Tests

It’s just for the extra reassurance we are still pregnant, few of us have had miscarriages before too so it can be quite daunting especially when you have no symptoms before your first scan

@Mama To Be yes I agree with this. I had a missed miscarriage in August 24 and now I’m 5 weeks pregnant… I’ll be taking a test once a week to make sure 🫶🏽

The clear blue weeks indicators are really helpful to assess whether the pregnancy is progressing and if someone (like many of us here) is anxious, this is the best form of reassurance. Just now I got pregnant at the same time as a friend, and we both took tests weekly to see if the HCG would increase, striving for the 3+ Test result after week 5 of pregnancy, and I got it at 5 weeks 2 days, whilst she stayed on 1-2 weeks (the lowest stage) even after 5 weeks mark. She went on having a miscarriage 😞 the only thing is that the test prepares you for it and makes you more aware of what’s going on.
