Opinions on postive tests?

So i recently took a few first response early detection tests which came back positive but today took a clearblue digital which came back as 'not pregnant' so what do we think? I've worked out I'd be a month if i was pregnant is it still too early for digital tests to detect or not?

FRERs are sensitive to 10mlu (I think) and most digital tests require 50mlu. So a FRER will show positive before a digital will.

A positive result on a FRER is a positive result. It will probably turn positive on a digital in a day or so. Congratulations!

1wanda1 is correct.

What it’s worth bearing in mind also is that your hcg levels (which the test is checking for) double every 48 hours, so if they were at 10 when you got your first positive, they’d be at 20 two days later, then 40 two days after that, then 80 two days after that. So it could be up to a week before the pregnancy will show on a 50 mlu digital test.

Good luck and I hope it all works out for you 🤞
