Positive digital pregnancy test followed by more than 5 negatives

Hi all,

Took a pregnancy test on Christmas eve as for few weeks I’ve been throwing up non stop and the fatigue has been unreal and I have been avoiding certain foods like the plague that I’d normally be eating non stop.
My mother actually suggested I take a test and I did with the Boots Digital pregnancy test and the first one I did came up clear as day “Pregnant”.
I couldn’t breathe and we were so shocked yet so elated and excited. I called my partner straight away but wished I hadn’t as I took the second test half an hour later and it came back “Not pregnant” and I was devastated.
My mum explained that a false negative is more likely than a false positive so she’s still convinced I am in fact pregnant.
The next couple of days I did 5 strip tests and one exacto early pregnancy test (one of the best French pregnancy tests out there tells you wether you are 1 week, 2weeks or 3+weeks) and all have come back negative and not pregnant. I’m so confused and want to hold on to that emotion I felt looking at that first test but now I just don’t know what to think. Any suggestions as to what could be happening here is it possible that the positive test was an error or a dodgy test?
Would really like to know if anyone’s experienced the same thing here and what their stories are.

Many thx,
El x

You took the second test 30 minutes after the first, so the hcg in your system wouldn’t have had time to build up again, that’s why you got the negative digital; they need a higher level of the pregnancy hormone than most tests. I’m not sure about the strip ones - are you using your first wee of the day?

I'm in the same boat. I took a Boots pregnancy test which was pregnant 2 days after my depo injection ended as I felt I had pregnancy symptoms.

3 days later I took another test and it was negative.

In the past week i have took another 3 tests, 1 positive (very faint line) the others negative! I'm very confused! Xx

Oh I didn’t realize that for the digitals!
As for the strip tests I did a couple that evening and then the rest I used my first morning wee over the past two days x
