Details required

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Morning after pill does not work if taken after 13 days.

2) Please let me know which test showed result as 2 to 3 weeks ? Ultrassound scan? So that I can help you better.

3) If beta hCG blood test is done send me date and value of the test. Attach report along with this question if possible.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol.

I took morning after pill after sex I took pregnancy test 13 days later. clear blue pregnancy test said I was 2-3 weeks

Brief Answer:
Fertility monitor good for pregnancy test only

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for additional information.

Clear blue fertility monitor tells about pregnancy positive status. It is not accurate in predicting the duration of pregnancy in weeks.

Hence dont go by fertility monitor. Get serum beta hCG blood test with ultrasound scan to assess period of gestation immediately.

I hope your doubt is cleared.
