Help! How long pregnant?

5 replies

vraagje
I just took a pregnancy test, and it showed that I am pregnant. I haven't noticed any other symptoms; it was more of an intuitive feeling. I used the Clearblue test, which indicates the number of weeks. It indicated 1-2 weeks. During this period, I had sex with my new partner, so it's possible I got pregnant then. However, I took the test in the afternoon, which might affect the reliability regarding the number of weeks.
And now comes my big concern. About a month and a half ago, I also had sex with another man, whom I was in a relationship with at the time. We had a little accident, and I got my period in early April. Looking back, my period was less intense than usual (maybe implantation bleeding). If I were pregnant from this partner, conception would have occurred about 6 weeks ago.
Can someone tell me how reliable the Clearblue indication is? If I were already fertilized 6 weeks ago, could it be that the Clearblue shows 1-2 weeks because I didn't take the test in the morning?
Thank you very much!

    First of all, congratulations!
    If the Clearblue shows 1-2, you're 3-4 weeks pregnant. If you had conceived 6 weeks ago with your ex, it should have shown +3. That would mean you're 5 weeks pregnant or more.

    Thank you! And I understand what you're saying, but could it be that because I didn't use first morning urine, the test now shows a lower number of weeks? And then tomorrow morning it suddenly shows 3+?

    Just a question: at that many weeks of pregnancy, it shouldn't matter much because you'd already be pregnant for so long that hCG should already be high during the day.

    Pluisje is right. Maybe this will reassure you; when I was 4.4 weeks pregnant, I took a Clearblue and it showed 2-3 weeks. So it matched perfectly!

    Ok, thanks so much. I'll do a test tomorrow morning. If it doesn't show 3+ weeks (which it should if it's from my ex), then I'll know for sure
