Positive tests, negative digi

WillowRose1411 · 2025-03-23T15:20:54+00:00

Hello I have a history of recurrent miscarriage. I’m about 17dpo and had my first bfp a week ago, tests have been gradually getting darker. I’ve attached a picture of this mornings test however I got a ‘not pregnant’ on a clear blue digital not long after. Is this yet another chemical or is there still hope? I certainly feel pregnant- nauseous, tired and bloated but worried it could all be in my head now :( With my little boy I had a positive digi by now so am losing hope a little thanks in advance x

There’s a lot of wet under that cap, and that line is very thin, with a separate shadow of blue behind it. A positive is generally a consistent line the same thickness as the control line, it just looks odd to me.
If you dip a test in a collected sample for the 10 seconds-or however long it states-does a line still come up?

Thank you for your reply. Yes that’s how I do my tests I always dip them. I’ve had multiple tests that look like this and had what I believe are positives using other tests too
ive attached a pic of a Superdrug own brand one I took this evening (23) with one from 4 days ago as a reference above it (19)

I agree with OP that the clear blue looks a little off with one sided line. But the Superdrug ones look really promising. With regards to the negative on a digital, do you know what sensitivity it is? I think digitals vary in sensitivity. When did you expect your period? Even if you had a positive a week ago. It still might not be high enough if the digital is a higher HCG. Wait a few more days and test again. Keep us updated! X 🙏

Thank you for your reply ❤️
I believe the sensitivity was 25 on the digital and I expected my period around Thursday or Friday (but they can differ month to month)
thank you I will do x

Yeah so it most likely isn’t high enough for the digital then. Praying that it’s just that! Out of curiosity, was it the weeks digital from clear blue? I think I recall seeing quite a lot of comments on them being harder to get accurate results on earlier on! X

Yes it’s the weeks one, not the early one.
I remember getting a positive digital around this time with my son so thought I’d try and was so disappointed. Fingers crossed it’s just that. My husband wants me to test again first thing is there a chance it could show? Or do I wait. Thank you again x
