Clearblue w conception not going up???

almostamissus · December 2013

Looking for some positive stories, I hope. I'm 5 and a half weeks, I suffered through a mmc last month that was discovered at 6 weeks. I had betas drawn on the 20th and 23rd and the numbers were 185 and 1201. I took another clearblue with conception indicator this morning and it still reads 2-3 weeks. Shouldn't it read 3+ by now? I thought the cut off for 3+ was 2000 hcg? Which should have happened on Christmas Day. Is there any hope for me at all?

Trust your betas. Too many variables like more dilute pee etc with POAS.

I had the same thing happen. Unfortunately my third beta was only 1136 a week after it was 428. However, last week we saw a hb. I posted something similar prior to my third beta and got a ton of responses that those tests are not reliable. You're far enough along for an early ultrasound so I would suggest calling and asking for one for peace of mind.

I know it's easier said than done, but after an FRER and two 3 packs of cheapies, I put down the pee sticks, and you can too! It's not worth the unnecessary worry.

I don't see my obgyn until jan 9 because he took extended holidays. I'm attempting to find some peace of mind until I see him. I had a mc last month and they told me I had tubal issues which could make conception and pregnancy incredibly unlikely. I just want to know as soon as I can, one way or the other, ya know?

I don't want to give you false hope or anything, but I have heard of this happening a lot with those tests. I agree with PPs about there being a lot of variables that can affect a pee stick. I would say to put the pee sticks down, and try your best to relax ((hugs))

Those Clearblue week indicator ones will make you nuts!!! I agree that you should trust your betas and ignore the pee stick for now. I'm not sure what levels they measure for, but remember that your urine is probably more diluted and less reliable than the blood draws. (((HUGS)))
