One step pregnancy tests

Hello, ive put this over in the infertility pages but if anyone here can help that would be great.
I could really do with advice/support on this one, or if anyone has any experience of the one step pregnancy tests...
I'm currently 15dp5dt, my test date was Sunday and I used the one step test the clinic gave me. It came up as a very faint positive. As I couldn't phone the clinic to report until yesterday, I went out and bought tesco own brand test and retested yesterday morning. Still a very faint positive. I didn't realise that my husband had also bought tests (FRRR) from Amazon, so mid morning yesterday I tested again and got a much stronger positive.

After speaking to the clinic they asked me to come in today for the first beta hcg test, when I got there they asked me to test again with a one step test, it was negative, and so they told me to prepare for a chemical pregnancy. I was a bit stunned as I tested first thing this morning and had a clear positive, anyway they've taken bloods and I'll get them back tomorrow.

I retested when I got home (yes, again!) and it was positive.

What on earth is going on? Has anyone else had confusing results from a one step test

They may have tested when your urine was diluted...
Don't give up just yet!

Thanks. They were just so sure that it was a chemical pregnancy that they weren't interested in what I was saying. So frustrating.

If your pregnancy line was getting darker it's not a chemical. Chemical shows positive but it's always faint. Sometimes when you're early on and your urine is diluted the test may not read positive, but your blood test should be able to tell you for sure. My fingers are crossed for you!! Keep us updated
