Positive & negative tests from same

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any advice as I'm a bit all over the place emotionally right now!

We've been TTC baby #2 for a few months, all we've had so far is stark negatives, and this morning there was a faint, but definite line on a test. I got excited and bought some more tests as the one I used was from the hospital and only detects 25 IU/L. So I bought a boots own and a CB early digital which both detect 10 IU/L I believe. I dipped these in the same urine (which had been kept in a sealed urine pot) and they both came back negative.
I'm feeling pretty down as I had got my hopes up, I thought surely if the less sensitive one had a faint line, then the others would show a BFP. Has anyone else experienced this and still been pregnant?

I'm not technically 'late' as my cycles can vary, but I'm CD30 with no sign of AF (usually I have cramping and back ache for a couple of days before) and AF has shown up CD27 my last few cycles. I don't know how many DPO I am as stopped OPK testing this month due to the stress it was causing. I have now also had some very light, light brown spotting only on wiping this afternoon Could I still be pregnant or was this likely an evap or something similar?

Did you use pink dye?

Did you use pink dye?

Yes, they were both pink dye other than the early digital

I found out I was pregnant last week and when I was 4 days before AF was due I showed positive on a pink dye clear blue early detector test (very faint) and on the same day took a clear blue digital test and it came up negative. I wanted until 2 days before I tested again and it came up on the digital test as a positive

Congratulations!
I will test again in a couple of days it's just really confused me. Was it a normal CB digital you used or one of the early detection ones?

Clear blue normal. I would definitely wait a few days then test again. I felt so in limbo when I first tested because I knew it was a line but it was so faint! Good luck!

Yes that's exactly how I feel at the moment. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Thank you!

Hi OP, all you can do is wait a couple of days and retest I'm afraid, that's the only way to know for sure.
There's people on here used 2 identical tests and had different results from the same sample so take all early test results with a pinch of salt.
Good luck
