As it says really, I have had a lot of heartache this week, on Saturday (way too early) I tested with a clear blue as I felt sick and was very tired, it came up with a clear line in the 2 minute time frame, yay I thought I was pregnant. The line faded to a dark skinny line at the left edge of the test line.
So I took a first response to be sure, and it was bfn. Refusing to believe it, I took a superdrug test, an eBay cheapie and a wondfo cheapie, all absolutely negative not a hint of a line.
Forward to Monday. I thought that maybe if the clear blue line was real, something should be showing on another test by now, so I took another clear blue, and yet again, a line came up, even clearer this time, there is a pic posted on the may bus drop outs thread if anyone is interested. The line was still skinny but as dark as the control line, and you could see it accross the room. So again, I tested with a first response, Again, bfn, also bfn superdrug, bfn cheapie and bfn wondfo.
That evening, I did another clear blue, from a different box, it was total bfn.
Gutted and confused, I tested again tuesday morning, bfp again with clear blue, bfn with everything else (didn't bother with first response and superdrug too bloody expensive to keep wasting!)
I have now run out of clear blue and I won't be buying any more. These tests have been faulty more than 50% of the tests I have used this month, and they are the most expensive test on the shelf! and for the record I am def. Not pregnant, my period is due tomorrow and I have every sign that it is on it's way in full force.
Ladies, please beware of a thin blue line which is to the left edge of the test line on clear blue tests. It's not real. If you want to know if you are pregnant, go buy a first response, superdrug or any other supermarket brand. If you want to see a meaningless line regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, please buy clear blue.
