Pregnancy test help !!!

I've had 2 children so I feel I know my body well and I've noticed a few things recently that I have experienced before when I found out I was pregnant with my 2 girls. On top of that my period is late now I brought some Tesco own tests and the second came back with a very faint positive so I asked my partner to pick up some clear blue digital he cane back with Lloyds pharmacy digital tests where you insert the cartridge into the holder ??

The digital screen shows not pregnant but when I removed the cartridge it has 2 clear lines like a normal positive pregnancy test would.

Could it be that it's just very early on so the test isn't picking up on the hormones properly just yet ? Should I wait before I do another I just want to know so tempted to pee on the all lol

Some tests pick up from 10ml (or whatever the measurement) is of HCG while the digital ones only tend to show from around 50. So you could well be pregnant but just not have enough hormone for the digi to show yet. Seeing "Pregnant" is so reassuring, I don't blame you for panicking if that's what you were expecting after a previous BFP.

Give it a day or so, first morning wee, and try a FRER if you can get hold of one.

Sounds promising, good luck Smile

Yeah could be but Clear blue are notoriously difficult to get a clear reading early on so I would stick with a pink dye test and try again in morning

The pregnancy tests at B&M and home Bargains for just over a quid (stick ones not dipstick ones) are great for cheap tests and work really well.

Thanks I'm pretty sure I am I'll wait a few days to try again with the digital but will pick a cheap one up in b&m tomorrow as I'll be going past anyway .
