Just on a whim took a first response as due on tomorrow and don’t feel like it.

got a faint line - kept the wee (ewww) and got some more tests

I have I think another line but negative on digital - am I imagining the line?

The FRER ones look grey so I think it’s the dreaded indents they are so common for. Digital aren’t as sensitive though so the negative doesn’t mean you aren’t pregnant.
Test again in a couple of days if AF doesn’t arrive. Good luck.

They look positive to me. Definite lines and not indents. That's what mine looked like early on. The digital ones usually take longer for the positive to show.

Was the clearblue an early one too? It is possible it’s just not quite enough to show yet. Give it another day or two OP.

You are pregnant, how many days post sex?

@Scalessayeek it was the 6 day early one - not first wee of the day as I just did the first test on the off chance

@SisterAct123 its been about 10-14 days since I had sex so would be around that time…

First response definitely has colour.
I would wait 2 days and use FMU on Friday.

HCG probably not high enough for the clearblue yet.

Twoinapod · 15/02/2023 13:57

Frer are more sensitive. I got my first positive on a free on Monday, looked just like yours. Today I got 1-2 weeks on a CB digital. I had some test strips that didn’t show a positive in the time frame, I only caught a glimpse at a certain angle when I went to Chuck it in the bin. But showed on frer. Obviously if a digital doesn’t show in the time frame it counts it as a negative. Give it a few days and try again. Hcg doubles every 48 hours, but at the beginning that could go from 6 ( which is enough for a frer to detect) to a 12 (which will get picked up on those early digitals)

@BudgetBuster will try and hold out until Friday!

@Twoinapod congratulations! How many dpo were you?

BudgetBuster · 15/02/2023 15:06

@Bertiebean I know it's so hard to wait.
I'm only suggesting Friday as your HCG doubles approximately every 48hrs so you might not get a high enough reading tomorrow morning either on CB. I was due AF yesterday and trying to hold off testing a few days as I only Boots strips in the house but they aren't early detection. The wait is painful, but your FRER is a pretty clear line.

@BudgetBuster normally I’m squinting trying to create a line but I was surprised when the first one came up.

fingers crossed for you - let me know how you get on

OP posts:

VictoriaBlossom · 15/02/2023 16:31

If it's any help, this was mine yesterday at 10dpo
I will do another frer tomorrow morning as I plan to poas every other day with these expensive sticks.
Internet cheapy tests are just a slight line x

VictoriaBlossom · 15/02/2023 16:32

Helps if I attach

Twoinapod · 15/02/2023 18:57

So I couldn’t wait til Friday but did a digital this morning FMU and it is positive!!!

VictoriaBlossom · 16/02/2023 09:43

Eeeeeek sending lots of baby dust to you @Bertiebean
When you had a chemical did you find your lines got much darker on your tests?

SisterAct123 · 16/02/2023 10:10

@VictoriaBlossom no they stayed light and then I went from 1-2 weeks on a digital to not pregnant and started bleeding the next day
