Negative digital has made me doubt everything...

I'm 13dpo today, AF due tomorrow. I got my bfp 11dpo on a clearblue digital, since then I have done two FRER and they have been clear and the last one was noticeably darker. I decided to go a digital today for "confirmation" and its bloody negative. I am gutted.

Is it too early? Is the digital not sensitive enough?
Now I'm worried my boobs aren't as sore as well. Photos in next post...

@Toastedsesame I remember how disappointing and upsetting this was for me in November, so I totally empathise with what you are feeling right now.

On the positive side you were pregnant for a little bit, it’s just that maybe this embryo wasn’t the right one this time. So there’s every chance you’ll get a sticky one next month. Fingers crossed for you.

Are you on any treatment at all to help with conception? I am taking 150mg of aspirin to help with implantation and blood flow to the baby. It’s my first month trying it and I’m yet to find out if it’s helped - I’m due for my period next week but I know it helps a lot of women so may be worth looking into xxx

Thanks everyone. Feeling a bit sad. Hoping this AF isn't too dreadful. Have to try again next month.

@Toastedsesame sorry this has happened .. wishing you all the best Flowers x

LadyHalesBroach · 31/01/2021 07:41

This happened to me this week. Had a faint positive cb, then had a bfp on cb digital. Following morning it’s negative. I’m just waiting for Af to arrive, I can’t take the up and down anymore.

Sorry you’re out too this month, try and look forward to next month x

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot1 · 31/01/2021 07:36

I've been hoping for better news for you 😔 so sorry it's not looking good. This happened to me last year and I tried again the following month and now I'm weeks away from my due date! I have every faith you'll get there!! 🎈 just to (hopefully) give you a little hope. 💐

Cafeaulait27 · 31/01/2021 04:18

I’m so sorry. This happened to me in November, it’s so sad.

So sorry for your loss xxx

Thanks so much for your replies. I really appreciate it. Just feel so disappointed right now. See how it goes tonight / tomorrow I guess. I'll update if anything changes.

Hope you’re ok x

Cafeaulait27 · 30/01/2021 19:27

Don’t worry unless it starts to get heavier and more red. If it does, it’s likely a chemical/very early mc which is what I had in November.

I really hope it’s not that for you xxx

No pain and no full flow bleeding is a positive sign.

I have everything crossed. I know that spotting and any sign of blood is terrifying in pregnancy but there are SO many cases where this has turned out to be implantation, and even after the point at which af is due loads of women report bleeding, sometimes full flow and all is ok. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thanks moomin. My AF is due today. I really hope it's spotting, got no pain as yet.

When is your af due @Toastedsesame? Lots of women report getting spotting around the time it would be due. Some even properly bleed and assume they’re af has arrived.

I truly hope it turns out to be this for you! X

At the moment it's pink on wiping with some red streaks. I don't have a good feeling.

@Toastedsesame sorry to hear you’re bleeding. Is it red blood? Xxx

Moominmiss · 30/01/2021 17:51

@Toastedsesame I’m sorry to hear you’re now bleeding. Is it full on af like bleeding or spotting?

If it’s spotting it could just be implantation bleeding.

Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

Cafeaulait27 · 30/01/2021 17:43

When I got pregnant last year, I only got a faint positive a few days into when my period should’ve started, and only got a digital positive towards the end of when my period should’ve been. So don’t lose hope! If you’re not bleeding it should be all ok in there xx

HT1507 · 30/01/2021 17:43

@Toastedsesame have you tested again with a FRER or the early detection Clearblue one?

Toastedsesame · 30/01/2021 17:37

Well I'm now bleeding so it's not looking good at all 😭

OP posts:
Moominmiss · 30/01/2021 11:12

Oh then in that case @Toastedsesame I don’t think you’ve anything to panic about. The digitals need quite a bit more hcg to get a positive. I’m sure if you try again in a day or 2 your levels will have risen enough for it to detect!

Congrats!

HT1507 · 30/01/2021 09:28

@Toastedsesame the Clearblue digital has a sensitivity of 25mIU/ml, whereas the Clearblue Early Detection is 10mIU/ml) and the FRER is 6.3 mIU/mL .. it may just be too early for the digital to pick it up? Don’t stress yourself out about it .. I know easier said than done!

Sorry @Moominmiss my original bfp was on a clear blue early non digital one. This is the first Digi I have taken.

OP posts:
Moominmiss · 29/01/2021 21:43

So did you get your original bfp on a clearblue digital and now the same type of digital is saying not pregnant?

Or were the 2 digitals different types?

purplepoppet92 · 29/01/2021 21:32

Your urine might have just been diluted - stick with the FRER!
And congratulations!!
