False positives on clearblue (not digital)?

[mischadee]

A blue cross came up within 30seconds and stayed there but I can't see a thing on my first response early

[chocolatecake08]

This is an extremely late reply but im in desperate need of answers.

This happened to me i got positives from clear blue and negative from a tesco brand that i have used before and found them to be accurate.

What happened in the end did the clear blue turn out to be correct? Ive read lots of story's about clear blue being unreliable

[Meg91]

I've done 3, all been the same and from two different boxes! Was never this confusing with my 2 children lol xx

[mischadee]

It does have a line but I wouldn't be 100% with having false positives on them :/ I'd be running to the closest shop in the morning haha good luck

[Meg91]

Ahh thank you! Here's one of my CB ones xx

[lousylear]

Big fat positive. Bfn - big fat negative.

[Meg91]

What is BFP? Trying to work out all these abbreviations lol xx

[mischadee]

I hope they are right for you but I would suggest getting some cheap pink dye tests from a shop and testing with them they're the only ones I trust now .. them and digitals but I hope it is your bfp

[Meg91]

Ahh that's a shame! I've recently used 3 clearblue tests and all came up positive but very faintly. I'm now panicking and cannot get excited because of all the horror stories on the internet about false positives!! xxx

[mischadee]

I did and up getting my period but really awkwardly during my gyno appointment but she said that everything looks good so there's no reason I shouldn't be able to concieve soon ... if it doesn't happen soon they can start to help me with some treatments but I should try naturally first

[Meg91]

How you getting on mischadee? Xx

[mischadee]

Don't know if anyone's still interested I still haven't had my period or a true positive test but the doctor wont do anything until I'm a few months late

[mischadee]

I think I'm out if I was pregnant it would be showing up much darker by now going to just wait for af now thanks everyone

[mischadee]

I'm trying it's just so strange that they were so positive in person now barely anything on some. . My cats acting up too haha I know that's not anything to do with pregnancy but just strange that she's become so clingy

[gingerbreadmanm]

Could be symptoms? I know its awful the waiting but just stay positive. If the drs will help, worth a trip.

[mischadee]

I feel really strange today really dizzy and sick .. last night i got hives all over my chest so i dont know whats happening ... my partner's trying to get me to go to the doctors I'm just worrying incase it's the same outcome again

[gingerbreadmanm]

I was just thinking the same. Can u get some asda ones? They r good.

Id be tempted by the doctors now i think, hcg levels tested.

[HungryHorace]

I've heard that current FRERs are a bit crap.

You should be getting positives on a digi by now I'd think.

How do you feel?

[mischadee]

If there was any way to confuse me more the frer were fainter this morning and clearblue darker

[mischadee]

I've been dipping them for the 5 seconds that they say to so I don't know what to a with that ... I have 3 apps on the go one says I was due 4 days a go one 2 days ago and the other one says tomorrow so I'm still not sure how far past ovulation I am .. I know my sisters tested positive at 5 weeks with all pregnancies and my friend only got hers at 6 weeks hoping its just that I'm testing early

[HungryHorace]

They've all looked really wet. Could you not dip them for as long? (I assume you're peeing into something and dipping, not putting it in your urine stream? If you're doing the latter, just do the former, it might help.)

There's a line and a line means pregnant, in any event! :-)

[gingerbreadmanm]

Well thats's what u want and still no af so looking good.

[mischadee]

I hope so I was hoping it would be darker today
I just lined them up and I can see them getting darker so I guess its a good sign

[gingerbreadmanm]

Have u kept all ur tests? It made me feel positive writing the dates each one was done and lining them up for a pic lol! Try and do it in front of a window so lots of natural light.

Try and use the same tests too.

[gingerbreadmanm]

Its definitely darker tho! I think hcg levels double every day. I reckon ul av a nice strong line at the weekend and will get something on a digi.

[mischadee]

How long is it meant to take to get a strong
positive
It's dragging now .. they're getting barely darker by the day
