Not really sure what to think. I’m getting faint lines on the cheap tests but stark negative on clear blue. Period due tomorrow 😩 anyone had this? I thought clear blue were meant to be the best?

I would bet my house you are pregnant. Congrats!

Clear blue are known to have a much higher hormone threshold requirement for + result. I tested positive on cheap pregnancy test 1 week before positive on clear blue for two of my pregnancies.

That’s crazy! Especially the price of clear blue you’d think they’d show 😩 I feel like I’m going crazy 😩

If you can get your hands on a clear blue ultra early digital (agree annoyingly pricey, make sure to check its the 10miu/ml sensitivity) that gave me a “pregnant” when I had vfl on cheapies

best of luck!!

You are not going mad and it's a way for big pharma to get you to spend even more money. Get a red line test, the cheap ones in boots or superdrug, they are always better at early indication. My GP swore by the ones she used, cheapo red line, and said "a line is a line!".

Best of luck 🤞
