Bit of a weird one I did a saliva pregnancy test and got a negative out of curiosity I also used it with urine and I got a positive on two of them I used a early clearblue as still 4 days from missed period and was negative any help

It’s not a urine test and is therefore invalid.

I don’t think you can count a positive if you didn’t use the test correctly. Wait a couple of days and test again with an early test used correctly.

I'm assuming it was a saliva pregnancy test? Rather than using one designed for urine with saliva?! The urine used on a saliva test would be invalid tho as they work differently.

I've used them once to confirm I wasn't pregnant when I got a false positive on a urine test (due to having taken night nurse) and it was right.. I wasn't pregnant

Overall as you'd need to disregard the positives you got on the saliva as they were used with urine I'd retest with a FRER or boots early detection as they're super sensitive and less prone to evaps than clear blue, but at the moment it sounds negative. What dpo are you?

The only tests that will work are ones you use and interpret according to the instructions.
