continues to double appropriately then that is a much better indicator. Also an early ultrasound may ease your mind!

    Thank you. I had blood drawn yesterday but won't have results until Monday. I bumped u/s to Monday too. Just so much anxiety.. Was also planning on telling family Sunday but I'm too paranoid now

    I wouldn't freak out til your labs come in and an ultrasound is done. Those tests are not to be used to help diagnose anything but I can understand why you'd be worried. Hang in there.

    Do you mean you're actually 8 or 9 weeks pregnant, then? 6 to 7 weeks from conception would mean 8 or 9 actual weeks.

    If you're only 6-7 weeks pregnant, in general, then the Clear Blue is correct, that would put you 2-3 weeks from conception.

    Huh? By what math?  6-7 weeks pregnant is 4-5 weeks from conception.

    I'm curious how many boards she posted this question on...
    Wow, yes, you are right. Sleep deprivation is clearly messing with me.

    Sorry, OP, it does sound like the test is off either way. I hope your blood work and maybe an early ultrasound are able to give you some answers.
