Clear blue positive but other brands negative

Hi
.
I've done a test and clear blue digital says positive 1-2 weeks which would be correct ish.

I think I ovulated 30th May, so would be about 16dpo

However, sainsburys, boots and some hcg strips have all said negative. They are the same 25miu as the clear blue, so im confused as my hcg should be detectable by now?

Also I've got mild period like cramps below, and headaches is this normal or not a good sign?

Thanks

I can see a faint line in the non digital? As well as the obvious 1-2 weeks.
Look it's soooo hard o know just calm and wait two more days and take again. Have you missed your period? I'd always wait till it's missed for sure results xxx

@Erinrose82
I'm usually a 26-29 day cycle, so have missed my period. I did my tests Monday the digital said pregnant and today Thursday and no change to the others which still show no lines.

This is my first time so have no idea what to expect, reading up my hcg levals should have increased by now, unless I'm still too early?

I really am sorry I have no idea... make an appointment today to see gp ? I don’t understand either but didn’t want to not reply xxx

expectinglittlebear · 17/06/2021 15:19

Can't see the photos, but clearblue tests are much more sensitive than regular ones. I got a BFP on a clearblue and BFN on others, and then about a week later, I got BFP on the others.

Ineedacoffee21 · 17/06/2021 15:34

I can see a line on your boots test!
Were they all taken with the same urine??
If the clear blue is First morning urine and others are after the HCG concentrate will be different whilst it’s early xx

Cap89 · 17/06/2021 15:43

I can also see a line on your boots test, quite clearly actually. I’d be surprised if the lines didn’t get darker and more visible over the next few days. I wouldn’t bother with the gp yet, test again in 48 hours and I reckon you’ll have a clearer line. I’d trust that digital for now.

Congratulations, looks like your bfp to me :)

Hollylil · 17/06/2021 17:49

Heres the ones from today, I'm not getting much hope.

First response early was clearly negative today. Tested with same urine 🙄

Hollylil · 17/06/2021 17:53

Oops sorry that's the wrong image, but my digital said the same positive and both first responses early detection were negative (it was positive Monday, now negative)

Hi

The 1-2 weeks result is HCG level

Clear blue positive but other brands negative
DizzySquirrel90 · 17/06/2021 18:00

Bearing in mind ovulation happens days prior to implantation, HCG only starts to rise after implantation.

Period like cramps are normal.

Congrats OP.

Marty13 · 17/06/2021 18:01

You said tested with same urine, did you keep the urine for a while ? That may affect the result. For accurate results you need fresh urine.

Hollylil · 17/06/2021 18:14

That's interesting, I didnt know that I assumed it was the 4 weeks since last period. But odd that first response is under 10 for sensitivity and that was negative today.

I'm about 16-17dpo if I ovulated around the 31st May

OP posts:
DizzySquirrel90 · 17/06/2021 18:22

Sorry OP I didn't realise you tested negative today.

Was the urine used today concentrated? If so it could've been a chemical pregnancy.

anniebu · 17/06/2021 18:29

If you ovulated 16 days ago (and you ovulated only once) not having a strong positive after two weeks plus will in all likelyhood mean you had a chemical. Test in a few days but be ready for any result. Take care

Hollylil · 17/06/2021 18:33

It wasn't my first urine though today, but second, however I hadn't had any fluids though it was when I woke up. I could try again tomorrow or wait a day to see, then if no luck it probally could be chemical.

My clear blue digital was the second urine too, and that still says pregnant 1-2

Still no bleeding though and I feel a bit bloated in the stomach, so guess it's a waiting game, to see if I get a negative and my period.

OP posts:
DizzySquirrel90 · 17/06/2021 18:39

Sorry it's unclear what has been positive and what has been negative. If you had a positive today (CB) then test again in a few days with a sensitive test, the easy@home ones are also 10miU I believe.

1-2 weeks is since conception not since last period

Hollylil · 18/06/2021 09:32

I'm still getting no with first response today and this on clear blue guessing this is a evap line.

I'll stop testing now for a bit

This one's today, no line on first response

More I look its probally a chemical, so ill wait for my AF, feel a bit nauseous today, but that could be because it's hot and I'm worried.

Did you have any updates? No sign of period but symptoms of pregnancy ( I know because I have a little boy already) and negative first response the day my periods meant to of arrived? X
