Need some help regarding pregnancy tests

Hi, so I took a pregnancy test and a faint line showed within the time window. I rushed out to get a clear blue digital test to see how many weeks.

this test came back not pregnant. I don’t know what to do. Do I use the other test from the back in the morning? Or am I risking disappointment again?

I have attached a photo of the first test. The line was a little darker to begin with

Clear blue needs more hcg to get a positive.. Give it a few days!!
Congratulations!

The clear blue tests require a higher level of hormone to register as positive. I'd leave it a couple days and re test, as hard as it is!
Get yourself a first response test they're really good! Good luck xx

How many DPO are you, @Sbwat ? If it's very early that would explain the very faint line and the non-result on the Digi.

You need to give it a few days, allow the HCG to increase, and then test again and hopefully get a better, clearer result.

I’ve just ordered some first response on Amazon. Thank you for the recommendation

@Regenbogen22 its a little difficult to answer. My periods are currently all over the place since having my implant removed.

so i usually follow the guidelines for testing after unprotected sex.

I think I’ve figured out why it’s happened. I got some wee on the test window when testing.

so it’s probably an evap line. I couldn’t wait so tested again (against your advice I know but I was too excited) and it was negative.

I’ve got some tests coming so I’ll wait a few days and test again but looks like it’s not to be yet

The Digi tests are just an expensive bit of fun. I'd wait until you've got a clear no mistaking line, before spending your money. Good luck.

Wish they would ban the things me.

I would put some pee in a pot and dip the test in op it's much easier and stops it from going in the window xxx
