So frustrated with clear blue pregancy tests!!!

[annajane10]

I have now taken 8 !!! (Yes 8!)clear blue tests. I am getting annoyed and obsessed with the results... everytime i take them, a thin blue line forms after 10 mins. I don't think its a positive as it comes up after the time. But i know you are meant to throw them away, but why on earth do they form this cross after a time.... i feel its really bad if you are trying for a baby and actually think you may be and its just the stupid test!!! aaaaggghhhh, had to vent my frustration......

the only way is to wait til you're definitely past the day your period was due and do a digital test with first morning wee. I drove myself mad with tests when ttc my 2 as the lines were always really faint at first - only got peace of mind when I did the digital.

i took a test that took about that time for a faint line to appear. took another one the next day same went doctors and am now 30 weeks pregnant maybe try a different brand. or wait a few days to test again it could be the levels of hmg r low.

Just spoke to clear blue and all they could say, its just something that happens to some women!!! i have 2 girls so i know its not normal. Getting a blood test Monday, if its negative, then i'm going to send them all the tests and complain

I just feel frustrated but know deep down its my fault for looking after the test time just so broody

Awww thankyou for that i really feel i'm driving myself round the bend with these tests, and spent too much on them. WeeTiger best of luck with your pregnancy Squeezy i will definately only buy digital now Charzie, i hope mine will become a positive xxx

I've found best results with the cheapie ones from eBay (reputable companies, naturally), which can detect lower HPG levels than the ones you buy at the chemist. With those I had faint positives on Sunday and, finally, today have had a strong positive. I seem to remember that you said you were only just about due on, possibly not quite yet? In which case you could still be. Wishing you lots of luck!

Thanks for that Allie i'm going on ebay to order some now, because we have decided if its negative monday then we will start trying properly

Hey, I know they are expensive, but the digital ones leave no room for confusion.... it says pregnant or not pregnant.... at least that way you can't drive yourself nuts trying to decide if it says yes or no by the darkness of line!!

Wishing you luck

I agree with CazEM; the digital ones are the best. I tried the liney ones and got the same results as you; 3 days later I did a digital one and got a BFP it doesn't half p*ss you off though; how hard can it be to produce a test that's right? 99% accurate my arse!

there was a thread recently about this i cant remember what the title was...you are not alone it seems xx ask doc for blood test??

Argh, I hate CB non digis. I have had lines come up immediately, very not helpful when they are BFNs

try using first response or somethin?? maybe a different test will clarify xxxx

Thanks everyone, i'm going to hold back til Monday and see what the doctor saysxxxx

First Response are great. When I got my positive result it was on an internet cheapie first, and then on an FR to confirm...I wasn't going to waste all that money on a negative!

I did do a CB Digi a few days leter, just to see the words come up...

Good luck
All my bfp have been with home and bargain own brand at 99p each !!
