Clear Blue Ultra Early horizontal line- what does this mean?

38 replies

Amy929292 · 27/08/2020 09:11

Hi everyone, I've just taken a Clear Blue Ultra Early pregnancy test and it has the vertical control line as expected, but in the pregnancy window it should show a vertical line if pregnant- mine showed a horizontal line. What does this mean? Faulty test? Has anyone had one of these and been pregnant?

Hi this really confuses me, as online it shows the larger window should be vertical not horizontal? Does this still mean not pregnant? I just had my son in July… also had anyone had a positive result after testing? Or was it still negative? Thanks

Negative

Got this result in the Clearblue early pregnancy test. It’s hard to tell but there’s a horizontal line bottom of center similar to other pictures posted here

Did a cheap strip test the next morning which was negative.

Just to note 1 week prior to this I took the morning after pill, which may or may not affect results

@tahcvnjj it tells you on the side, your line means it’s negative, not pregnant

Heya, I had the same horizontal line this morning. I was confused so I rang the Clear blue support team who confirmed that this is a negative result.
The line in the frame line where the ink runs through.

Hope that helps you guys.

I had this, but it faded after like 15 min. It’s just the dye running. If you have a control line, I’d still count it as a first test. Positive or negative, you’ll need to take 2 to confirm (that’s why there’s 2 in the box). HCG isn’t produced until after implantation, which can happen up to a week after fertilization. So wait until a week has passed since the day your cycle should have started in order to retest for accuracy. No vertical = not pregnant regardless of whether or not the dye ran horizontally (the direction of the test fibers, which helps wick the urine up into the test).

Nobabies · 30/10/2023 17:22

Friesen97 You don’t even have a control line. So based on the instructions, it’s an invalid test.

Hannah2406 · 23/03/2023 16:43

I am expected to come on my period today , so I guess I’ll just have to see what happens lol! I’m just impatient that’s my problem

SB214 · 27/02/2022 08:28

@Taylor101 I’d recommend testing again with different tests. I’ve seen recommendations for “frer“ tests. I tested again with some cheap Morrison’s tests and got a faint positive yesterday but a negative today. Confused

Taylor101 · 26/02/2022 16:36

I’ve also had exactly the same result

SB214 · 25/02/2022 14:09

Having the same issue. What was your outcome?
