I tested on Wednesday with one step sensitive tests which all come back faint positives. I also did two digital tests which come back saying pregnant really quick (under a min) and a clearblue test which shown positive immediately. Why would the tests with higher mlU show positive faster than the sensitive ones?

7w3d from LMP
5w2d from when I think I ovulated (don't quote me)
1-2 weeks on CB date test!?

Anyone else had this or have any suggestions why this could be?!

Hey. You may be better in the pregnancy forum. Google the Hook Effect and see if you think this could explain it. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I miscarried this week, I knew something wasn't quite right when my tests were faint, they did get darker but not dark considering I was supposedly 10 weeks at the time of miscarriage (with my LG I had dye stealers!!). Hopefully I'll be back with our rainbow baby 🌈 in the near future 🤍

Oh I'm so sorry. I wish it could have been different for you. Sending lots of love. It may be too raw for right now but I found the book Miscarriage- what every woman should know, very useful. Take care
