Positive FRER, negative CB digi, AF late, advise please?

[Carysmatic]

Hey so yesterday I took a FRER test which came back with a faint but clear line, I'm 19 DPO today (I got a positive OPK, so def know when I ovulated) my cycles are like clockwork at 27-28days and I am now CD 31 so I'm around 3/4days late. I've been getting a lot of milky white, creamy CM but no spotting, I've also been experiencing a constant low level of nausea and bloating. I took a CB digi just now and has come back at "Not Pregnant" it wasn't FMU and I was only able to hold my wee for 2 hours not 4. Has anyone had anything similar and gone on to be pregnant or does this sound like it could be a chemical? Or perhaps the HCG just isn't high enough in my system yet as the FRER done yesterday with FMU was very faint? Help please?

I'd try not to worry cb digital are not very sensitive so until you get a decent line on frer it might not detect anything. Try again in a few days when your levels will have got higher 🤞🏻☺️

Did you continue to test after your positive OPK? - it sometimes happens that the body gears up to ovulate but for whatever reason it doesn't do it so tries again which means ovulation could be couple days later than you think

Also FRER has sensitivity of about 6hcg and clearblue digital is 25 so at least 4 days difference if hcg doubles every 24 hours

Also clearblue does work better with concentrated urine

CB Digi tests aren't as sensitive as the frer so give it a few days and try again if you want to use another CB Digi. Don't bother holding your wee in, it doesn't do anything, once it's in the bladder it stays there unchanged. fmu is more concentrated because the body regulates urine output overnight and keeps you from having to wake up all the time to wee. In the morning the waste products (and Hcg etc) are excreted in a smaller amount of liquid (than if you had not been asleep) and has a higher concentration of the important stuff, that's why it is better for tests. Most importantly congratulations!

(hopefully congratulations is appropriate, apologies if not)

Hi,

I am in a very similar situation. I was due AF Tuesday/Wednesday and nothing. I thought I had AF cramps Monday so have been waiting for her arrival. I’ve had so much milky/watery CM all week but no other symptoms at all. I done a CB test this morning but nothing. I can’t help but feel so disappointed. Could there still be a chance of a BFP?

Clear blue digital tests are not very sensitive try an frer? 🤞🏻

Literally in the last 5mins I've just had some spotting, not very heavy, more like mixed with CM, I'm fairly certain it's a chemical 😔💔

Could I be pregnant? One test I can vaguely see a faint line ... another test. Same brand. BFN. Both brands are first response the early ones. Period due tomo. Having some early pregnancy symptoms/ pms symptoms .
